Rygar

90 %

1986 PlayStation

  • Challenging difficulty
  • Fantasy setting
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade platformer where the resurrected warrior Rygar fights through hordes of monsters with his Diskarmor to reach the demon Ligar. Fast, linear action with old-school 1980s difficulty.

Momodora

Challenging difficulty

The first, deliberately simple entry in the Momodora series: a short, punchy arcade-style 2D action platformer with pixel art. It is rough and unpolished but challenging.

Haunted Castle

Challenging difficulty

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Joust

Action-packed real-time combat

A 1982 arcade classic where you flap your way around as a knight on a flying ostrich, knocking rival buzzard riders out of the sky by striking from above. Simple but tricky flight mechanics make it a tense score-chaser, solo or with a friend.

Crystal Catacombs

Action-packed real-time combat

A retro 2D platformer blending Metroidvania-style exploration with roguelike procedural levels, varied weapons, spells and upgrades. It is demanding, and every run plays out differently.

Bearslayer

Challenging difficulty

A fast one-button arcade platformer starring Lāčplēsis, the hero of Latvian legend, demanding precision and quick reflexes. Expect to die a lot and retry constantly.

Sengoku 2

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic arcade beat 'em up in which a warrior from the future fights hordes of undead soldiers and a supernaturally empowered ruler in feudal Japan. Fast-paced brawling with a mystical Sengoku-era flavor.

Golden Axe

Action-packed real-time combat

A classic arcade beat 'em up where a barbarian, amazon or dwarf hacks through Death Adder's minions, rides strange beasts and unleashes screen-clearing magic. Best enjoyed in co-op.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Action-packed real-time combat

A side-scrolling spin-off of Mortal Kombat that blends brawling with platforming. You play Sub-Zero in a prequel to the first tournament, though clunky controls make it quite frustrating.

Dark Ages

Challenging difficulty

A classic side-scrolling DOS platformer from Apogee set in a medieval world, and the first shareware game to support AdLib sound. It offers three episodes of hazards and enemies and is now freeware.
