Is this the hardest game in the world or what?

Check this game out.

It's called I Wanna Be the Guy, and it's a throwback to old games such as those side-scrollers from the 8-bit NES days.

Here's the catch: it's brutally hard. It throws all kinds of screwballs at you and you die easily.

The video here / / is a good sampler, and you can hear how frustrated the guy gets playing it.

It's a good thing it's freeware, or you'd want to get your money back.

Give it a try, the official site is here:
IWBTG! A Very Hard Game About a Boy and 8-bit Masochism!

I tried playing it just now...OMFG, it's hard!

I was quite amused with the video. Not even gonna try it tho

If I ever need self-punishment for whatever reason, I might give this a download. Or dust off the old NES and pop in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That game was stupidly hard.
Here, the AVGN played through it too, and his reactions were similar to mine:

Sorry, there do not appear to be any videos with voiceovers that don't make me want to remove my eardrums with a corkscrew.

"Omi god! Itsa a pedobear!" had me laughing uncontrollably.

I don't think I could withstand such frustration. I can't even get past "Mario Forever", so I'll never be able to endure these games.

P.S.

At the 8 min. mark when the foreigner thought he outsmarted the two falling ceilings, but ultimately died, was perhaps the shining gem of the video. It was priceless.
