You ever have these friends back in the day when you were a kid, who either forced you to watch a video game you didn't like because it was too hard but that friend kept playing it all the time you went over & you really had no choice but to sit there & take it?
Yes!! I spent whole summers watching my buddy do that 🤣 I was usually OK with it because his parents bought him everything he wanted. He NEVER let me play
@@RNGGamerYT I highly recommend World with its Iceborne expansion or Rise with its Sunbreak expansion if you ever do decide to get into the series. The newer entries tend to be more beginner friendly while still providing quite the challenge. I put in over 400 hours in my first three months of owning Rise/Sunbreak and have been loving it.
Myst is such a classic. I replayed it last summer and there is always at least one puzzle I can't remember. I also finally managed to beat Riven (Myst 2) after many years where I was always giving up near the end. VVVVVV is also quite the classic. I try from time to time to beat the game with the least amount of death possible without collecting the trinkets. Some of those are really hard to get and I don't feel like getting them again lol (I am looking at you "the warning" and "edge games")
I loved Myst. I almost finished it without help. But I had to get help to solve the last puzzle... Wish I saw this video before I bought Velocity 2x. That game does not seem like a thing for me. But I guess Ill found out if I try it.
Hardest game i could remember was Driver on the PS1. I was stuck in a parking garage with a list of moves that i didn't know how to do! Worst tutorial in gaming history!
The one trick I could never do. It haunts me. My cousin and I wasted 7 bucks on it. It sucked and my grandma wasn't about to rent a 2nd game so we tried to make do. He flipped and broke the controller...no more games for that visit.
@@RNGGamerYT It took a while, probably because many FMV project in the 90s were so expensive and flopped pretty hard, hopefully this time it sticks better and FMV becomes a part of normal gaming.
Man I loved Velocity 2x! It is definitely tough, but it is one of those games I kept going back to and eventually earned the platinum trophy! I can see it driving people nuts though. And I've still never played Myst!
F-Zero GX. Especially the story mode in that game is VERY difficult, even moreso on the harder difficulties. Insane objectives, tight time trials, blatantly cheating as well as rubber banding AI, you name it. However, leaving all that aside: this also is one the BEST racing games ever made. Tight controls, great visuals, smooth 60 fps, gameplay that pumps up your adrenaline at 2000 kph. A triumph both in difficulty and in quality.
Damn i remember playing endless hours of Riven - The sequel to Myst as a kid, running around exploring everythiiing, but not being able to make anymore progress.. then i bought this guide/ book which had pictures and everything which actually helped me finish the game, but thinking to myself this is literally Impossible to solve without any help :)) Another super hard game i recently played: Ghostrunner .. played like two or three hours of it, but then stopped because it just got too harddd.. Hardest Shmup in my opinion: G-Darius HD ..i love the look of it, the music, the whole vibe.. but damn even on the easiest settings i die like every 20sec, especially in the later levels..
I have G Darius HD, and I'm really looking forward to playing it. Ghostrunner is one I've been on the fence about. I'll have to wait and see if I bite the bullet on it 😅
@@RNGGamerYT It's not the same game, it's a roge-like kinda of sequel. I'm curious, but have a lot of things to play before even thinking about buying it.
Growing up in the UK in the 8-bit era, most games were incredibly hard. Try playing Jet Set Willy, or Manic Minor, or even Treasure Island Dizzy on the C64
Love this vid! Are you still planning to play Control? It's not Track Mania but it has its moments lol I played Myst on a Tandy 1000 EX lmao. In that same vein, have you tried Seventh Guest or 11th Hour? Equally maddening
@RNGGamerYT if you want some advice, max out your Launch skill and get multi-launch which is the last one in the tree. Takes a while to get there though. Levitate is great too if you don't mind being exposed and can shoot from the air pretty well
You mentioned two of my favorite games ever in this video. I love both the Trackmania games and the Trials games. I have a video on Facebook of one of my cousins repeatedly failing a jump in the 2nd Trial’s game it took him over 365 tries…😂. We are laughing at him as if we could do better? I will buy each of those games and play until it gets too hard, but have a blast until then. They need to make a new one.
