The hardest game you've ever played

[KiKiweaky]

most of the games on my phone as the key pads ridiculously small

 

[new_age_reject]

Most NES games.
No console has seen a higher concentration at ball bustingly difficult games.

 

[Valiance]

Here's a clever game idea that gets trickier as you go along. Probably not the hardest game I've played, but there is point where I either go "I don't have the dedication for this" or "This is just stupid" and Cursor*10 [http://www.nekogames.jp/mt/2008/01/cursor10.html] is in the first category.

Level 15 took me a while, but I beat it.

Impossible Mission on the Commodore 64. It lived up to its title in spades!

Seconding IMpossible Mission. They made a remake for DS too, and it's apaprently just as hard.

IWTBTG is friggin insanely difficult, trying to beat it but it's just nuts.

Bangai-O on Dreamcast. Ungodly.

"You Have To Burn The Rope." Fuck that game. Six weeks straight I've played, 18 hours a day.
Can't fucking finish it.

What is this game you speak of? o:

Here, but I warn you, it's mind numbingly fustrating. I can't even get past the bit in the corridor where you have to jump.

I really hope your being sarcastic.
That was unbelievably easy.

Enchanted Arms... each random encounter was strong enough to force you to use up all of your items what a pain

 

[the monopoly guy]

SMOD Tactical on impossible.
99.99% of the enemy's shots are headshots, and headshots are insta-kills. There's difficulty, and then there's the fuck you button.

umm really its not that hard all you do is jump up

(you are talking about that game right because i would feel sooo silly if a ctually went on another game without realising......good song at the end though)

EDIT: i now realise that you guys are probably being sarcastic

Blast Factor, especially on 2xAT mode

The hardest was a game called "Alaapoita". Wikipedia it.

You actually got a small electric shock if you died during it. The problem being you died after every 5 seconds of battle. Only true gamers know about this game.

N+ for me. I don't have the patience for it at all.

Ninja Gaiden II takes the cake. The Xbox's original Ninja Gaiden was difficult, but it was mainly a fair game and I eventually became exceptional at playing it, thus rendering it merely challenging, but Ninja Gaiden II is so amazingly filled with bad design choices and ridiculously cheap enemies that it made me rip my own hair out. That is fucking frustrating.

 

[Sirtwitchy]

Moratl Kombat 2&3, those games are soooooooooo frustrating I honestly can't get past the second battle in an arcade ladder!

 

[bjj hero]

I cant believe people are mentioning current or last gen titles, games are no where near as hard as they used to be (with the exception of the odd japanese scrolling shooter)

Check points and save files mean any body with two thumbs and enough time can finish them. EVEN ninja gaiden.

You wouldnt believe the hours I had to put into games like thunder force 4 and contra in order to get the completion.

I dont for a second think I could beat either of them now, being hardcore is for the young.

The guy who mentioned gouls and ghosts was spot on, that was a mother...

Made it to "how fast can you go". Don't think I have the years needed to master that level.

Also I would like to mention Ikari Warriors, I had this on the Atari 520 ST. It just kept going and going and going.

Oh and Bubble Bobble made it to level 65 of 100.

 

[Isalan]

pretty much any of the old hardcore r-types before you had lives and continues

 

[ultimatechance]

i wanna be the guy, or is that too unfair of a choice?
