Topic: The most difficult game's you've ever played and beaten

Ninja Gaide III: The Ancient Ship of Doom - (NES)

Yes NGIII is the hardest and one of the most intense videogames I've ever come across. It's also hands down the most difficult of the NG Nes trilogy. And you know what? I managed to beat it which was around 4 months ago. It took lots of time, patience and frustration but I did it and it had to be of been one of my greatest gaming achievments of all time . It was like the feeling I got when completing Wario Land Shake it! 100%(actually, THIS was the hardest and most insanely thing to achieve out of all of the videogames I've played in my life) but that's another story all together. Seriously though, if you can beat NGIII than I give you mad props because if so than you've seriously got some gaming Master Guru skills None of the Mega Man games can touch the difficulty of the 3 Nes Ninja Gaiden Games. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse is the second hardest game I've ever beaten. But again nothing can come close to the insane skill based brutality of completing all of the obstacles in Wario Land Shake it! It gave me nightmares.

Anyhoo, here are some other examples of toughy's I've beaten

Ninja Gaiden - (NES)
Ninja Gaiden II: Dark Sword of Chaos - (NES)
Ninja Gaiden III: Ancient Ship of Doom - (NES)
Castlevania - (NES)
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse - (NES)
Wario Land Shake it! 100% - (Wii)
Super Gouls n' Ghosts - (SNES)
Punch-Out!! Title Defense mode - (Wii)

And damnit, I remember almost finishing the oh so annoying and frustrating 'TMNT' for the Nes...I mean that game is just so unpredictable with it's cheap enemy glitches and respawning and poorly done Levels, that I just couldn't do it. Although I did make it to the final Level right before Shredder. Yet I called it quits after a few Tries. Another tough as nails videogame is Blaster Master for the Nes...I can't beat the Finall Boss is in his Final Form. And I don't think I'll ever will try again ;p

I just beat Mega Man X today, actually. I don't really play many difficult games, so that's the hardest one I've beaten. I like games that are big on story, not difficulty. I've played Mega Man 1-8, and I can't even beat those ones.

Megaman 2 & 3. Very, very hard. Also personally found them quite boring. But I bought them so I figured I should finish them.

I really should add Mega Man X6 to the list as well....That game was just irritating. I've beaten X1-X6 and X6 was definitly the worst of the bunch.

Boring? MM2 Hard? how dare you speak such silly words.
Nahh but to each their own. I can beat both those games in my sleep...Then again, those Wily Sub Levels in MM3 can get tricky and those Fake MM2 Robot Masters were a pain in the ass. MM2's only difficult part for me are the Wily Castle Bosses.

The entire Super Star Wars saga. It took me four months to complete it all playing non stop

Zelda or Zelda II, I guess? I can't think of any particularly hard games that I've beaten.

Galaxy was easy to beat, but to beat it 100% was tough.

Of the COMPLETED ones: Metroid Prime 1 version Gamecube

I had trouble with Donkey Kong 64 when I was 5, but nowadays, it's not SO hard.

Majora`s mask. That game is like bootcamp. If you can beat that, you can beat ANY zelda game.

Probably Ghouls & Ghosts for me, that game is tough IMO.

Off of the top of my head, the only really tough one I can think of is Ninja Gaiden. The one on the Xbox, not the NES one.

Apparently, the Sega Genesis version of Double Dragon.

I'd have to give it some serious thought.. but also off the top of my head I'll say Orbient. To complete that game 100% i.e Every moon on every level... well, took me years (admittedly I had periods when I ignored it and played other things... but still took me forever)

Bit. Trip BEAT. fantastic game. challenge was acceptable the whole way through. never frustrating.

i guess i could count those, too. they're probably tougher than BEAT.

sin and punishment. hands down

I think Metroid Prime, but once I beat Super Metroid and Dark Void Zero, those will take the place.

I beat that awhile back, but I never considered it a Very Difficult game.

lol,I finished MM when I was 12
