What are you playing?

[tykel]

Kid Icarus (NES). Ughhhh.

Why the "ugh"? Is it that hard?

It is.

It really is.


Though it's because of the imprecise jumping over gaps, overly-priced items right at the start and having to backtrack the entire dungeon if you were unlucky enough to face against an Eggplaint Wizard.

It's a good game though, I've enjoyed it despite all this.

That's spot on. I barely managed to finish the first level (never mind the first world) because you have to be very, very careful to get the jump just right and avoid getting hit by enemies. It would be easier using save states as the levels tend to be quite long, but I don't want to.

That description makes sense.
It reminds me of an episode of GameCenter CX where Arino struggles with some RPG, where you play as a family (?), funnily enough.
