Hahah, yeah Top Gun was tough. I was young when I played it though, I had a hell of a time landing on that carrier. But my vote does go to TMNT, man, that was a tough game for a kid.

Battletoads was very hard. I could barely ever get past the 3rd level w/ the hovercrafts. You had to have the thing memorized and have almost perfect timing. I always played it with my brother and it was nearly impossible to get through that race with 2 people.

already mentioned:
Ninja Gaiden
TMNT 1
Blaster Master
G&G

are all difficult

but ikari warriors 2 was the worst for me. I couldn't even get to the third level.

Battle Toads was awesome. A friend of mine and I could each beat it single player (no warping), but we could never do it two player where both of us survived to the end. There was a glich on the second to last board where the second bike didn't move, so player 2 to had to use a continue to get to the last stage. Extra cheap.

Hell yeah. That game was damn near impossible.

THe original contra, without the 30 man code is pretty damn challenging too. castelevania 3 as well.

Hell, even the original metroid was pretty dman impossible without some sort of guidebook.

NES games are still porbably the hardest out there.

I've beaten blaster master with a LOT of practice. Loved that game.

TMNT one was doable. Ninja Gaiden - I've gotten very close.

I've beaten the original G&G.

The original metal gear was quite a challenge, don't think I ever beat it.

Although a game not even worth mentioning, who framed roger rabbit was IMPOSSIBLE.

Golgo 13, first game where you get all your health back by banging a chick.


my vote goes to Battletoads, whoever created that one was sick; that or they don't understand what playability is.

Mike Tyson's Punch Out was a piece of cake after awhile.
Top Gun was hard, but I beat it.

Ghosts n' Goblins, FREAKIN' RIDICULOUS! I beat it though, but I almost broke my NES when I got to the princess the first time and the game told me I had to do it all over again! :|

Contra: without the cheat it's almost impossible. the only reason I could do it with 3 lives is because I was obsessed with that game as a kid and my friend and I played it all the time. Ahh, the good ol' days

Ninja Gaiden: Never beat it. I think the third was the easiest, but even that was hard as hell.

I don't recall ever successfully landing when I was a kid. :(

I tried it on an emulator recently and did it though.
