just scored a gravitar and it is one tough game


easy one to pump a ton of quarters in back in the day I bet

damn
 
Haha I agree Gravitar is a bitch. I only have the 2600 port, but that's quite a pain. All those Gravity based games are pretty tough, but with everything going on in Gravitar that ups the game a bit. :)

I always found Ghosts 'n Globlins to be hard as hell, same with Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

Though Battletoads always comes up high on the list in conversations like this.

I have a dedicated Ghosts n Goblins in my basement and I can't get anywhere in the darn game.
 
Super Zaxxon. When I had one I had to set it for unlimited ships just so I could do any good at all. Ended up selling the dedicated upright for $175.00.

Super Cobra for me. I am terrible at it and and I am also terrible at Scramble. Something about them that my brain fails to grasp.
 
I need to play it a lot more, but I can't land a single ship on lunar lander. Just flat out kicks my ass.
 
Ghosts & Goblins is probably the hardest I've played.


I've got the twin galaxies record on this game. 875,300 though someone does have a higher score on a different site. I have beaten the game on one quarter before. It took me months to beat level 5 for the first time. Now I can do it most games.
 
I'll say gravitar too. Play it a bit and its so hard aiming and fighting the gravity.

Ghost and goblins is hard too but it's a different era. Games were trying to get you to continue over and over. Different kind of hard IMHO.
 
Robotron. I can get a lot farther in Ghosts and Goblins/ Ghouls and Ghosts than that game.
 
fucking operation wolf. Dare you to get past the second level.

The last level was hardest for me the one where you have to evacuate all the hostages to the plane,talk about sore elbows! defender always kicked my ass as well as robotron after just a few levels.

I think there is an easier version of the roms.

Gravitar is hard for most, but a friend of mine used to play it all the time at the theater where he worked as a kid. He destroyed the high score on mine.

for me the hardest games to play are stuff like congo bongo and zaxxon. I could never get the 3d elements of them and died quickly. Also cliffhanger is very hard.

hard ones for me...

I had a Gravitar many years ago. It get's easier with practice of course. Hard ones for me are Dragon's Lair and (believe it or not) Donkey Kong. I can't get the timing of the jumping down. I rarely get past the first level.
