10 Video Games Nobody Has Beaten (Because It's Genuinely Impossible)
9. Great Gurianos - ZX Spectrum
Superstar video game programmers are few and far between but David Perry really made a name for himself in the early 90s. He put his hand to several classics like Earthworm Jim, Cool Spot and Disney's Aladdin for Mega Drive, formed Shiny Entertainment and was all around a charismatic individual.
However, his name is also attached to a game that is unfortunate enough to be featured in a list like this.
The infamous Taito released an arcade fighter called Gladiator and selected the small studio Elite Systems to craft a ZX Spectrum version for gamers at home in 1987. Now renamed to Great Gurianos to avoid copyright issues, Perry really struggled to reduce the size of the game down to the much smaller Spectrum cassette.
Desperate times called for desperate measures and Perry decided that the cuts would have to include the game's ending. In order to try and save face on this, he made the final boss of the title an invincible skeleton.
The programmer has called Great Gurianos the game he "hated the most" out of his roster. This is probably little solace to all ZX Spectrum fans who faced down the unscrupulous skeleton and inevitably lost.
