Most Challenging Video Games You Know Of

[AdvocateTDV]

Alright, I'm trying to compile a list of the most challenging video games - so a bit of help would be good. I like it when things are impossible.

Super R-Type (SNES) is one of the first games that comes to mind...

Any platform is welcome.

 

[TonyB]

Most challenging? Missile command. Once you get past the first couple of boards, it turns into a nightmare. Defender comes in second for me. Another tough one is (was) Qix.

But if you're talking about video games designed in the last 15 years, I have no idea.

 

[TokyopunK]

Kid Icarus - NES
Almost every Mega Man game for the DS

 

[LuckyR]

Many never finished MechCommander1 for PC

 

[str33t]

Fighting the boss of Gears of War on Insane mode was challenging. Took me a while lol.

 

[DRtenniS1112]

Battle Toads-NES SOOOOOOOOOO HARD
Metal Slug-Arcade
Original Splinter Cell-XBox/PS2
Jet Force Gemini-N64 (maybe cuz i was young but i remember not beating it)
Ghose Recon-PC

What could be more frustrating?

 

[Noveson]

Ninja Gaiden on Master Ninja, or the Hurricane packs, now THAT is damn hard. Gears of War insane was no where near Halo on Legendary, legendary took me a long time to beat.

No way, that game was easy.

Super R-type can get pretty tricky especially deep into the game where there are like 5 million things shooting at you, but it is sort of balanced out by the advanced weapons and shields you get at that point.

OMG A HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! That would be a nightmare.

 

[theRadical]

Resident Evil on Gamecube. wow

 

[AdvocateTDV]

WHAT? You mean Resident Evil 4? Eh. IMHO, I tore that game up. But, I have heard people that say the Resident Evil series is challenging.

Now that I think about it, R-Type's challenge factor does get balanced out by the advanced weaponry.

Now, if you want to see something that looks impossible, go to You Tube and do a search for "Gradius V High Loop" and you'll see what it means to be good a side-scrolling shooters.

 

[AdvocateTDV]

Haha! Ninja Gaiden - good call. Those Ninja Gaiden games were always just tough.

Gosh, now I'm gonna go look for that ROM so I can get beat again...

 

[goober]

I only play games against real opponents. So how tough my game is depends on who I am playing- just like in tennis

The original Excitebike from Nintendo. I can't pass stage seven. I did pass in the original video game...paying with my quarters...but now in my mac with MacMame...impossible. Pac Man is very hard as well (I just learned a pattern though jejeje). And I was terrible back in the late 70's with Space Invaders.

 

[ibemadskillzz]

starcraft, counter strike, winning eleven 2007

Pur3 MaYheM if u want to play netime..

[JohnS]

Battle Toads-NES SOOOOOOOOOO HARD
Metal Slug-Arcade
Original Splinter Cell-XBox/PS2
Jet Force Gemini-N64 (maybe cuz i was young but i remember not beating it)
Ghose Recon-PC

AGREED, that level where you have to run down within a time limit to kill the bomb while baddies are trying to stop you... Nearly impossible with two players at a time.

TMNT the first was kinda hard.

They dont make games these days like they used to, it was more challenging back then, especially on the NES.

 

[KingOfTennis]

i rekon it was splinter celll. God dammit i just cannot resist shooting and if u do the alarm goes off and u fail ur mission. Its soo god damn annoying. Also every1 says ninja gaiden? on xbox was really hard.

 

[Fedfan4life]

Rainbow Six Vegas on Realistic............. anyone up to the challenge?

 

[edmondsm]

There was no more challenging game than Mario 2 for original Nintendo.

 

[Athans87]

Ikaruga on any mode other than easy.

Contra wasnt an easy game -- I needed the code myself, but the hardest? I dont know ...

Commandos: beyond the call of duty is pretty hard, but still a very fun game. one of my all-time favorites. Age of Empires 2, best RTS ever : D

 

[Voltron]

starcraft, counter strike, winning eleven 2007

Counter Strike was easy for me back when I played it. (Xbox though) What's the highest online rank you achieved? I know mine was fairly high for a while.

 

[jamumafa]

Medievil 2 on Playstation.

Dayum that was hard

 

[dave333]

Halo on legendary was an absolute beast.

starcraft is pretty easy.

I thought Devil May Cry was just more dumb and frustrating that hard, if that makes sense. Instead of the AI being really hard, the AI just had dumb advantages, I think they could've thought of better ways to make it hard.

By the way, Ninja Gaiden on Master Ninja dominates everything else.

No offense, but the competition difference for CS on the PC and the Xbox is huge. Not only is the PC community probably 10x (100x?) larger, almost all the serious leagues and and major events for money were on the PC.

 

[dave333]

legend of zelda ocarina was such a hard game with no guide....water temple gave me nightmares.

 

[ibringtheHEAT]

Anyone up for a TTW Halo 2 clan?

 

[hoons]

pong. need i say more?
