Here’s a thread for posting really hard games/mods/hacks you’ve come across. I’ll do my best to keep a list of the games posted in this post. I’m largely thinking of indie stuff, so don’t be surprised if I ignore your Touhou/NINJA GAIDEN IS SOOO HARRRD rants. Ninja Gaiden is for pussies who don’t remember the original game, and Team Shanghai Alice totally sold out when they made the third game have good graphics, maaaaannn.

When posting a game, please give its name, a brief description that includes whether it’s a standalone game, a mod or a hack, what system it’s for, its price or lack thereof, and a website where you can get it or get more information about it.

LIST OF GAMES:

I Wanna Be The Guy(IWBTG)

-freeware, PC- platformer

– http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/

A mbumive, well made and thoroughly punishing platformer that includes twisted elements from all sorts of old nintendo games, all rewired to kill you harder. I’m still waiting for someone to post an Impossible mode run online. Made by the legendary Kayin, who is totally into guro.

Bunny Must Die(BMD)

-freeware(I think), PC- SotN type

-http://www20.cds.ne.jp/~murasame/games/bmd.htm

A large, quality Sotn style game theat doesn’t take itself too seriously. The new dynamic is being able to slow down, stop or reverse time to deal with a couple abusively hard timed gate puzzles. Just to make it even more fun, there are apparently bonus areas accessible by getting to the end of the game fast enough, with no deaths. I think. Did I mention it’s in Japanese?

Chrono Coliseum

-ROM hack(Chrono Trigger, SNES you philistine), RPG

-http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Chrono_Trigger_Coliseum.html

Chrono Trigger was a great game, but the difficulty level was a joke. This hack adds an arena area with solo and team modes, special battle conditions, and the most blatantly unfair enemy combinations the game engine permits. You have to find keys added to the main game to unlock the three challenges, so it may take you a while to get to the new stuff, but hey- it’s Chrono Trigger, it’ll still be fun!

(Note: I’d appreciate some confirmation that this site is the latest or last version of this hack).
