Edit: Never mind. I was responded to with 'I found [Animism] enjoyable', but he changed it before I could say anything. Or maybe I just misread. Whatever the case, this is a moot post.
Edit 2: Mushihime-sama Futari. First two difficulty levels are 'normal-level standard shmup' and 'normal-level bullet hell shooter'. Then you go to Ultra Mode, and the enemies all use patterns to put Flandre Scarlet to abject shame. And it can get even harder with the Xbox 360 version.

SA? Yeah it's definitely hard, but are we talking Normal or Lunatic? Anything below Lunatic isn't unfair hard like IWBTG. I don't think they should be grouped together, honestly. Not a big deal either way of course.leet_x1337 said:
Got my copy off Steam thank you very much.lacktheknack said:
Two words.
Fuck. Egypt.
Seriously, the Great Pyramid had me set down my controller and just not come back to the game for a week.
Anniversary managed to be even more difficult than the original and going from TR:A to TR:L is like jumping from IWBTG to "You have to burn the rope."
Not to mention those Relics were damn hard to find in places and the added complexity those added to the area design could make some of the levels quite confusing.
I beat Super Meat Boy in three days, 100% Light and Dark. I can speed run Ninja Gaiden. I am not unfamiliar with difficult games or mastering them and TR:A was one of the hardest I have ever played. Great game, fun, beautiful, amazing puzzles and environments. I have played and beaten all 9 Tomb Raider Games and Anniversary is without a shadow of a doubt the most difficult of the bunch for its puzzles and level layout, especially for Time Trials.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R games are only difficult to start with. They actually get easier as they go on due to your equipment making a huge difference.Shiny Koi said:
Do yourself a favor and get the Complete mods for the series. Not only do they fix a ton of bugs and update the graphics, but it also adjusts the difficulty curve making the game easier to get started and more difficult at the end.

Well since it hasn't been posted yet:
Beatmania IIDX. Seriously, there is no harder rhythm game on the market than this one, and I don't care what Guitar Hero fans think. Nageki no Ki. Look it up on Youtube some time.

Sorry to be predictable, but Battletoads on NES. It's an awesome game, but I've never beaten it. I've ALMOST beaten stage 9 without using any warps though, which is much farther than a lot of people get.
Also, Ninja Gaiden III for the NES. Ninja Gaiden 1 really isn't that hard compared to the third one. I can beat NG 1 no problem, but the limited continues you get in the third game, and the absolute cruelty in how far it warps you back in the stage even if you just DIE rather than get a Game Over really make it the hardest of the three.
Also, Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! (on normal mode or hard) for PSP. I beat everything in Prinny 1, so I was no fool when it came to the difficulty of the Prinny games, but Prinny 2 was OVERLY cheap with its level design, and some of the enemies made the stages nearly unplayable. Even after using all my tricks I learned in the first game, I still had to lower it to "baby mode" during the last couple of levels because it was just too effing impossible.

Korean MMO called Mabinogi
It was long ago ported to the US, and has been nerfed twice due to how unforgiving it was for new players
Not the game for you unless you like dying... or glitching >.>
other than that, the aforementioned IWTBTG, and Demon Souls was pretty brutal too

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines. There is exactly one solution to every level, you have to perfectly coordinate each of the up to 6 people under your control, and sometimes winning is a matter of pixel perfect timing.
Yeah, well, what I'm saying is that most people who play it will probably never beat the game on its 'normal' difficulty (Hard, in the case of Guy.) As for 'unfair hard', I think SA passed that point with Mizuhashi. And then kept going after Komeji, particularly with Reimu-B...Et3rnalLegend64 said:
Edit: Forgot to put this on my first list: Shoot the Bullet. Another Touhou game, but this time with a gimmick that makes it even harder to win. Couple that with about a hundred completely insane boss battles, and you have yourself a nigh-impossible game.
Edit 2: Super Metroid Impossible. Everything you thought you knew about both Kaizo hacks and Super Metroid won't help you win this time. Spikes are everywhere, doors change colour, upgrades are swapped around, and timers are shortened...have a lot of fun.
It's really not that hard, It's just about repetition and memorizing all the trapsthedoclc said:
I beat it on hard =D
Almost any game ever made by Cave.
You think Touhou on Lunatic is hard? ... It still is. But Cave makes games that are way harder.
Let us go with DoDonPachi (any game in that series) as our example. By default, the game is about as difficult as a Touhou game on Lunatic, if not a bit harder, mostly owing to the fact that you get less bombs and lives to work with.
The fun doesn't stop there. Now imagine that, in order to truly 'beat' the game and get the best ending, you have to complete certain absurd requirements. Like, die less than twice. Or don't bomb, ever.
But oh man, THAT isn't enough for the good ending. No, now the game drops you back at stage 1 again and you need to play it all again. On Hard mode. With an extra boss at the end.
Keeping in mind that Normal mode was as hard as Touhou Lunatic, if not harder, and this game's hard mode is exactly twice as hard.
Ick.
Addendum: Referring to post-Touhou 9 Lunatic here, as 10 is when Touhou really picked up its game with Lunatic.
