Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts
This game hit the SNES in 1991, and while it was similar to it’s predecessors in the series – platforming and killing ghouls, this one also pulled the rug out from under you.
On top of endless enemies, there’s one feature of this game that make today’s gamers turn the console off and walk away – the ending. Once you get to the end and defeat the final boss, you’re sent back to the very beginning of the game, and had to do it all again to actually beat the story.
What a huge slap in the face after spending hours to get here. Oh, and that’s all in one sitting.