Loved this! 😂I played myst on my dads 486 pentium I think?? And how you described it by waiting 15 seconds also happened when you clicked on anything also! 😂I didn’t beat it either but I thought it was pretty cool. I watched my buddy beat it though. He literally explained the plot and characters to me and I was like “ahhh”. 😁
I love the Trials series, ive beaten them all so far, i really liked trials HD on the 360. I let my kids play it a couple weeks ago and they quickly quit playing it lol
@@RNGGamerYT It's why I have Obduction for the PS4, another game made by the makers of Myst. One of my big finds when I started collecting. I still want the big box versions of all the Myst games. There are at leat three versions of Myst. Some of which used quucktime elements for movement, others actually used the original 3D files so you are not limited to images and you can actually explore the Islands. In later editions, the piano in the rocket was made easier, which was really helpful since I didn't know how to recreate sounds I'd heard on a piano.
Awesome vid as alway's buddy . Super hard one for me that i never finished is Turtles on the NES i could never get past the technodrome last stage lol. Trials is awesome aswell me and my friends used to play that constantly for fastest times. Super hard but super fun :D
@@RNGGamerYT Yes it's Brutal. And the Technodrone was so hard for me as well because by the time I got there, I didn't have the turtles or energy to make it through. The battle itself isn't that hard. It was just getting there with all your turtles on board with decent health bars.
Racing games have never really interested me but that track mania game looks worth a try. I always found the old pre internet point and click games difficult, especially ones where the puzzles were just so obscure. I remember being stuck on discworld as a child for ages and then randomly put a butterfly near a lamppost and that caused it to rain? Something like that but the memory is muddled with time.
it's weird because sometimes i have the inverse where a game that i easily beat as a kid i struggle with now. i'll sit here and think "how did 10 year old me fucking figure this shit out?!"
Try out Trackmania. It's a lot of fun... up to a point. I hated those esoteric adventure game puzzles, too. They rarely made sense and just consisted of you trying every item on every object until something worked. Some games would screw you over by doing this and soft lock you.... so annoying 🤣
Trials Fusion is so much fun! I was really into it a few years back and I felt so accomplished when I finished every track. From my personal experience, Celeste is the most difficult game I’ve ever tried. I died 900+ times (the game tracks your death total) and gave up at only 34% progress in the game.
You're amazing for finishing trials fusion! I want to play Celeste so badly. It's been sitting on the backlog forever and has worked its way up pretty far
I am curious about your random selection method. What do you do if a game gets picked from a series that has older entries you haven’t played yet? Do you play the older entry first, or stick with the selection even if it means playing a series out of order?
“Myst and Riven cured my insomnia! 😵💫 😱 If you suffer with being entertained for hours wide awake like I did, 10/10 self-induced narcoleptics agree that THIS IS THE SERIES FOR YOU!!!”
Real talk though I loved the games, hahaha 😂 Robyn Miller’s soundtrack for the trilogy - especially Myst and Riven - remains unmatched for ambient soundscapes to this day. Strategy guides were for the weak!!! And I used it, 😂 🥴 (reluctantly lol) But I loved the deep cut troll that the format of the guide matched the game perfectly. Brilliant!! 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 Those load times though 💀
I feel like VVVVVV's generous checkpoints only made a few of the challenges really stick out to me. I feel like it's not quite 'super hard', just regular hard.
My brother and I beat myst and then riven together. Great games for back then. I was maybe 11ish. He was a bit older. It took a while but we got there.
I shouldn't of had GTA Vice City Stories at 8 years old ... but that forklift mission (if you know you know) felt truly impossible at that time. I just picked it up again recently I'm waiting to get a ps2 again but I'm scared to play that mission again lol...
