That's the name! Yeah, I think technically it isn't hard once you know where the various absurd traps are 'cause it's just memorization from there, but in your first play through it's hella funny and hard like, "...wtf, did that flagpole at the end just kill me?" I also heard there's a Syobon Action 2.

Hardest for me would be Megaman 2. hit the willy stages and good night.

Siren. Siren. And Siren.

I consider myself an avid player of horror games, and most of the time they're quite hard due to their core gameplay. I'm not bothered by hard games so much as I am by impossible ones. For those who don't know Siren originally came out for PlayStation 2. What basically occurs in the game is this village becomes these type of zombies. Due to the bloody water, you gain the ability to basically see through their eyes. This sounds cool in theory, but not in areas when you've never seen before. You really have no idea where one of these things are walking around, and if they spot you they alert every other one, too.

I've only gotten so far with a guide, and even then the game gets more difficult when you have to guide the BLIND. There was a second one released in Japan, and a third one on PS3. I didn't play either of them due to the difficulty of the first. I did try the demo for the third one, which seemed a lot creepier... but didn't seem to change much in terms of gameplay.

This game will forever haunt me as being the one horror game I have not completed. CURSES!

Space Invaders. THEY JUST KEEP GETTING FASTER!! I got into the level-select screen on my old Atari 2600 and decided to jump to level 80.
I had no chance.

NINJA GAIDEN on the NES!!!!!!!

Bloody Battletoads, lads. Battletoads!

[Force-A-Nature]

Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc

I didn't touch the game for 3 months because of that final boss.

Oh boy how I hate that final boss.

This. Using warp zones, the farthest I've ever gotten was level 10, but typically I only can make it up to level 9. Well, that's the hardest good game I've played anyways; the hardest bad game I've had the displeasure of playing was The Terminator on the NES. The game's controls are so horrid that I never could make it past the first level.

The mission "Burn them out" (or something like that) in Call of Duty:World at War when it's on Vetran Diffuculty. You play an American soldier and you have to storm the Japanese dug-in trench. It's so retarded. First there's an unlimited number of Japanese, so you have to keep advancing or they just keep respawning. Second, even a pea-shooter would kill you. Third, they keep spamming grenades to prevent your advancing, which just means that it goes in for forever... I still haven't gotten past it because the enemy AI is so cheap.

Tenchu Z and Phantasy Star Universe... I've had the games for two years and still haven't beaten them.

MW2's story mode on Veteran (hardest difficulty, nearly made me go Bat-Bonkers

I really have to agree.
The first Boss-match were a real bad fight for me, over 20 retries.
and don´t get him down.
Then I trained every character with the different weapon types.
then fought the boss again, after some retries I got him. It is a really hard game ._.

You've been through hell solider the war is won you can rest now *Salutes*
I felt your pain that difficulty in MW2 makes dodging rain easy!

[Gatx]

Devil May Cry 3 for me, the first American version. Absolutely refused to switch to Easy mode after unlocking it by dying to Cerberus too many times, and took me months to get past him. I wasn't playing everyday so it's not as bad as it sounds.

The doujin shmup Suguri is also pretty hard, still haven't beaten it.

[Stone]

I usually don´t have problems with any game.

But LoZ: twilight princess... I just say dragons and climbing a wall trying not to get flamed. I don´t know how often I died because I just threw away all hope to ever reach the friggin dragon.

I know exactly what you mean, mate. Every time I'd play, I was all over the place. The game itself wasn't that challenging, the real challenge was getting around the controls!

Battletoads, curse that game. One of very few games that is harder when you play with a friend.

Too true, mate. Too true. Another one for me was Metal Gear Solid, the original on the PS1. Oh man!
