The hardest video game in existance.

[Rankor]

Battletoads was tough...never passed it especially the jet ski stage.

TMNT, Guardian Legend, Blaster Master, Ninja Gaiden 3...pretty tough

To be exact, that music is from Dr Wily's Castle. 8Bit music kicks ass...

OT again, anyone use WinAmp? They have a plugin called Chipamp that allows you to play 8-bit and 16-bit music through winamp.

From that being mentioned on this thread ive went and got an MP3 of the faster version of that song here, then read the whole storyline for megaman as its quite interesting and now i plan to play all the megaman games.

Amazing how some things start.... im now a megaman fan lol.

For me it has been either Battletoads or Gradius III.

Pretty sure I've played TNMT for NES before but I don't remember the game, besides seeing people say it is quite hard.

I've beaten it like that once many years ago, although it took a lot of patience and reloading. I don't think I ever got through Mercenary on insane though.

I have beaten some tough games including Ninja Gaidens, TMNT, and Double Dragon III but Battletoads takes the cake. That jet bike level is unbelievable.

serious question: could you beat Duck Hunt? i never made it past a level and some form of congratulatory screen appeared.

 

[imported_Uber]

How about Ghouls and Ghosts? I can't make it past the first screen of that.

I'm not sure, but I just read this in a GameFAQs guide and I had to post it:

------- VARIATIONS ----------

1. The Duck Hunt Drinking Game
2. Gang Wars
3. Pin the Tail on the Duck
4. Russian Roulette
5. Secret Agent Man
6. Sniper
7. Trench Warfare

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The Duck Hunt Drinking Game
------------------------------
Gather all your friends around the TV and take turns shooting. Every time
somebody misses, everybody takes a drink of their alcoholic beverage of
choice. This has a nice, exponential effect, since the more you drink, the
more likely you are to miss. For the record, I don't encourage this unless
you've reached the legal drinking age of whatever country you happen to live
in.


2. Gang Wars
------------
Get a plastic car, skateboard, or anything else with wheels that you can sit
in or on. Then convince a sibling to push you past the television every round
so you can pretend you're involved in a drive-by shooting.


3. Pin the Tail on the Duck
---------------------------
Close your eyes, spin around ten times, and leave them closed as you try to
shoot the duck. If you're drunk and/or dizzy enough, you can probably do this
with your eyes open and still hit the same number of ducks.


4. Russian Roulette
-------------------
Get six Zappers, knot their cords together, and plug one of them in. Toss the
whole bundle onto the ground, pick one up, and try to shoot a duck with it.
Mix them up and pick a new Zapper after each duck. If you don't have six
Zappers, you can play a game with much better odds with only two or three.


5. Secret Agent Man
-------------------
The entire time you play, dodge bullets by jumping around, ducking, weaving,
rolling, and hiding behind furniture. Finish off the round by sipping a
martini and making a smooth getaway in your fully loaded Cozy Coop.


6. Sniper
---------
Stand as far away from the screen as your cord will allow, perched on a piece
of furniture. Wear all black, right down to the gloves, and sit quietly until
the duck comes out. Mute the television to silence your shot.


7. Trench Warfare
-----------------
Crouch behind your coffee table and only come up when you hear the ducks
coming out of their hiding place (that being the grass). Wear a bicycle
helmet and tape a butterknife bayonet onto the end of your Zapper for added
effect.

Yep, I think at most, I might have beat that level once or twice.

Yeah, I tried Mercenary on insane but it was physically exhausting as the robots took a colossal amount of hits before going down.

impossible

btw, the tunes are really catchy

 

[Dumac]

The first game doesn't look that difficult. It seems to be more of just a matter of memorizing what happens, as all the difficulties are simply surprises.

I think the Kaizo edition of Super Mario World may be harder in terms of actual execution. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, however.

Btw, first level of Kaizo edition SMW.

It took my dad and I weeks to figure out and beat this insanely hard game back in the day. I am the only person I have ever met who ever beat this game...well, besides my dad


Raiders of the Lost Ark for Atari2600

Kinda wierd to play WoW and CoD4 when your first games were like this...lol

Obviously never played Touhou. Game isn't THAT hard. The hit box is only like 5x5 pixels, so you have a lot of leeway.

on a related note, do you play suimusou (th 7.5, aka IaMP in western circles)?
I never got good enough to dare to play online.

Cant wait till the full version of Hisouten (th 10.5) comes out! demo clips look super sweet and I am already hooked on BGMs Twilight Frontier FTW!

Battletoads always comes to mind when I see threads of this nature. Granted I was like 13, but I couldn't beat the jetski level even with infinite lives (game genie ftw).