Now that I'm in my 60's, when people ask me what's my hardest game, I just say "ALL of them"!!!! But seriously , one of my favorite hardest game is "Trials". There had been times I wanted to throw my controller, but I still go back to it. I don't have them inventoried but I'm pretty sure I have 3 of the Trials games, Steam, PS3, PS4, etc. If one came out tomorrow, I'd buy that immediately.
2 of the Myst style games that almost no-one I know has even heard of are: Phantasmagoria and Shivers. Both are very challenging, but are a lot less "where TF do I go." Which makes them much more fun, IMO. Not Linear per say, but 11yo me was able to figure out most things without looking at a guide (pre-internet mostly).
I've actually covered Phantasmagoria on the channel before. It is one of my favorite adventure games. Shivers is one I haven't tried, but maybe should 😅
I wholeheartedly agree regarding Trackmania Turbo. The one lap races are hard enough, especially in the endgame, but the three lap races are brutal. On a related note, I'm currently playing Session: Skate Sim, and it caught me by surprise with its precision-based difficulty. Is the latter video game a title that's currently stashed away in your backlog?
Not surprised there's a few racing games on this list. For us the time trials in Hot Wheels Unleashed we're crazy. We finished everything we could in the game and the last few time trials were just impossible that we had to give up!
Myst is one of my absolute favorites. I got all the endings and all but two achievements in the Xbox port without any help. I couldn't be bothered to find the hidden skeleton in the Mechanical Age and getting the best ending in 2 minutes is incredibly difficult with a controller.
I had no idea it even had an Xbox port!!! It's a great game, and one of my favorites from my childhood. But those puzzles are no joke for a 10 year old 🤣
A few games I really enjoy in this one! Holy Diver I didn't have that much trouble beating. I got an original Famicom cart like 20 years ago for just a few dollars, and beat it pretty quickly. I never had that bad of a time with Castlevania games either, though; they just work for me I guess. That one was Irem, not Konami, though, right? MYST was cool as well. I used to play it on Saturn all the time. Velocity 2X I really liked on PS4. I finished it within about 2 days, though I think are 3-4 stages I still need to go back amd get the best rank on. Fun stuff!
@@RNGGamerYT I think it was just a game in my wheelhouse. Velocity 2X was like that, too. You could probably do a whole episode on just Irem games. R-Type, X-Multiply, Image Fight, Metal Storm...
I know you've likely heard this before, but... that first game. I've got one question. 'Is Player made content, and PVP standings' considered part of the base game? What is 'winning' for that game.
To me, winning was just getting a medal on any track. But the game's trophies barely award you for that. So, obviously, they are pushing you to something greater
I have it, and it's in my backlog to play. The art style of it looks so intriguing. Thanks for letting me know how hard it is, I'll try not to get too upset when I play it 🤣
As someone who is a part of the speed running community, "Holy Diver" has a reputation for being an absolute nightmare. If you can speed run that, you are living in God mode. I won't touch that game, evil. EVIL
@@RNGGamerYT currently, "Jurassic park: The lost world" on playstation. I think the fastest I've seen someone do it is 31 minutes? The only problem with speed running is, you can't enjoy the game again. Everytime you play it, you'll just be racing through using all the tricks trying to get faster. "Castlevania 4" is the biggest offender for this =( in my opinion. "Contra 3" though, that speed run never gets old
@@RNGGamerYT absolutely, you go from just enjoying a game to trying to outsmart the Devs. You lose that experience they worked hard on creating for you. It's like watching a movie and not focusing on story, just figuring out the special effects. So yeah, just enjoy the games and appreciate the experience =)
@@RNGGamerYT though finally I will say "Jurassic park: The lost world" is a fantastic speed run game, because the goal is to get out of the situation as fast as possible. That's a speed runner paradise
My friend had Myst back in the day for pc. You always have these friends of yours playing the most boring games ever for hours, days, months & years. I played this game for 5 min, then quit playing it cuz it was too hard & really long.
