The Hardest Games You'll Ever Play (And Never Beat)

[Flutterguy]

Metal Arms was hard? Heh, I remember beating the highest difficulty as a child! I'm sure my ego didn't need that.

I've actually played them all through to the end, using an emulator and save states for Ninja Gaiden cause goddamn...

Wow, Justin, stop hogging all the originality! Save some for the rest of us!

I briefly played Metal Arms, but I don't remember it well. But it's pretty cheap on them newflangled internets and I still have a PS2 plugged in. I should get it sometime.

For me the hardest game to beat is Nethack.

You have to play countless hours only to discover that you will die again.....and again...and again.

I once died because I was kicking a wall while trapped in a room!

How in the hell does 2-D shooter not make this list. You guys don't know anything about difficulty. For most people this is nothing but fantasy but I guess most people don't play shumps right?
