The hardest game I ever played in my life so far, is Star Soldier on the NES, on that game you get 3 lives, and all of them are one hit deaths. Star Soldier on the NES is a shoot em up, with only rumours of 32 stages. each level requires you to defeat any entire stage of projectiles and 2 bosses. and if you don't defeat the 2nd boss within a strict time limit you repeat the same stage over only on a harder difficulty. once you are hit 3 times and die you must restart the entire game over without even a password feature.
And the AI on Star Soldier changes evey time you play it meaning the computer picks on your weakness making this game impossibe to beat. I never could make it past stage 2 out of 32 rumoured stages. no continues and you start from the begginning of each stage after a 1 hit death
how many of you think you could, or already took on Star Soldier from the NES library.
and by default you you don't have rapid fire leaving you needing super musstle thumbs not get fatigued pressing the A or B buttion constantly without a turbo controller. by pressing the bution constantly
Star Soldier is for extreme shoot em up fans. I actually like the game but It is not as fun as Capcom Classic Vol 2 on the PS2 where all games lets you choose lives and continues as infinite.