@@RNGGamerYT For the myst game it was probably 8-10 hours a day for like 2-3 weeks. I was working very little & no school at that time. When I was a kid though growing up in the 90's. I used to spent whole summers at a friends house who lived a couple of houses down on the same street I am living now. He used to play Zelda & Sim City on the Snes & sometimes on his pc. This lasted maybe 2 summers & weekends of course when there was no school. Then in 93-94 I was old enough to travel city buses & metro's. I would now go a 10km distance where my high school friends lived. So no longer friends with him cuz of the high school friends. Now 0 problems with that cuz I play whatever I want on my own time single player games.
I liked both Toca 2 and Colin McRae rally by Codemasters, I was even pretty succesful at hardest difficulty there and was leading the championship so that I would have won it without getting any points on rest of the season... But. The game doesn't allow you to lose races and there was one track in both of the games that I just couldn't get through with decent time. After this the game just says that "ur so bad that your team fired you". Although I was basically the next champion. It was kinda tough, but also pretty unrealistic frankly.
I played trials hd like crazy, but never got into trials fusion for some reason. it felt hard to begin with and physics were different I think. android has also one trials game with a story that's actually really nice. trials frontier or smthn.
Haha, you want a tough game? Take ANY point and click game from the 90s/early 2000s, play them for the first time without googling ANYTHING, and NO peeking at a guide. Often you will know WHAT you must do, but the challenge is figuring out HOW and in which specific order you must do it. Due to hardware limitations of course. And very often the solution is so weird and convoluted it makes your head spin. And the cherry on top? You'll always feel like the worlds biggest idiot when you figure it out. YES I'M LOOKING AT YOU BROKEN SWORD GOAT!
Oh.... I've been there. Trust me. Never once have I played an old school point and click adventure game that didn't drive me up the wall with its esoteric nonsense 🤣
I forgot about hypercard!!! Haha. I'm glad I was close 🤣 I had the strategy guide to Riven, and it had a typo on the next to last puzzle that made thr game unbeatable.... I've still never finished it 🤣
Thanks for coming over and giving me a shot. I hope you enjoyed the content. It's been a slow couple of months on youtube. I'm hoping it starts to pick up soon.
@Lifefacts07739 you're absolutely right about my thumbnail work. I need some serious help with them. I've consulted with some other "experts" on about youtube and they both said, "well, your thumbnails seem to be working since you're growing very quickly for your niche." My CTR is usually pretty good... I think. But I know they are weak. I really need a thumbnail designer

One of the harder retro games I can remember is Chakan the Forever Man.
That game is supposed to be one of the hardest genesis games ever. I've been afraid to try it for years 😅
@@RNGGamerYT I can comfirm that it is indeed super hard dude 😆😆😆
Holy diver is the hardest game I have ever played. It's absurd. It's also a great game.
I agree completely! 🤣
But it's so fun.
The guys at Games Done Quick said Holy Diver is what Battletoads wants to be when it grows up. LOL.
That's one of the best quotes I've ever heard!!!
That's fairly accurate and Battle Toads is nothing to sneeze at.
@@RNGGamerYT Yeah that's good.
When RNG talked about games that force you to use your brain the first one that came to mind was Myst and it was exactly that! 😂
There are millions of us!!! Myst ruined so many childhoods 🤣
In my opinion, the older Monster Hunter games are really hard. Monster Hunter for PS2 almost made me launch my console out the window.
I know they are brutal... I'm just not sure if I have enough time left in my life to dive into Monster Hunter 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT I highly recommend World with its Iceborne expansion or Rise with its Sunbreak expansion if you ever do decide to get into the series. The newer entries tend to be more beginner friendly while still providing quite the challenge. I put in over 400 hours in my first three months of owning Rise/Sunbreak and have been loving it.
Jeez... you put in some time for sure! I'll think about it 🤣
oh god I just picked up into the breach.... didn't realize it was "hardest games ever" territory
Not all of it qualifies for hardest games ever... just a lot of it 🤣
Myst is such a classic. I replayed it last summer and there is always at least one puzzle I can't remember. I also finally managed to beat Riven (Myst 2) after many years where I was always giving up near the end. VVVVVV is also quite the classic.

