I was playing Dead Space today and complaining that Dead Space was difficult and my bro said that if i gamed in his era i would die from frustration(dunno if the word is spelled correctly). I want to relive those Dark ages of Agony and frustration. Oh, and i want a modern one(2004-today).

He is right! And you can't experience the "dark ages" unless you actually go back and play some of those games :P

Here are some games I remember being pretty hard:

Megaman

Lifeforce

Contra

Blaster Master

Battle for Olympus

A boy and his blob

Battletoads (that stupid hover bike level LOL)

You know, almost all those games back then were painfully hard. Most of them were only actually like 3-4 hours long, but would take weeks to beat because you would have to play them over and over and over and over again.

But for a modern day game I would try maybe Viewetiful Joe or the newer Ninja Gaiden games.

(taken from this list: http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/top-25-hardest-games-of-all-time/?page=3)

Personally I haven't played Viewetiful Joe, But I did play Ninja Gaiden Black...game is a nightmare.

Here are two that are hard, but do-able:

  • Out of This World
  • Flashback

And here's one that's definitely going to get you to yank out your hair in frustration:

  • Lemmings 2: The Tribes (try to get Gold medals for every tribe)

And one that's just a b@#$% to not break down crying in anger and hopelessness:

  • Sheep

STALKER on master difficulty. Serious Sam on serious difficulty. Far Cry on realistic difficulty. Wizardry 8 on hard & ironman (cannot save/load game besided when quitting, when you die you have to start over) ...and pretty much every hardcore WRPG, especially the ones from 80's and 90's. Thief 1 & 2, ghosting/expert/100% loot (ghosting means no kills, no KO's and no contact with the AI whatsoever - if they see or hear you, start over) Deus Ex on realistic difficulty with zero violence (no damage to anyone) Doom 1 & 2 on nightmare. Any flight/sub/anything simulator. X-Com: Terror From The Deep on superhuman difficulty. ... Beat all of them and then come back. ;)

Punishing Alien vs. Predator Get Medieval Quake Clive Barker's Undying System Shock 2 Unforgiving Thief Doom 3 Commandos X-COM 7th Guest Evil Far Cry Final Doom Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Dragon's Lair Half-Life - "Conundrum" mod series And your bro makes a good point. Modern games tend to have FAR more forgiving gameplay mechanics than older titles. At some point, developers realized that most people weren't dedicated enough to actually finish their games, so they decided to dumb them down to somewhere near the lowest common denominator. It's the same thing that happened with movies: where a really well-written plotline used to suffice, now the masses need flashy action sequences and safe, "good guy wins" endings all wrapped up in a neat little package. To be honest, it wasn't a bad move for the industry, but it did sort of ruin the satisfaction for a lot of us. I did like Dead Space a lot though. It really wasn't that difficult, but the atmosphere made it a pretty nerve-wracking experience that was challenging in a different way.

you wanted a really challenging game... I found this skate game that rocks! the controls are pretty advanced, but once you learn how to play you will be doing backflip 360 flips all over the place. The Game is Called Kickflp, it can be played for free at: www.DailyPcGame.com I also recommend the freestyle moto x game, that game is sick. Peace.

My experience with Dead Space - The beginnning moments really pumped me up. And when I saw one of the monsters for the first time tearing up my crewmates I felt like I was in for something akin to Aliens. But then I find out that I have a button that shows me where to go. It took some of the scare out because you could never get lost in the ship, which would have been awesome.

That minor point aside, I really enjoyed that game. Combat was good, the atmosphere was brilliant. But I agree that it wasn't really that hard.

For a really hard game, play the original Prince of Persia. Can anyone say "One hour time limit"?

serious sam on serious mode will cause you to commit suicide. the sheer number of enemies and the fact that you always barely have enough ammo (even having full ammo on everything doesn't last long, you have to burn through so much)

I will second Megaman (Rockman) and that one is still fun to play today. Battletoads.... yes that one I sold after I beat it once cause it was disgusting. Contra I beat several time over in the 1st day I got it so I am not sure why that's there. I dont know about the rest of that list. I would also look up: Karnov (mediocre difficulty but its fun even now) Castlevania II (without a guide its almost impossible) Zanac (this one drove me nuts) Altered Beasts (frustrating with only 2 continues) Modern Stuff: Galactic Civilizations on hardest level (never beat it) Civilizations IV (again at highest level... beatable but good luck)

Go for the Microsoft Flight Simulator games....they have a very steep learning curve (read too realistic). Also, GT Legends, Racedriver GRID and some other simulation games are hard to grasp.

I know it's not a PC game, but if you've got a PS3, I can highly recommend importing Demon's Souls. It is quite challenging. During the first 5 hours of play, I died roughly 50 times. But the difference between it and many other difficult games is that it never feels cheap- when you die, you deserved to die. And you'll know that when you play it because if you keep your wits, you can survive probably any situation. But the game does a good job of ambushing you, so it's easy to panic which usually results in your untimely death. Sorry that I can't think of any PC-specific ones. I just wouldn't recommend one that's difficult if I thought it was cheap.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 1 (one of the few games i couldn't beat because of its difficulty), Stalker: Clear Sky on pretty much any difficulty (harder than the first one imo), far cry is tough, but i finished it without cheats. not tough enough. the first splintercell gets fairly difficult later on, but is fairly old by your standards (2002). GTAIV can be hard but for the wrong reasons. i'd go with GRAW or Stalker: clear sky.
