What is the hardest game you ever played?

[Bolivar]

Probably an NES or Genesis game that barely made its way past QA.

Most recently Dragon Age Origins on PC. The amount of micromanaging I needed to do for some battles was insane. I might've been doing things in a weird order, making it harder on myself. I opened up my laptop one day and thought whether I should keep going in Dragon Age or check out Oblivion. I made one of the best decisions in my gaming life that day.

Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism on Normal, Hard or Lunatic (plus the Extra stage.)

i don't know why this is a discussion because the only answer is battletoads

I know a guy who beat it over a weekend. Same guy has struggled with the SA Extra Stage for months.

I don't really know what the hardest game I've played is. The hardest game I've beaten would probably be Batman on NES. That stuff gets pretty insane by the end, and that Joker fight took me forever.

[Spooniest]

Hardest game I've ever beaten would probably be Ninja Gaiden on the NES.

Hardest game I've ever played? That's a tough one...the only FPS I've ever beaten was Goldeneye on the N64. I tried playing Doom but it was too hard for me.

The difficulty of a game depends on the player who is playing it. Some people are good at FPS's, some are better at a standard action game like Mario. I've noticed an increasing trend towards violent, gritty FPS's as time has worn on, and it really puts me off my soup, because I dislike a) graphic violence and b) FPS control schemes.

Hmmm, definitely an old school game. Something for the SNES probably so either UN Squadron or Super Ghouls and Ghosts. I've always wanted to try Ghosts and Goblins on the NES just to see if it's as hard as people say it is.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Ghosts and Goblins is pretty crazy. I definitely have an easier time with Super Ghouls and Ghosts. It could just be because Super Ghouls and Ghosts is just better designed though. Either way, they're both hard.

Hardest learning curve? X³. I just couldn't figure out what I was to do and/or how I was supposed to do it. With Dwarf Fortress at least I had fun deciphering it. With X³ it was just frustrating.

Agreed, although I followed a really good tutorial on YouTube and at least now I know how to trade.

I'm ashamed to admit to this day I cannot complete the Timon and Pumba level on The Lion King game, this topic has inspired me to give it another go though.

>>> Super Mario Bros..

I didn't even GET to the Timon and Pumba level on The Lion King game, assuming you're talking about the one that came out on Sega and such. Pocahontas was pretty freaking hard, too. Oh, and "A Bug's Life" for the PS One. I hated that game so much.

BIT.TRIP Runner. The first one. Try it on Perfect mode. I dare you.

Hardest Game I've ever beaten is probably Battletoads. Although it's not even so much a difficult game than it is a test of memorization. I know the game by heart now and could beat it anytime without breaking a continue.

There is Kaizo Mario 1, which I played until the midway point of Stage 3. I never beat the second half. I might try again someday.

[Formalhaut]

The Dynasty Warriors series on the hardest difficulty is pretty brutal, especially Dynasty Warriors 4. I don't know why, that game was more hard than the others!

[Depression Moon]

From recent memory Advance Wars.