VVVVVV is no joke, and going for 100% completion seems insane 😅
Great video brother! I have similar memories of Myst from school. I never knew what was happening in it! 😂
I believe they offered a reward for the first person to beat the game... and it took way longer than expected 🤣
I loved Myst. I almost finished it without help. But I had to get help to solve the last puzzle...
Wish I saw this video before I bought Velocity 2x. That game does not seem like a thing for me. But I guess Ill found out if I try it.
You must be an actual genius if you were able to make it that far into Myst 🤣
Give Velocity 2x a shot. You may really love it
@@RNGGamerYT 😄 thank you!
Hardest game i could remember was Driver on the PS1. I was stuck in a parking garage with a list of moves that i didn't know how to do! Worst tutorial in gaming history!

Man I love me Myst and all their other games, I love FMV and old school PC graphics!
I love that look, too. I'm so pumped that FMV games are making a comeback

Thanks for all of your support, Brother! Maybe we'll get a new trials game soon
2 of the Myst style games that almost no-one I know has even heard of are: Phantasmagoria and Shivers. Both are very challenging, but are a lot less "where TF do I go." Which makes them much more fun, IMO. Not Linear per say, but 11yo me was able to figure out most things without looking at a guide (pre-internet mostly).
I've actually covered Phantasmagoria on the channel before. It is one of my favorite adventure games.
Shivers is one I haven't tried, but maybe should 😅
@@RNGGamerYT Nice. I'll have to check your backlog.
@420neoclash420 I need to find a way to post it online
I wholeheartedly agree regarding Trackmania Turbo. The one lap races are hard enough, especially in the endgame, but the three lap races are brutal.
On a related note, I'm currently playing Session: Skate Sim, and it caught me by surprise with its precision-based difficulty.
Is the latter video game a title that's currently stashed away in your backlog?
I haven't heard of Session Skate Sim. I'll have to go give it a look
Not surprised there's a few racing games on this list. For us the time trials in Hot Wheels Unleashed we're crazy. We finished everything we could in the game and the last few time trials were just impossible that we had to give up!
I don't fault you! The games are made with racing nuts in mind. They forget that the majority of their audience is very casual 😅
21:20 my kids make me ruin dinner as well. They hoover about a foot around me out of my peripheral vision it drives me crazy.
My 2 year old starts pulling out all of the cutting boards and baking pans.... my 10 year old just encourages her 🤣
Myst is one of my absolute favorites. I got all the endings and all but two achievements in the Xbox port without any help.
I couldn't be bothered to find the hidden skeleton in the Mechanical Age and getting the best ending in 2 minutes is incredibly difficult with a controller.
I had no idea it even had an Xbox port!!! It's a great game, and one of my favorites from my childhood. But those puzzles are no joke for a 10 year old 🤣
A few games I really enjoy in this one!
Holy Diver I didn't have that much trouble beating. I got an original Famicom cart like 20 years ago for just a few dollars, and beat it pretty quickly. I never had that bad of a time with Castlevania games either, though; they just work for me I guess. That one was Irem, not Konami, though, right?
MYST was cool as well. I used to play it on Saturn all the time.
Velocity 2X I really liked on PS4. I finished it within about 2 days, though I think are 3-4 stages I still need to go back amd get the best rank on.
Fun stuff!
Thanks so much!!! It was IREM! I realized that right after the video got uploaded.
You're an incredible gamer! Holy Diver is no joke
@@RNGGamerYT I think it was just a game in my wheelhouse. Velocity 2X was like that, too.
You could probably do a whole episode on just Irem games. R-Type, X-Multiply, Image Fight, Metal Storm...
@bananonymouslastname5693 I could definitely do a video on IREM. But I still need to play some more of their stuff 😆
VVVVVVV was easy but very fun. Now, Shinobi for PS2?? *IMPOSSIBLE.*
I'm not sure that I would say VVVVVV was easy! But, I'm sure it pales in comparison to Shinobi 🤣
I was wondering when you'd make another of these 🎉🎉🎉
The time is now!
