In my first vid of this series I picked out 15 of the hardest TG-16 card games ever in my opinion, which I'm sure is open to debate:
The camera is better.
Everyone has different strengths/weaknesses, but I was surprised to see Super Star Soldier as more challenging than Raiden! Especially given your skills with Raiden.
Raiden and R-Type are definitely challenging for me, though. With Sinistron, I actually choke more often on the early ASTEROID STAGE more than the last stage (where the enemies are much quicker). I think it is a mental hang-up, but I do not consistently pass the asteroid stage.
I've never gotten far with Night Creatures.
Impossamole, Hero Tonma, Victory Run, etc. aren't too bad, but these lists are subjective so...
Anyway, the real reason I'm posting: TIMEBALL IS A GREAT GAME. GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE. DON'T abandon it.
For real.
