Most Insanely Difficult Game you've ever played

Nethack.

No-one seems to win this obscure little game called the 'search box'

Took longer than I thought for that game to show up.

Shinobi on the PS2 frustrates me to no end with it diffculty.

 

[CloudyObsession]

Two words:

Kid Icarus

Fail, IWBTG isn't really hard.

Just do it over and over again, it's all about trial and error. Nothing that requires skills or such.

I'll easily vote for Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2. Come on, a boss that explodes and kills you?!

Tell me, how far into the game did you get? Did you actually beat the last boss? (or indeed various of the other bosses)

farcry, seriulsy

Battletoads is the hardest I can remember.

On a more modern note, I will go with God Hand. Even on easy that game was brutal.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

F-Zero GX's story mode makes me cry.

It's pretty hard, too.

And just about everything on the thrid dificulty.

The original Megaman was a ***** to beat the first time round, but I'm not saying anything until I give Mushihimesama Futari a few rounds. That game looks fucking brutal.

 

[Sir_Montague]

I just lost motivation with Ninja Gaiden 1... It was ridiculous for a little while... I'm sure if I would've persevered it could've been ok... But alas, I didn't care enough.

 

[YukoValis]

for the NES, Adventure Island!
Awesome game and I dare you to find someone who beat it without cheat codes. Now that's a hard game, much better then the easy stuff now.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey.

Wow that one was a toughie.

 

[Vor@Tan]

Legend of Spyro: Eternal Night
....*waiting for everyone to stop laughing* ...no seriously! here i am, able to get through entire levels of DMC3 without so much as being sneezed at and i die hundreds of times in EN!?? what is wrong with me!!!??? ;D
also, the OddWorld games (perfect for making you really frustrated, you'll slam your head through the TV screen just to make it stop )

 

[lordofthepickle]

playing deus ex for the first time ever with a friend constantly laughing as the NSF turn you into a legless armless anti terror agent

 

[I III II X4]

F-Zero GX's story mode makes me cry.

It's pretty hard, too.

I love their version of Rainbow Road...maybe I should call it Painbow Road instead.

 

[Zombie Badger]

Far Cry 1. This led me to declaring it crap.
