Most difficult game ever made

J. Max · Dec 6, 2002

...Contra EX for GBA. It's the same as Contra III for the SNES (with a few levels from Contra:Hatd Corps thrown in) but they took out the super bomb and you can only carry one weapon at a time. This game is so hard that it isn't fun anymore. I actually threw my GBA, something I haven't done since the days of the NES...

hard to answer, since I haven't played all the games ever made.

for me, it must be ikaruga.

I always say Bagman...that old arcade game.

I've never even heard of anyone getting to the 2nd level without cheating.

G.I. JOE
for the Famicom/NES, trying to beat Gold Headed Destro is an act of congress, God and one of the programmers of the game accepting bribes to maybe give you a code to bypass him. I've only met one person who ever beat the game and proved it, all others just talk.

the other game would be...

NINJA GAIDEN III: ANCIENT SHIP OF DOOM
for Famicom/NES

That game is too damn hard for it's own good. Still haven't beaten it

It's gotta be Gradius 3&4 on PS2. I played it for about 4 hours strait and never beat it <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" /> <img src="graemlins/blowtop.gif" border="0" alt="[Blow Top]" />

I'd say Battletoads and Super Ghouls N Ghosts rank pretty high on the OMFG I'm Gonna Kill Someone But I'll Keep Playing Cause It's Good list. I'll send anyone a dollar who beat The Adventures Of Batman and Robin on the Genesis WITHOUT a Game Genie. That game is FUCKING HARD.

My favorite painfully hard game remains Viewpoint.

Buro Destruct · Dec 7, 2002

Yeah, Viewpoint is simply aggravating.

Gradius 4 is impossible. I have managed to beat Gradius 3, only through cheating however.

Silpheed for the PS2 is also a pretty difficult game. It doesn't help that you're forced to start over the entire level when you die, even if you made it to the boss. Einhander isn't very forgiving either.

Makes me wonder why I buy shooters if all I do is lose.

Gradius 4 is the hardest game ever.

RiotoftheBlood · Dec 7, 2002

I've finished Contra Hardcorps.

However, Ninja Gaiden I, Battetoads and Ninja Gaiden III kick my ass from least to most. :o

Did you play Contra III on the "hard" level mode? Contra EX on either mode is much easier than the original Alien Wars "hard" mode. Even the GameBoy Contra III: Alien Wars (the black and white one) is harder. Although the super bomb is a nice weapon and a staple of this classic game, it is possible to get by without it (try the original Contra games on MAME, not the watered-down difficulty Nintendo versions). The only reason Contra EX is frustrating is because the GameBoy Advance control pad is stiff.

Can't blame you on throwing the GBA though. Just try Super Ghouls and Ghosts

Which GI Joe? There were two. The one with the branching levels? Or the platformer/sidescroller by Takara?

I always had problems with Firepower 2000 for the SNES. I sucked BIG TIME on that game. I remember watching my brother tear that shit up on the most difficult setting though, so maybe it's just me? It was a cool game none the less.

Yeah, me too (by using Gameshark). I don't think anybody can beat US version since it lacks of life bar as in JPN version.

Somebody mentions Super Ghouls'n Ghosts is hard? I don't really think so.........
I've finished both Ghouls'n Ghosts and Super Ghouls'n Ghosts twice without using any cheating device

theres no way i can make a fitting comment for this picture.

There's no gold headed Destro in GI Joe: The Atlantis Factor (the Capcom one) so I can only assume it's the platform one (no subtitles) by Taxan.

I recently picked up Galaxy Fight and AOF2 carts, and I'm close to breaking both of them over my knee.

Without a doubt the two single most frustrating and challenging games I have ever played.

believe it or not, you can beat AoF2 - it's all about jumping straight up and kicking as the enemy approaches, or sticking to the high low game. Reasonable games like KoF 98 have spoiled us.

I finished the US version, 3 out of 4 paths with Ray. No cheating devices used, only tons of practice. I think that finishing Contra SS Stage 6 is more difficult. I've never seen stage 7 of SS, and I can't finish Stage 5 of Contra III in Hard mode.

THE OOZE for the Sega Genesis.

Completed it? i don't believe you.

Completed it WITH the 50 strands of D.N.A to turn back into a human? No you haven't and you never will either!!!!!

Tehcno · Dec 7, 2002

Yes definetly something they did not need to do. Up the difficutly to game that was already difficult. Not only that taking out the screen bombs and mulitple weapon. Come on Konami WTF is up with that anyway.

I never beat it either, but I can easily make it to the last level. I haven't put a lot of effort into winning yet, but unless the second half of the final level gets a lot tougher, this game isn't that hard.
