Topic	What would you say are the hardest RPGs (Pre-PS1 Era)
Gaawa_chan 11/04/21 9:58:49 AM #16:	Hmm... there was a game, Castle of the Winds, that I remember being very hard, but I haven't played it in literal decades (so I was a child at the time) so I'm not sure if that is an accurate assessment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyxFARKeYlY Oh, here it is. :3 The Ultima games could be very difficult, especially if you go into them blind. Gotta love booting up a game you bought used for the first time, accidentally walking into the water because you're used to rpgs of that era not letting you do that, and your characters drowning themselves one by one as they follow the lead character to their watery end like a teeny, tiny cult... restarting the game, not realizing there's a hunger mechanic, and having your whole party starve to death in the same rapid manner, lol. Lord of the Rings, Vol 1 can be very difficult, but not for any good reason, lol. That game is a big mess. I've heard Wizardry IV is obscenely difficult, but I've never played it personally. Edit: Omfg, you start with 1 HP, wtf, wtf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQz_i6chNgY wpot posted... Again, it was difficult for people mostly because it had action-game-like sidescrolling dungeons. For those who only played turn-based RPGs or the slow-moving battle in Zelda 1 that was a challenge. Also, there were several things that were hard to find if you weren't following Nintendo Power/etc as you played. I honestly think the first game is harder than the second. --- Hi <cite>Gaawa_chan posted [p:959683220] in What would...
