Truly if i had to pick three i would go with

  • Secret of Mana (Snes)
  • Ninja Gaiden (Nes)
  • Jet Force Gemini

Hardest Mission

The RC Plane mission in San Andreas with the absolutely s***** controls and it would take like 49 tries to do it. i was so fricken proud when i finally did it. cuz my older bro couldnt do it and i was like pwnage. god that mission sucked

bofe1234

Jet Force Gemini is pretty hard, but I beat it when I was 9 so maybe not.

The hardest game I've ever played:

 

Took me months to complete this game, but that's maybe cause I hate racing games.

The Hardest ever is (no broken and good designed) is Battletoads, the thrid level is just the beggining, is cake compared to the levels that follow.

And then we have the arade shumps, this is from a VC review:

The Good:  Difficulty will make you want to curl up into a fetal position, shivering and sobbing.

Ninja Gaiden Black  Speaks for itself

Jurassic Park on the SNES if anyone has played this, they will know how hard it is.

Another vote for the NES Ninja Gaiden.  The game of the same title would be the hardest game lately.

Steel batallion, 40 button 200$ controller. If you fail to eject and die you're data is wiped...yuna707
That's not a hard game. That's a design flaw.

On the topic: Ikaruga. The game is hard enough for the lay man, but try playing that game as it was meant to be play and your eyes will start bleeding. Never has a game been so joyfully difficult.

[QUOTE="-Sir-Poof-"]DMC 3 that game was fin hard.cakeorrdeath


Compared to the other games being mentioned that was a cake walk.

Undoubtably the hardest games ever are from the 2D era. Before the time of strenuous quality controll, extensive play testing and focus groups.

Most of those 2D games arent even playable.

Hmm, Kid Chameleon (Mega Drive/Genesis) I think.



Even though the game was fairly challenging, the biggest reason I never finished it was because it had nearly a 100 levels.Doomshine
I never finished it because after about six levels there was some idiotic jumping sequence that I somehow couldn't get past.

Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast had a level with an infinite number of laps.

That was pretty difficult.

I agree with you. Also Battletoads Double Dragon was kind of hard for me back then. I couldn't get past level 4.

I challenage anyone to top this: link. I have yet to come across a game that has left me in owe of the difficult it presents it's gamers. A very simple premise pushed to ruthless extremes to entice the hardest of hardcore gamers. Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and admit defeat. Never have I done that with admiration for such quality of challenge. Genuis. Arguably the hardest game of all time. One that you never walk away from grudgingly.

The Boulder Dash games on C64, the levels started out easy and then just got insane. Specially the later series. Awesome though.

F-Zero GX without a DOUBT. I mean that game on Very Hard is simply mind blowing.

I'm not counting the unbeatable noir arcade games such as Pac-Man though.

Quest 64. F-Zero GX on very hard difficulty. (I know I'm going to get flame for saying this but......) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess with only three hearts while equipped with Zoras Tunic. Out of thie World (SNES). And I think I named the game that gave me headaches from time to time.....

But F-Zero GX gets my award though. Never have I played a game that made me want toyank my GC and controller out of the walll and hurl it out the window from frustration.....

Phantasy Star II is punishingly hard for an RPG. It's virtually impossible to make it through a dungeon without maps.
