I finally managed to beat Gargoyle's Quest: Ghosts 'n Goblins. This game was the bane of my childhood. Clearly I'm exaggerating It's a challenging game for sure, although looking at it now not nearly as hard as I recall. There are only two instances where I felt it's hard in a cheap kind of way. The final boss is disappointingly easy, the only tricky thing about him is hitting his weak spot. Overall a damn fine game. The kid in me is so happy and proud right now

Any games that kicked your ass?