I know you've likely heard this before, but... that first game. I've got one question. 'Is Player made content, and PVP standings' considered part of the base game? What is 'winning' for that game.
To me, winning was just getting a medal on any track. But the game's trophies barely award you for that. So, obviously, they are pushing you to something greater
Have you over played Castelian on the NES? I've owned the games for decades and never completed level 1
I have it, and it's in my backlog to play. The art style of it looks so intriguing. Thanks for letting me know how hard it is, I'll try not to get too upset when I play it 🤣
I'm begging any hardcore gamer to complete Inferno Climber on stream
You have me scared... my viewers pick what I stream 🤣
As someone who is a part of the speed running community, "Holy Diver" has a reputation for being an absolute nightmare. If you can speed run that, you are living in God mode. I won't touch that game, evil. EVIL
It's no freaking joke! What games do you speedrun?
@@RNGGamerYT currently, "Jurassic park: The lost world" on playstation. I think the fastest I've seen someone do it is 31 minutes? The only problem with speed running is, you can't enjoy the game again. Everytime you play it, you'll just be racing through using all the tricks trying to get faster. "Castlevania 4" is the biggest offender for this =( in my opinion. "Contra 3" though, that speed run never gets old
@jake90052 I've heard others say the same thing about speed running. It's one of the reasons I've never done it. It does seem intriguing though
@@RNGGamerYT absolutely, you go from just enjoying a game to trying to outsmart the Devs. You lose that experience they worked hard on creating for you. It's like watching a movie and not focusing on story, just figuring out the special effects. So yeah, just enjoy the games and appreciate the experience =)
@@RNGGamerYT though finally I will say "Jurassic park: The lost world" is a fantastic speed run game, because the goal is to get out of the situation as fast as possible. That's a speed runner paradise
My friend had Myst back in the day for pc. You always have these friends of yours playing the most boring games ever for hours, days, months & years. I played this game for 5 min, then quit playing it cuz it was too hard & really long.
How many hours did you have to sit there and watch him play!?!
@@RNGGamerYT For the myst game it was probably 8-10 hours a day for like 2-3 weeks. I was working very little & no school at that time.
When I was a kid though growing up in the 90's. I used to spent whole summers at a friends house who lived a couple of houses down on the same street I am living now. He used to play Zelda & Sim City on the Snes & sometimes on his pc. This lasted maybe 2 summers & weekends of course when there was no school.
Then in 93-94 I was old enough to travel city buses & metro's. I would now go a 10km distance where my high school friends lived. So no longer friends with him cuz of the high school friends.
Now 0 problems with that cuz I play whatever I want on my own time single player games.
I liked both Toca 2 and Colin McRae rally by Codemasters, I was even pretty succesful at hardest difficulty there and was leading the championship so that I would have won it without getting any points on rest of the season... But. The game doesn't allow you to lose races and there was one track in both of the games that I just couldn't get through with decent time. After this the game just says that "ur so bad that your team fired you". Although I was basically the next champion. It was kinda tough, but also pretty unrealistic frankly.
I'm familiar with both games, but haven't played either one. That sounds pretty unforgiving with the whole getting fired thing 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT they let you try again, but you can't finnish the championship.
I played trials hd like crazy, but never got into trials fusion for some reason. it felt hard to begin with and physics were different I think. android has also one trials game with a story that's actually really nice. trials frontier or smthn.
@Tesnopesno the physics felt the same to me, but it had been years since I played HD. No way I'm going to play a mobile version of this 🤣
I've seen Trials Fusion at my game store for only a few bucks. Never paid attention to it. I think I'm grabbing it today lol.
Grab it!!! You'll have an unforgettable experience with it 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT I def will! I've added quite a few gems I would have never even paid attention to. I'm starting an Earths Dawn playthrough this weekend
@joeynolan304 have fun with it! It is the definition of a hidden gem
Oh just wait. If you found MYST confusing, Riven will drive you absolutely mad!
