The Adventures of Batman and Robin for Sega Genesis. So ridiculously hard. The furthest I've ever gotten was the level after you beat the Joker in the hot air balloon. I haven't played this in years.

Dennis the Menace for SNES was really tough for me as a kid. Never could beat it. I didn't really like it anyway :x

And the original Ninja Turtles game on NES. Now that was HARD lol

I've never beaten Battletoads, A boy and his Blob, or Bartman meets Radioactive Man without cheating.

They are tough games, all on the NES

When I was a kid it was Blaster Master, because of that ******* crab boss.
A few years later I got Glover. Glover is friggin ridiculous.

LAMO, I got two of those game's you just said, and I agree they are hard, I had help back then because I couldn't beat those games. I can now, but back then they seem impossible.

As for me, I'll still say Blue Dragon, any game that takes you beyond 80 hours of game play is bound to be extreamley tough. >.<

The Western side of Pop Star.
Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2 can get ridiculously hard on higher difficulties.

However, one Clover game that trumps them both is God Hand. A game that is so tough, that even mooks can cream you.

Yes, it's that tough. You eventually get used to it, though.

Right here, not quite now
Oh, and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. The later stages are totally unforgiving, and the Lost World extra stages are completly brutal.
Those levels go on FOR EVER!

Hardes game I ever played? I struggled a lot back in the 90s when I played a lot of adventure games and my English skills... well, didn't exist. I knew about walkthroughs and how to find them, but I simpy had to click everywhere in order to finish the games.

As for fighting games, Fate Unlimited/Codes is really crazy and hard to master. It's considered by the Japanese to be the hardest fighting game out there. Timing combos are so freaking hard. The timing and execution needed is arguably more difficult than those in Guilty Gear.

LOL @ whoever linked EoSD extra. Touhou extra stages tend to be a bit harder than the normal difficulty game, and there are two levels of difficulty higher (hard and lunatic)

Subterranean Animism on Lunatic is nuts.

Shadow of the beast, on the Atari, not the easy SNES version, unless you crank the difficulty up to max.


Also most of you guys are pansy's any game released in the last 5 years with the possible exception of touhou on lunatic and ninja gaiden on highest, is easy, or not that bad even on the highest difficulty.

This contest is impossible though there are so many impossibly hard 2d games out there, such as I wanna be the guy, and other stuff, that makes this impossible out of the 3D games Im going with ninja gaiden on highest.

The hardest 3D game, huh?

Zack and Wiki is unplayable without the hints.

I'm not convinced Madworld is beatable on it's "hard" difficulty.

Has anyone ever beat the Legendary Halo Campaigns solo without cheating?

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
oh snap, are you guys talking about x-men, mutant apocalypse or something like that? where storm's level was underwater (I think I'm getting this part mixed up with some spider man/x-men crossover come to think of it) and beast could walk on ceilings and ****, and there was pysloch, wolverine, gambit and cyclops too? game was mad tough, but I'd still say it's a good step below battletoads, more along the same lines as mega man 3 for difficulty I'd say.

Hoshigami for PS1. I guess it becomes enjoyable if you like the game over screen.

Just off the top of my head:

Ikaruga

Basically any of the Ninja Gaiden games, especially impossible on higher difficulty levels.

Final Fantasy III on the DS is really difficult. I can't get anywhere in that game without dying. Maybe I haven't found where to go, but it's pretty vague from the getgo.

It's not only that lol. They killed Renning and other useless units. Though they did kill Giffca. It's the **** spirits. They hit real hard and heal the Ashera's auras.

Right here. All of them except for the Ark (?) level. I haven't played campaign in months, but I know there is one I still can't beat by myself.

The level with the sh**load of Flood was the worst level by far.

Kirby's Dreamland. Hardest game EVAR XD

Seriously though, Earthworm Jim, and Metal Slug. both very hard games. Warcraft III
In Hard Mode is also a b***h.

And, although its slightly off topic, Has anyone noticed how the last boss in PIKMIN is actually hard, despite the rest of the game being incredibly easy?
