I wanna be the guy.
Superman 64.
Where's Waldo.
Seriously, Waldo can hide shit.
Other than these, I'll need some time to think.

I was going to say I Wanna Be The Guy, but since Hubilub got here first, I'm going to say Battletoads...I played it with my brother when I was like, 9, and we didn't fare much better than people who'd been playing the game for years.
Nearly any fighter, on account of how the difficulty is largely set at how often the developers decided to allow the NPC to fail to block.
Most chess games, on account of how you're usually playing against several chess masters they've coded the strategies into.
Bullet hell games that are fully deserving of the genre title.
I'm not sure I Wanna Be The Guy qualifies as "hard" so much as "cheap." I betcha we've had that conversation a dozen or so times here already.
Most of the rest are no doubt heavily repressed memories of pain in the back of my mind. As far as game design is concerned, it's not hard to make a hard game, you just set the bar higher than you can expect the average player's capabilities to be. It's much harder to make an enjoyably hard game, and more rewarding.

NetHack is up there for me. I really like how much stuff they managed to include and anticipate in it that you might try doing, but every time I try playing it, it only takes a couple hours before I feel like throwing a brick through my monitor when I inevitably screw up and have to start over.
Viewtiful Joe
Kid Icarus (yea, I know I was ninja'd)
Most NES games, since their controls were too damned stiff to deal with tons of action

Ninja Gaidian
System Shock
The First Prince of Persia (the side scrolly one)
and for me any RTS's

Bayonetta, especially on hard and above difficulty. On Hard, I couldn't get past the first stage. This game doesn't mess around.
oh... my... gosh.Brombaq said:
never mind a rom hack made by Hitler. this is a compilation produced from Kain, Satan, the guy(s) who made 'I wanna be the guy' and Angry German Kid (he tested the rom)
this is the perfect trolling device