I played it! The stupid strategy guide had a typo in it that made the game unbeatable 🤣
Comparatively, these games make learning full songs on guitar a breeze (not that it's a breeze by any margin!) 😇😎
Haha... learning full songs on the guitar is a lot easier for me... I've been a professional guitarist for over 20 years 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT I'm getting there slowly but steadily, yet killer solos will always demand full-on crazy focus! 🤘
When you first started talking about myst I was expecting baba
Baba?
@@RNGGamerYT Baba is you, super hard puzzle game
@ajculum723 ah, yes! I have it on the Switch. It's in my backlog
iv lost plenty of controllers due to rage quitting lol 😆
I should start a support group for all of you guys. 🤣
I bet there are $10,000 worth of broken controllers mentioned in my comments section 😅
lol I have probably broke about 1000$ worth of controllers myself! I have a rage problem I think lol
@josephandujar-wj5xm I've never actually thrown one or broken one before... I'm probably too numb inside 🤣
Trackmania is hard but fun. There are many Trackmania games.
I knew there were at least a couple! You're right, it's fun.. but super hard 😅
Geting over it is so hard!
It literally looks impossible 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT it takes massive amounts of patience 🤣
@SuperRetroForce more than I have 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT same here🤣
I couldn’t beat a single castlevania game just like I couldn’t beat silver surfer last time I played it is when I was like I think 16
All of those games are super difficult! They'll put you in your place for sure
I know a few easy ones on the GBA if you want to try those.
@@Mr.scooter-le8yo yeah I want to know a few of them
@@RNGGamerYT that is true
Aria of sorrow is really good and relatively easy.
Harmony of dissonance is easier but not as good imo.
It was frustrating
I bet it was
Haha, you want a tough game? Take ANY point and click game from the 90s/early 2000s, play them for the first time without googling ANYTHING, and NO peeking at a guide. Often you will know WHAT you must do, but the challenge is figuring out HOW and in which specific order you must do it. Due to hardware limitations of course. And very often the solution is so weird and convoluted it makes your head spin. And the cherry on top? You'll always feel like the worlds biggest idiot when you figure it out. YES I'M LOOKING AT YOU BROKEN SWORD GOAT!
Oh.... I've been there. Trust me.
Never once have I played an old school point and click adventure game that didn't drive me up the wall with its esoteric nonsense 🤣
But what about?!.... well, you know...
Someone just quoted this, "Good games done quick said Holy Diver is what Battletoads wants to be when it grows up"
Thats why cheats is helping in crappy games
We all do what we have to do 🤣
Myst was made with Hypercard so you were not that far off. The sequel Riven is significantly harder.
I forgot about hypercard!!! Haha. I'm glad I was close 🤣
I had the strategy guide to Riven, and it had a typo on the next to last puzzle that made thr game unbeatable.... I've still never finished it 🤣
That last one doesn't sound that difficult to be honest. Maybe I have a female mind
You're probably just a lot smarter than me 🤣
R u ok?
I'm coping 🤣
I hate Myst!
Really!?! Why do you hate it so much?
0.2k subs in 18 days?
Bro fell off

It's hard down here in the youtube mines.... 🤣

Thanks for coming over and giving me a shot. I hope you enjoyed the content.
It's been a slow couple of months on youtube. I'm hoping it starts to pick up soon.

But your thumbnail is pretty weak
Try to watch some videos about Thumbnail & Color theory exponnentialy 👍
@Lifefacts07739 you're absolutely right about my thumbnail work. I need some serious help with them.
I've consulted with some other "experts" on about youtube and they both said, "well, your thumbnails seem to be working since you're growing very quickly for your niche." My CTR is usually pretty good... I think.
But I know they are weak. I really need a thumbnail designer
Were are The hard ones?
Uh huh....
If IGN thinks it's good, then it's probably quite bad.
They really can be all over the place!
