Playing Discworld

'Discworld must have been a pretty important game, when it came out. A GOOD game based on a popular series of books with beautifully drawn graphics. Plus, voice acting by the likes of Eric Idle, Tony Robinson and Rob Brydon.

None of this mattered to me in the January of 1996, however, when it became a milestone of my gaming life.'

Remasters for the Classic Point and Click Discworld games "may happen", but it's up to the monarchy

From GameWatcher: "Between 1995 and 2000, three classic point-and-click games were released based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. These games are Discworld, Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?, and Discworld Noir.

For many years, fans have eagerly requested a rerelease or remaster of the series, making it a highly coveted item on GOG's Community Wishlist. This platform is renowned for revitalising classic DOS games, ensuring they can operate on modern machines."

Contra was hard with just 3 lives.

Not really. Definitely not one of the most infuriatingly difficult games of all time.

DarXyde2193d ago

Go home, dude. You're drunk. Contra was definitely hard. Play it without the Konami code or save states.

Cuphead is far less worthy of this list than Contra. It's hard, but can still be beaten in single digit days.

KwietStorm_BLM2193d ago

God forbid someone has a different opinion or maybe can handle a difficult game, right? What's wrong with some of you? If I told you I've gone through Contra with the Konami code but never lost more than 3 lives, would that make any difference to you?

DarXyde2193d ago

Are you actually taking offense to me saying "go home, you're drunk"? Are you serious?

Fine, I'll make it palatable for your sensibilities...

I, and perhaps many others who remember how difficult classics like Contra are (and including Contra) strongly disagree with your exclusion of Contra from this list. It's arguably am objectively challenging title.

By the way, that question is likely rhetorical, but if you were to say you used the code and beat it without losing 3 lives, I'd call you a liar, of course!

Clearly this person never had an NES.

KwietStorm_BLM2193d ago

Why do you say that? There's NES games on the list.

NapalmSanctuary2193d ago

No Ninja Gaiden? Seriously? Ninja Gaiden Black is harder than Dark Souls.

I found Cuphead more tedious and boring than difficult.
