Commander Keen 4.
It was my favourite game when I was a kid, but it was hard, indeed. I should beat that some day.

Diddy Kong Racing. I've had it for about 11 years now, and I still haven't beaten it. I am currently going back and beating it as I speak, but I've yet to do so. Nor did I ever beat Kirby: The Crystal Shards.
Come to think of it, there's not many games that I HAVE beaten. If you take out the ones that I beat with a guide or cheats, then I've only beaten Viewtiful Joe 2, Tony Hawk's Underground 1, 2, and Wasteland, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Mario Galaxy, each Smash Bros, and Metroid Fusion. As a gamer for 11 years, this is a staggeringly low completion rate.

Devil May Cry 3 DMD Mode. All bosses tuned to super-cheapness mode and so little health (relatively speaking)
Shogun Total War, not only was it my first strategy game but the concept of leading more then one little dude was mind-numbingly awesome.
Side note: I beat it last night in an epic 8 hour session.

Tonic Trouble for the N64. Last I remember doing with that was swimming in some giant ice bowl or something.
God I loved that game.

The Getaway. I was really good at games even as a child, but The Getaway was always a thorn in my side. A really big one that was really annoying.
Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire.
I made it to the third challenge, building a flying machine and flying somewhere with it (I forgot where), I must've been 13 or so when I played it first. Well, guess what? A few years ago, I reinstalled the game on my Win XP machine and I did it! I played happily all the way from beginning to end just to find out that the video uses a video compression that XP doesn't even know any more. I could do without those two rendered videos but FUCK the second one is played right before the end boss, and the game always crashed at that point.
There IS a patch for this (fan-made, I think), but as I own the localized version and not the original English one... it didn't work for me. Made me fucking download the English version and continue my savegame on that to finally beat this. So it took me almost a decade to beat that. Worth it, imho.

Paper mario and the thousand year door which i bought again and beat the hell out of it then theres Sonic Adventure Battles 2 which i bought again recently but am highly unmotivated to play
Rugrats: Time Travelers for the GBC. I got that game when I was like seven, and I STILL can't beat the first level. You're in a mine, trying to find a coin, and then go to an unspecified area. The thing is, it's like a giant maze, and doesn't tell you AT ALL where to go. Oh, and there's a time limit. And enemies, which knock you back, and take the coins (not the big coin, there are smaller coins as well) you've collected, and you have no way to fight back. And there's no minimap, to add insult to injury.
That game was made for kids? Really?
