Playing against the ChessMaster guy. I don't think I will ever beat him either.

lol

anyhow, i heard that Strider for the PS2 was quite hard.
 
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X; It's not like it THAT hard, it just that the controls drive me crazy!!! And you fire so slowly that the zombies are on you before you get the chance to hit them!
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty; Sneaking around without cheats is very hard . . .
Devil May Cry; Great Controls, Great Action, Hard boss battles!
 
Definitely Super Ghouls n' Ghosts...it still brings back horrible memories. *shudder*

One game I enjoyed even though I found it incredibly difficult was Lufia 2 (an RPG for SNES). The combat, quests, and bosses were all fairly easy...what really drove me crazy were these difficult puzzles that you had to solve to advance. Some of those were *really* tough. Plus the game was long as hell to even finish once...then factor in that to truly beat it you had to replay the entire thing from start-to-finish TWICE and then enter the so-called Ancient Cave, a "bonus" 99-level dungeon. Ugh...that was definitely a game that tested my endurance. I salute anyone who had the willpower to even complete the full Lufia 2 marathon, much less the intellect to solve its puzzles without a walkthrough.

Oh man, I remember at my grandmas house the NES that was the only game we had (and mario brothers.) I eventually passed it in a year (playing hours every weekend) simply because I had memorized every level and knew the exact timing of when the enemies would come out.
 
The original "Bard's Tale" for commodore 64. If you're not using the cheats and the clue book, it was soo hard!
 
Castelvania on the NES was very hard.

There were some NES games that were so hard they weren't even fun.

Speaking of NES. Anyone remember a NES game called Commando? HAs anyone ever found the binoculars on that game? I swear they weren't in the game.
 
Jurassic Park for SNES...took me at least 5 hours to beat b/c you can't save anywhere and the dungeons have no maps...had to make my own freakin' maps. POS...gayest ending ever as well.
 
ghouls and ghosts is no where near it. the most difficult video game ever was deadly towers. by far.
 
Contra for PS2 is impossiable about 1000000x harder the teh origional. i can beat that one eaisily.
Super Gouls N ghosts was hard as sh!t
Battletoads
indy 500 on my TI - 83 - impossiable to get ast liek 800

Dirty Harry for the NES has to be one of the hardest games I've ever played. I was young like 7 or 8 but I remember it being impossible to get by the second level.

I think I may have reached the same point you were. That game you litterally had to memorize where those guys and shots are coming from each moment.
 
TMNT for the NEs and Ghostbusters on the Sega Master System. I swore for the longest time it was unbeatable. But I did finish it one day finally. Gozer was frickin hard!

I'd vote for Back to the Future (NES) - the only NES game to date I own that I haven't beat :| I swear that game is impossible

I thought that Zelda 2 on Nintendo was definitly hard, at the end where you have to fight the shadow of link. My friend kept dying and dying, he would scream at the game, "it's cheating it's cheating he went to tears and ended up smashing the nintendo."

The funniest thing I have ever seen.

There was a Risk version for the Amiga which has the option of cheating, namely taking over a country (+ armies in it) of an enemy.

My brother and me once were playing against the computer and had pretty much trashed eachother first, so we ended up with only a few countries ourselves, and the computer the rest. We had decided to beat the computer together. I had stocked up on armies, and pulled it all back to one country for a final assault. I was sitting there with one country left, and 60+ armies, right next to my brother's countries. It became the computers turn, and suddenly my one last country switched color, and the computer attacked my brother with 60+ armies. We stared at the screen dumbfounded, and then I burst out laughing.

Never expected the computer to cheat at Risk that way, especially not by taking someone's last country 🙂
