Which Is The Hardest Game Ever Made?

[EmperorBones]

I gotta say Ghosts N' Goblins for the NES. I mean, did the testers even beat this game without a Game Genie?

The most difficult game I have ever played would have to be Ninja Gaiden 2 (I'm not counting 'I Wanna be the Guy').

Did anyone say Zelda II yet?

That's the hardest game I own, the first two temples are OK, but then the game says "Alright, now you are addicted" and throws the third temple at you. I can't even get to it...

The very first Rayman.
I have never completed it, and I always try to complete games I play.

desert bus for the extreame concertration required to score points rather then the acctual gameplay

Well, it would be too easy for me if it was an indie game or ROM hack... I could say any super mario world ROM hack that I have seen that looks any harder than I wanna be the guy.

So I am gonna say rayman on the PS1. Mainly because of the limited continues, but I swear it is so punishing. Also, it may be my screen, but when I play the DOS version the screen is letterboxed and I can hardly see anything below me.

I guess the redeeming value though, is that when you do it once, it is really easy to do a second time.

Also, this is merely out of personal experience... unfortunately... I haven't really played any non-arcade games that are harder than that.

Edit:

Wow I didn't realise someone posted that. I am new to these forums though, the term is ninja'd... right?

I didn't read through every post, but Simon. Definitely. Did you beat Simon? Didn't think so.

I Wanna Be The Guy

Battletoads

yeah i'd agree there. like actually, not because of some annoying 4chan memes.

Say, what the hell is a friggin' "meme?" I know it means "even" in French, but what has pop-culture done to it?

An on-line joke basically. they start off funny then end up so overused it's ridiculous. e.g lolcats.

It comes from the Japanese word for see, which is mimasu, not from French.
