The hardest PC game

[MadGypsy]

well this is maybe not what was meant by "hard" but imma say dragons lair. Imma say Dragon's Lair because i was just playing it and I can't even get past the second screen. For anyone that is not familiar with this game you do not control your character (in the standard sense). You press one of the arrow keys or sword key ONCE and hope that you pressed the right one. There is no real indication as to which key you have to press and generally the key that is expected does not make a whole lot of sense. Timing is also a factor and it is not all that sensical either. If you press a wrong key, you die. If you double press a key you die. if you die 3 times you have to start over entirely. The expected key does not change so beating the game really comes down to memorizing key presses and some timing.

With as crappy as all of that sounds, if you get the arcade version it is a really well drawn cartoon and your key presses basically advance you past a trap to the next "scene". The theme is you are Dirk the Daring (a knight) that makes his way through a trap filled castle to rescue the princess Daphne



If you get the dosbox version it is all the same except the color palette is a mess and every time you press a key it makes a damn beep sound (like a system beep) - incredibly annoying

Try The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Battlespire

Battlespire.rar | Game Front

It's an RPG more in the spirit of Diablo 1/Dungeon master in that you go through a series of dungeons with your character, as opposed to open world

Insanely difficult - and in coop there's no dialogue so everything becomes hostile. Makes it even HARDER

Simply put, there are no cheats for this game - and difficulty for you at first can depend on your chose character class. It can be anywhere from holy shit I'm gonna die (multiple times) to holy fuck I'm getting raped in the ass so hard I can feel it coming out the front side

It even has riddles that you have to type in the answer to solve - if you don't look them up then good luck.

try galacta: the battle for saturn. that game is insanely hard too.
its a top-view scrolling invaders-like game for DOS
Download GALACTA: THE BATTLE FOR SATURN ABANDONWARE

no difficulty settings, no saving, no cheats, you die from a single hit, and insanely hard waves when you get further, some which are just pretty much impossible and more luck then skill if you manage to complete them. and you have to complete the entire game in one go cuz you cant save

ive had this game since i was a kid, and ive played it a million times, and i still havent managed to play it out, cuz of the insane difficulty once you get further and the lack of being able to save in any way.

furthest i got myself was something like... wave 20 or so, when you get weird boat-like shaped enemies which shoot non-stop at you and keep teleporting constantly which makes them pretty much impossible to kill and makes it near impossible to not get hit cuz of the huge spray of lasers you get fired at you

if you can play it out ill give you 100bucks
im so confident no-one can actually play it out that i feel safe to say that
