Ultra Torque

Ultra Torque (ウルトラトルク) is a platformer video game developed by Forcefield and released in 1987 for the Famicom DIsk System in Japan and a year later in 1988 for the Family Computer. The game is a parody of the Japanese tokusatsu film genre and features very comical gameplay elements that directly reference certain tokusatsu films. The game is well-known for it's extreme difficulty that has been compared to being one of the hardest video games on the Family Computer, and has been the main reason why Ultra Torque was never released in North America and Europe. A significantly easier version was released in 1988, titled Ultra Torque Deluxe, which improved the game's difficulty and made it much easier to play.

A spin-off title was released in 1994 for the Super Famicom in Japan, titled Ultra Ultra Cyclone, and revolved around Ultra Torque destroying a large gang that has taken over Osaka, Japan. This game was also never released due to low sales and translation issues.
