Deuteros, took me, my cousin and my uncle more than 6 months of near constant playing and thats because at first we didnt find out about the matter transporter until much, much later in 1 of those "ooooooooooh how did we miss that" type moments.

Blood Money I would say. BitD, after many many many tries, I only completed it with the help of a trainer. Never touched it again after that.

Toki is very hard. I made it once to level 2 without a trainer.

the level difficulty of certain game depends of the player and his talent
some player do not have talent for plarform games but have talent for strategy games . rpg,or graphic adventures and so on

for example Toki which TCD consider it hard, is an easy game for me,I can end this game in the original arcade or in the Amiga loosing only 2 or 3 lives
but because I'm a expert in platform games and I earned to play Toki in the original arcade machine

another example is ghost n goblins which is an easy game for me , but most player consider it hard or very hard

*****

in the case of project x yes I consider a bit hard, that's why team 17 done the remake proyect X SE which is easier,
but proyect x is easy compared to other hard shooters as Oath or Rtype or Katakis or Z-out

^ Stryx ?, no

I would say that Gold of the Aztecs is a hard game until you get used to it. Same for Barbarian.

Did not knew Gold if the Aztecs, seems a nice artwork (albeit 16 colors, maybe another ST port) but that final picture bottom left in the gallery is sus

I never thought Toki wasn't bad, I assumed TCD was joking. I always thought Jim Power was quite hard but I might be the only one.

Would this be the time to say that Katakis and R-Type aren't hard. Because they aren't.
