DESCRIPTION

There has never been a definitive answer to what the hardest video game of all time is, until now, that is. Experience a thorough and encompassing journey of challenge in gaming from the genre's infancy in the arcades, the burgeoning home console and computing scene, and through to today's current releases. Spanning four decades, from the early 1980s to the 2020s, get ready for all the history behind tough games, analysis of what makes them so renowned, and learn how to defeat them once and for all.Featuring high-quality original imagery, primary reporting, and exclusive interviews, the Hardest Video Games Ever Made is far more than just a recounting of distinct games of the past. You'll read up on why these design decisions were made straight from the source, whether they were games that originated in the arcades (designed to take as much money as possible), or were trying to be rented from the video store as often as you could afford them. You'll get to see how the ethos of game design has evolved with modern sensibilities as console and computer gaming became more sophisticated and the industry became bigger than ever.It challenges the idea of video game difficulty, the infamous status around some older games, and reevaluates newer releases with the hindsight of everything that came before to deliver a verdict and settle the debate once and for all. Are you ready to get started?
