This is a simple question: What are some of the hardest games that you've ever played?

My Top Ten goes something like this:

1. Contra (NES)

2. Battletoads (NES)

3. Ninja Gaiden (NES)

4. Mike Tyson's Punchout (NES)

5. Kid Icarus (NES)

6. Ghouls 'n Ghosts series (NES, Genesis, SNES)

7. Super Mario Brothers: The Lost Levels (NES, SNES)

8. Castlevania (NES)

9. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)

10. Original Megaman series(NES)

Honorable Mentions: F-Zero series (SNES, N64, GC), Super Star Wars series (SNES), Viewtiful Joe (GC, PS2), Pikmin (GC), Legend of Zelda (NES)

How does your list go?

original Zelda

well some of the hardest are (in no order)
DMC3,NGB,gouls and goblins,REmake,viewtiful joe

1. Maximo

I forgot about REmake. That game was really hard. Still haven't beaten it.

also i cant believe i forgot LOZ:ALTTP and SMB3

Well I do not have an expansive library.

I can't find any game difficult anymore though. Even the so called hardest missions on the "too hard" game of Trauma Center: New Blood were easy.

Commandos Series - very very hard. Specially Commandos 3,
can't even finish a single campaign.

Super Monkey Ball 2

F Zero GX story mode, I will never ever be able to beat that no matter how hard I try.
