| Is there a game that is so hard to beat, so annoyingly taunting that you will never play it again? Perhaps you beat it and now you're putting it on the ol' shelf? |

| Drawn to Life's final boss was sort of hard to beat, but my friend gave me a cheat for unlimited lives. Sadly, my sisters lost that game, so I was never able to finish it. Oh, and if you can't tell, I don't really play video games. |
| Ninja Gaiden 2 on Mentor and above.. Mentor is doable, but the difficulties above that just take too much practice for a single player game. |
  |
| Crysis-WarHead... I beated it on the highest difficulty and it was a complete nightmare. Other one I expended countless hours on was Mass Effect, which can be really tough on some players not used to shooters/rpgs (of course playing on hard). |
| Currently Uncharted 2 on crushing mode, some of the levels is a bitch to complete since i had a hell of a time beating hard. So ill leave it to the sidelines for a few weeks since im consumed playin MW2. |
 |
| Silver Surfer on NES |
| I've kind of given up on Touhou on Lunatic I consider myself a pretty good gamer, but that's just a tad too much. Other than that Star ocean: Till the end of time has some pretty menacing bosses and I once quit it for a while....I have yet to finish it. - Lith. |
 |
| Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on NES. The vast majority of people who played that game NEVER beat the water level and gave up. |
 |
Seijuro said: OHOHO.Silver Surfer on NES Well, beside such peculiarities, you could also try Demon's Souls, it's supposed to be pretty brutal. Just look at that tactical staircase battle, and that's just against a random mook. Haven't played it myself though, so I can't really comment much. |
| superman on the n64 et on the atari need i go on? |
 |
| Battletoads, most def. |
triseke said: superman on the n64 et on the atari need i go on? Those aren't hard... they're just beyond horrible! |
|
| Mickey Mania for snes is ridiculously hard for what supposedly is a "kids game". Also, I don't recall mickey having to dodge bombs, axes, and burning lava in any of the cartoons but ok. |
Retsu-kun said: Battletoads, most def. The part where you had to descend into a cave with a rope was not fun to say the least. I can honestly say I haven't quit a game just because its really hard. I might quit for a while, then come back later after I've cooled off and then beat it. |
| Persona 3 FES. I still plan to get the PSP version because I heard you'll be able to control everyone directly, which would make the game a lot easier because you don't have to anticipate f-ups from your teammates. |

   Special thanks to orbitzz for the sig |
| Man, games like that don't come around for me anymore. There used to be a shitload on the NES that were really tought. Has anyone ever played Solstice for the NES? This game was ridiculous hard and to this day, I still haven't beaten it. Cowabunga said: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on NES. The vast majority of people who played that game NEVER beat the water level and gave up. Oh man, I remember this game. Unfortunately, I don't own it so could never beat it, but a friend of mine used to have it and when we played it when we were young, it was tough as balls. Turtles 2 and 3 were so much easier, and much more fun. Konami definitely knew what they were doing in creating those games. |
| the ghostbusters game on, i think, the atari? its insanely difficult. Wrecked my bloody head. |
|
classicalzawa said: Persona 3 FES. I still plan to get the PSP version because I heard you'll be able to control everyone directly, which would make the game a lot easier because you don't have to anticipate f-ups from your teammates. The Answer was really tough, particularly for me as I'd played through the main game on Easy mode. I don't think I'll be playing that again ANY time soon. |
| Otogi Myth Of Demons was apeshit frustration worthy. |
| Alot of Sega and SNES games as i remember, Only one that i can think of recently would be Ninja Gaiden 2. The sense of accomplishment you got from finally finally beating a very tough old SNES/Sega game was awesome :D Sad games nowdays don't give that feeling as much, but i certainly spend less of my time bashing my head against a wall in frustration! :) |
 |
| Super Ghouls N' Ghosts for the snes. EFF THAT GAME >:( |
 |

|
| Demon's Souls came close to making me quit but I refused and pushed through. After leveling up your character, things get a little easier but you still die a lot. |
 |
| The last stage on Metal Slug 3 would piss me off so badly... |
 |
Lithia said: I've kind of given up on Touhou on Lunatic I consider myself a pretty good gamer, but that's just a tad too much. But that's the best part about any Touhou shmup, or any other shmup for that matter! D: Challenge is what makes it so fun. |
 |
| Armored core Nexus - Trying to get every mission perfect. (Game is easy sometimes, but to get perfect stats... lot harder) |
| probably ninja gaiden on ultimate, I got to a point where it was literally impossible to progress, so I just stopped. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Battletoads. Till this day I still didn't beat it legit. |

classicalzawa said: Persona 3 FES. I still plan to get the PSP version because I heard you'll be able to control everyone directly, which would make the game a lot easier because you don't have to anticipate f-ups from your teammates. I agree that this is a legitimate choice admist all these badass oldschoolers. Even if you've played absolutely perfectly with kajas, kundas and evade elements, the RNG could still absolutely rape you in the boss fights if you were very unlucky. Add to this the AI of your characters and the game could be considered reasonably frustrating. Yukari's healing AI was particularly epic. Why, when your teammates are dying around you, would you cast Wind Break? Why, Yukari? |

| The final boss of Scurge: Hive. It even has two *gulp* harder difficulty modes |

Metroid Prime and probably all the other shooters out there. Why? They all give me headaches after 2mins of playing the game >_>; It took me at least a year to finish MP1... I was forcing myself to finish it since I got it as a Christmas present during the time it got released. That made me realize that I can't take FPS D: |
 |
| Oh, and may I recommend Unlimited Saga? I don't know whether it was the unbearably boring boardgame layout with all the bloody traps and lockpicking that bored me out, or the suddenly hard battles. |
| The first one that comes to mind is Ecco the Dolphin. That Vortex ship at the end is ridiculous. |

I'm guessing you haven't hit the final boss yet, at which going in at level 85 was borderline underleved of me. And then gyah!! Don't heal him!!! I'm low on Beads and Soma to reverse your idiocy! |
| I don't know or think that I have come across a game that made me feel that way, but some real touch ones I thought were: Panzer Dragoon Orta Siren Conker's Bad Fur Day Castle of Shikigami Any Contra title Ninja Gaiden series I'll add more as they come to me. |

Seijuro said: Silver Surfer on NES I have never played that game before, but have seen reviews of it. Looks like a real controller breaker to me. |
| Quite a few games.. Rondo of Swords: I can't even beat the tutorial. The first stage is even harder. Unless a cheat device is used, winning one battle may be a little difficult. Shin Megami Tensei I: There is a random encounter every step you walk and the save spot is like hundreds of steps away from the healing spot and the city. |
 |
MidnightCheddar said: Conker's Bad Fur Day Haha I was just playing that the other day. |
|
| Let's not forget that the main reason why many old video games were hard as hell was because they had horrible gameplay, design, etc. The hard games that were actually good most people didn't give up on them, like the original Legend of Zelda or Contra. |
|
| I wanna be the guy I couldn't beat it. I managed to get to the second to last boss and couldn't beat it. |
 |
| the final 3rd form of duke on tales of vesperia on the hidden diffulcity and toho on lunatc although i have beaten it once it was a real pain in my ass |
| Sig deleted for being too large. |
| Zelda II was a real pain, It's the only Zelda game that doesn't even feel like a Zelda game. It's also the only one in the series i could never beat. =.= |
 |
| Not exactly the entire game, but LotR: The Return of the King for console. The First gandalf level had me stuck for ages. Even after I read a walkthrough. |
 |
| For those of you who hated Silver Surfer and TMNT on the NES I recommend you the Angry Video Game Nerd. |
