Smurfing Wolverine:Adamantium Rage...
I got all the way up to the Hellfire Club without using codes or cheats and ran into a brickwall of difficulty called Black Queen who as far as I know, doesn't take damage...

Day Dreamin' Davey. Nobody is going to know what this is but it was hard as balls. Probably just poor game design, but it frustrated the shiet out of me.

Legend of Legaia. Some of the bosses were just ridiculous, and my PS1 memory card was busted at the time so I was only able to see how far I'd make it without dying once. Answer: not very. I think I made it to that guy named Songi and could never beat him.

Ninja Gaiden II. I bought this like 3 days ago and am severely regretting choosing the harder of the two difficulties.

I Wanna Be The Guy. This is the single most sadistic thing you'll ever play. I'd spend countless hours on school nights trying to beat one smurfing screen for this game. I finally beat it over the summer and felt like I'd risen to the gaming Pantheon.

I'm playing Nocturne right now for the first time. My current game over recored, 10. I'm up to the Third Boss right now (Matador) The game is just plain mean sometimes, especially since I only have 1 demon with Sukunda and he likes to kill him first :(

I'll Forward Utawarerumono DVD on its highest Difficulty level.

The game gets smarter and introduces more complex attributes AND boosts the statistics of the enemy mooks. Thank goodness there are some ways to exploit* them still, else I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did(still haven't beaten it on hardest).


*For example Nuwangi can be stalled by using Eruru(who can only heal). Due to his feelings for her he will refuse to attack her. So just use her to keep him from ripping up your guys while they take care of the rest of the rabble and the other boss. Still not easy, but it is very close to down right impossible if you don't distract him(at least I didn't find a way to do so, I tried and tried because I didn't want to exploit the AI, though that exploit was most definitely put there on purpose, perhaps as the ONLY way to beat hardest mode? Still though it is kinda cheap to completely disable one of the bosses from being able to attack at all merely by blocking him with one of your frailest characters who can't even attack).

Civ 2 on anything but the lowest difficulty. I haven't played it for a while, so I could probably do better now, but when you're young:(

Its a Zelda boss... I cant for the life of me remember which, he is a snake like thing that knocks you off the edge down a floor.

I know what it is. Thanks to old old comic books. And, yes it's a bastard.

Edit: Also, Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and A Boy and His Blob.

Ghouls and Ghosts (Amiga one)
could never work out how to get past the start
still had so much fun doing that xD

Is it this annoying thing?

Yeah, that's got to be the one. xD

I remember having great troubles with him when I was on the plane to Edinburgh this august. The worst part about playing Gameboy in public is that you can't scream or punch anything without looking like a freak.

lol its always noisy when I face him... thankfully I only play in my room lol

I never beat the first level of "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

I think I remember beating the level once actually, but I don't know what happened after that. It is likely I had a heart attack and lost consciousness.

The Devil May Cry series is really hard. Unless you play on the easiest level (which I refuse to do, despite the fact that I can't get past one of the bosses in 3).

The Twin Armors I presume, since almost everyone I know gets stuck on them.

Vagrant Story is not my friend.
