GnG was seen as bullshit-hard even when it came out.

MODERATORS
I honestly think that gng is one of the most punishing games ever created. The fact that you complete it (took me till adulthood with cheats) that it turns around and tell you to do it again to actually win, is one of the most evil things that the game could have done.
"My child, git gud."
That would be too much for her little self to handle
Play Minetest instead. Open Source Minecraft.
Minetest rocks, but don't compare Minecraft with it until you run mineclone2 (a Minecraft clone built on minetest)
Does it run on smartphone tho?
F-DROID MENTIONED, I REPEAT, F-DROID MENTIONED
F-Droid is a fantastic app store. You'll find a lot of really cool software there, most of which can't be found on the regular Play Store, such as NewPipe (which allows you to do all the things a YouTube Premium subscription does for free), AuroraStore (an alternative client for the Play Store that doesn't require a Google account) and AAAAXY (a rather intriguing non-euclidean puzzle platformer). Best part is, every app on F-Droid is free and open source and none contain ads. Side note, consider supporting developers.
I need to be thankful that those bar games were hard from the beginning and had me killed within seconds whenever I tried them, so I never got addicted to them. If those games had used modern user-retention tactics back then I would've spent a ton of coins in my life.
Totally not me who just started NES The Legend of Zelda recently, haha, haha…
If you want to have a great time completing the first Zelda, try playing it with Hand Drawn Gameguides.
It's written like a kind of journal with a lot of artwork and hints that don't immediately spoil the experience but give you enough guiding to find the rest yourself.
Ah yes the original dark souls. ~~That game requires the manual as a way to prevent piracy so read up.~~
I can't think of a part of Zelda that required the manual. Are you thinking of StarTropics, perhaps?
Maybe, it's been a long time. I thought the walls that can be bombed were in the manual?
It's been a looooong time, but I remember the manual saying that they were a thing that exists, but not telling you where they are.
EDIT: Found the manual online. Turns out it doesn't even tell you that much. It does tell you how to find the first two dungeons, but you can figure that out yourself without the manual. Also, I forgot one of the dungeons was shaped like a swastika, which, I know that has different connotations in Eastern cultures and Nintendo wasn't really entirely conversant with Western cultures at this point, but hoo boy.
Oh that's really cool
Ghouls n' Ghosts on the sega genesis was my favorite game as a kid
Do you also like Dark Souls games too?
Oh big time, I was playing DSR last night
I love the various GnG games as well! But, Dark Souls is extremely frustrating to me.
In fairness that game is designed to hate you
Dude, ghosts and goblins and super ghosts and ghouls are just torture devices
Her boss surely is a wicked guy isn’t it
First it was bungee jumping incident, now she were forced to play this video game embodiment of hell for the company marketing purposes
Poor girl just wants to get through her day and make some pocket money in the process…
