Shadow of the Beast was one of the most impossibly hard games to play of all time. But that sounds and music.

If you ever played that series, you know this music, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDO6__ya6B0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKHecxVDEts . I'm surprised they were only 37 seconds long, it often felt like it was minutes (maybe that was just the disk crunching loading the music).
A lot of games from that era on the Amiga were like that, great in the audio-visual department but with terrible gameplay.
The parallax scrolling was incredible for 1989. Nothing was quite like it.
And the intros. I spent more than me watching the intro sequences and listening to the music than playing the game. Got a bunch of remixes of it.
