holy shiat, i remember TMNT was such a hard game! I don't even know how one could beat the damn thing.

[Ketchup345]

Of what I've played, the 5th or so dungeon of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was inpossible to find my way around to unlock like the second half. Butr then I was only like 8-10 at the time.

I don't think Battletoads was too hard.

And tough game, hmmm... the Gauntlet in Baulder's Gate: Dark Alliance is pretty tough.

Or Diablo 2's Hardcore mode in Hell difficulty with a computor that doesn't even meet the minimum suggested requirements and is running a poor dial-up connection.

I didnt consider any of those games particularly hard. Platformers and schmups are an excercise in meory, and remembering enemy attack patterns. If someone is going to nominate a game, remember that there are different skill levels for some games, so it may be best to just assign a value given whatever "normal" skill is. Then we of course, have games that can't be beaten, like Space Invaders, Missile Command, and the like. Are those candidates? Cause they will inevitably beat the snot out of any endable game. Too many factors for me to decide.

Fire Emblem-> hard mode-> without letting anyone die.

[Evil_Althena8]

Breath of Fire was also an insanely hard game, because most of the time it didn't tell you what the hell you were supposed to do next.

Woah, I thought that game was the easiest I've ever played. My brother and I beat it in literally less than two days, which is saying something, because I am usually ridiculously incompetant at video games. Eh, I've played a lot of games that gave me trouble, but I attribute that to a severe lack of skill on my part.

Ya i agree the gauntlet was a pain but i am pleased to say that i beat the gauntlet before my 10th try, and there have been many hard games, *maybe the hardest wre the NES games? *is it just me? or are game gettin easier?* but i would have to say, Castlevania 2: Simons quest was a pain to beat. and it is because of the castlevania series that more ppl commited sucide that year because they couldn't jump off the stairs is CV, *i got my info from... a friendly CV site... anyway thats all i have to say right now! later all!

Ikaruga. Easy to learn, but hard to master.

And Hard mode is a bitch too.

There's a thin border between really hard games and poorly created games.
