Hardest game you ever beat?

[pickle962]

Does this sound familiar to you? It's 2 in the morning. You're in your room and except for the light coming from the tv screen, it's dark. In your hands is your controller moist from the sweat coming from your shaking hands as you focus your eyes on the screen. You're down to one life and almost dead. You think you might have a chance against that one boss this time, but just as you are about to land the killing blow, the game cheats and before you know it, you are staring at the game over screen. Back in the day, game developers didn't know as much about video games( not to mention the technology was more limited.), so as a result, nintendo hard games were made. It's not rare to see difficult games in today's world, but they do exist. So what are some of the hardest video games you ever beat? For me, I'd have to say either Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link or Castlevania 1. IMO, Castlevania 1 was the tougher of the two because of that one boss. No, make that TWO BOSSES. *cough* Death and Dracula* It was worth it in the end when I beat those games, but it was a pain in the *** though.
