Screenshot of the title screen for Holy Diver for the Famicom. It features the title in blue text with ye olde style font (I don't know what that style of text is actually called), a big orange and brown circle that looks like an emblem of some kind with a C in the middle, and the playable character at the bottom with their white caped outfit.
Screenshot of the player breaking some blocks while making their way through a level with gray block tiles and a background of blue bricks and tall stained glass windows.
Screenshot of the player falling to an area below. To the left is a series of bricks and a couple tall windows, like the outside of a building, and to the right is what looks like a tree trunk with flat branches sticking out for climbing.
Screenshot of the player going up against a boss that looks like a tumor with a face, embedded in the cavern wall on the right side of the room.
#FamicomFriday again! Is there an NES/Famicom game on your bucket list that you hope to beat someday?
I had a few of these and have beaten them, but the one that I still haven't defeated is Holy Diver. And holy crap... I haven't played it in earnest yet but I can tell it's going to be painful.
