The hardest game i ever played was Ninja Gaiden for Xbox. There was this part were this serpent lady came crashing through the window in some kinda church temple. But anyway, i thought she was going to be easy cause she kept doing the same moves. But when her health was low.....OMG........she start using telekinesis rock throws that bring down alot of damag. I lost to her about 37-40 times. after that i quit.
Its not that i suck, I was a boss slayer until I made it to her. I still probably cant beat her..

At least i can beat Ninja Gaiden for DS

I remember a topic like this a while back. I'm trying to recall what I posted there. . .
The original Donkey Kong is pretty hard.

A lot of people say they find the original Donkey Kong hard, though I personally find it to be rather easy. The NES Megaman games (except perhaps the second one..) are all pretty hard in my eyes.

How many screens have you beaten? Also, the arcade version has an extra screen over the NES version. Try getting to the kill screen and tell me it isn't hard haha.

Hasn't this thread already been made somewhere not to mention that this isn't the right forum section for this?

I would say legend of zelda: ocarina of time purely for the fact I cannot get past the Forest temple as adult Link but then there is also final fantasy 3 DS which i'm stuck on but usually can't be bothered to play LOL!

lol all of the original games are incredibly hard, most notable metroid for me. On the NES, that game was practically impossible (at least back when I was 6 or 7)

The original megaman games and contra were pretty badass too.

Games are not constrained to the video variety. You have ball games, board games and sex games.

Hardest game I ever played was one me and my mates made in German class. If I remember correctly it was about nazis and there was a very bad Hitler square, we wrote the rules in german and thus couldnt understand what was going on half the time. Thankfully we didn't have to present this to the class, our risqué roleplay of a doctors appointment did not go down well.

Wow, so many of the games listed are hard, but old Atari and Nintendo games beat out any of today's games. Friday the 13th was almost impossible due to it's sheer randomness. The original Duck Tales for the NES was incredibly annoying yet fun. Whoever mentioned Contra I have to agree, I still don't think I've beat that game without the Konami code.

The real hardest game though is this.

I know it sounds odd, but I could never beat this one game named:

"Piglet's Big Game" (for the Gamecube)

I swear, its ridiculous at the last level. You have to do some kind of insane button combo, to scare several "monsters", all in a very unreasonable time limit.

Ninja Gaiden for the NES. That game is harder than calculus.

Also, I seem to have been sigged. I would feel special, but it's just the internet lol.

Tails' Sky Patrol. I dare you to try.

Also, anyone who can A-Rank Metal Harbor in Sonic Adventure 2 deserves at least two cakes. I lost over 100 lives doing that...

Oh good god, yes. Try dying in Tourian.
You ALWAYS start with 30 Energy, no Energy Tanks filled, when you die. So yeah...fighting Metroids with 30 Energy is just...fun.

Also, due to a metric ton of objects on the screen during the Mother Brain fight, the game lags like hell, making it even harder.

rofl...sex games
Okay, yes, they said "sex games". Are we 5?

Yeah, that took me FOREVER. I don't remember how many lives or how long it took, but I remember it being very annoying and I hated it.

Hardest game I've played? Definitely an older game. Which one, I couldn't say -- Metroid is definitely up there, though. Also, doing a minimum% run in any Metroid game is extremely difficult. 1% runs in Metroid Fusion...yeah. That's fun. (Yakuza for the lose.)

Dance Dance Revolution sieres, (most of them) when I play it on the hardest mode with the fastest mode, my legs was tired for a week after doing most of the songs in a lot of DDR games. XD

That and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes when I was 15.

Ninja Gaiden on the NES was heaps hard. I got to a point where I could reach the level on the cliffs without dying, but could never get further than that. Suuuuch a fun game though.

Counter Strike is hard. Everyone is very very good at it online, so it's a steep learning curve.

DDR got pretty hard, as did EBA (canned heat ftl). Guitar Hero 3 was the first Guitar Hero I couldn't beat on hard, thanks largely to Raining Blood by Slayer. I'm normally decent at rhythm games, but I get the feeling my hours spent mastering Donkey Konga won't help me with RB's drums... Oh yes, and I can't ever win at singstar. This is because I'm a dude.

I for one also find Pictionary pretty hard.

I haven't found to many games to be hard, but I found Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, and Battle Toads to be some of the most difficult games.

I swear, I'll never be able to beat a Battle Toads game.
