any of the N64 Gex games... those were my childhood and I could barely even beat the first boss of either of those games, and now I feel bad 
XF-5700 Mantis, it was a space combat sim that used realistic physics, which made things very, very difficult. I managed to beat the main campaign, but the expansion pack finally got me.
I don't think I ever beat Earthsiege, either. Good game, though.

Sub-Terrania on the Sega Genesis, a game very similar to the modern "Pixeljunk Shooter" except far more difficult.
good times.

Donald Duck Quack Attack. It was the bane of my liffe for a good 6 f*****g years. I did it though. Victory never felt so sweet in the end.
This is going to sound sad. Horribly sad.
Dreamcast, Sonic Adventure. Skip to the 1:00 mark or so, where he gets the shoes. Now, about twenty seconds after that, where there's the trail of rings?
At age 7ish, I got stuck on that. I spent days trying to figure it out, before finally giving up. Three years passed before I got back to it. Another three before I went back to it again, finished Big's story mode (stupid fishing minigame...) and beat the entire game. Stupid, I know. Not sure how I failed to get that.

Jak 2: Renegade on the PS2. I never could defeat the last boss, but I came back recently and was able to kill him. It was made all the sweeter by the fact he went out with a literal bang.
Runner up would be PilotWings 64. It had been my strong desire to unlock the Skydiving mode as my father was a skydiver. But to unlock it you had to get gold in every normal event. The hang gliding always kicked my ass.
But the winner is definitely Shadows of the Empire 64. I spent weeks off and on trying to beat the Sewers but the brightness on my screen was so low there were several spots where it was pitch black. I finally beat the sewers only to have the robot that never dies (The Gladiator Droid) in the Palace rape me until I gave up.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time. I played it when Majora's Mask came out. Couldn't beat it because of the motherfucking Water Temple. Put it down for a few years, came back to it and realized that the floating platform in the middle tower held the key I needed all those years ago. I felt so stupid. ._.
The final boss of FFX is one of the things that makes me rage (I'm a youngin so I never really played any of the extreamly hard games of the past). He just has so many things that can screw you over in a short peroid of time....
