Which Is The Hardest Game Ever Made?

[ward.]

Touhou games, only the official ones though, Dwarf Fortress and I wanna be that guy all rank right up there as ridiculously difficult.

Operation Flashpoint, methinks.

I spent a LONG time beating that game. I still haven't finished the Soviet campaign yet, but I did manage to get through the NATO campaign as well as Resistance. I'm glad someone else mentioned it, and I am glad I'm not alone. The mission where they just drop you and 4 other guys on Kolgujev and say, "Go kill Shilkas," is freak'n tough!

I would also have to add Star Trek: Echoes from the Past. It's nearly impossible to beat without some kind of map and some blessings/enchantments to guide your path. I tried to beat the mine mission by myself and I just beat it two months ago (I eventually broke down and found a map online). I had been playing it since I was about 9 (I'm 22 now for reference)!!! No, seriously... Look it up if you don't believe me! It's quite possibly the hardest Sega Genesis game ever made!!!

Honorable mention: Ghosts and Goblins

Takeshi no Chousenjou. Seeing as how its meant to be frustrating...

Kingdom Hearts, I was 8 and it was the first game I played on the PS2 I could not get passed the first boss, mainly because I used all my potions at the beginning and goofy and Donald always died.

GTA:San Andreas and their flying segment. The game just comes to a complete halt and I haven't been able to beat it at all. It's hard enough flying normally with their sloppy flying controls, but when they make entire storyline-missions based off of it, I find myself completely incapable.

Dude I have always hated that fucking flying segment. Never got passed myself. The controls absolutely sucked for that.

Hired Guns : The Jagged Edge, on any difficulty, really. Not because it was meant to be hard.

Because whoever programmed the game balance was drunk and stupid. (Shotgun = annoying, Kick = near death)

Has Ghouls & Ghosts been mentioned yet?

 

[L4Y Duke]

I don't know the name, but apparently back in the days of "Graph-ics? What are they?" text adventures, a game was released that was impossible.

Literally. They missed a bug in coding that removed one of the rooms you needed to pass through to win.

Not only one of the most challenging but one of the best games ever!

If you liked that you should try where they originated from - the 'Delta Force' series! One shot one kill - ultimate challenge.

I heard I Wana Be The Guy is really hard.

 

[Xegewrath]

Operation Flashpoint or... Contra?

 

[Fortesque]

Alex the Kidd on the Sega Master System or Mega Drive i cant remember.

No saving system and about a hundred levels.
When you die, you have to start again at level 1, could only ever get to about lvl 3.

Sega Master System 2 had it for free, I remember spending days trying to beat it.
Got to the 2nd last boss =(

Nethack without spoilers, Dwarf Fortress aaaand

I must beat it. Damn you!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

the hardest ive played: Tomb Raider anniversary

Hmmm I found it ok except for two parts... swinging across the walls with the blades and climbing the temple at the end... that was just a nightmare of atrocious camrea angles: fake difficulty makes the player angry!

This is EXACTLY what happened me. The controls in San Andreas were shoddy, there are no two ways about it.

I had to use the slow mo cheat to beat that flying school and it was STILL damn hard. Hated it.

Again, terrible controls do not equal challenge, just anger.

Has anyone tried Mario 3 world 8 level 1 and 2 without a P wing?

i did not think that there would be many people out there that would agree with me on this one, let alone many people who have even played in this generation. i have yet to encounter a world as complete and logically organized as the world of riven. it is truly the most immersive and complete virtual world ever created.

True. Yet it was also insanely difficult to get your head around what you have to do. But when you did it was a wonderful feeling of immersion.

 

[G1eet]

Tetris, could never beat that game.

Ironic how something so simple could be yet so hard.

 

[Woodster 117]

Super Ghosts n` Ghouls.

When you finally beat the game,you find out you have to go through it AGAIN,before you see the real ending.

I Nearly went insane that day.

F-Zero GX on Expert. Good God.
