| Ultrashroomz said: One of the many great things about games is their difficulty. It pushes us to our limits, and makes us feel great when we accomplish those great feats. Sometimes however, a game goes too far, and we can experience things like a loss of patience, and frustration. What is the hardest game you've ever played? For me, it would have to be the original Castlevania on NES.
So many things make this game difficult, and are defining examples of "NES hard." You have bottomless pits, enemies with devastating damage output, clunky controls, and did I mention bottomless pits?
A runner up for me would probably be Dark Souls, but I felt like that once you sank enough time in Dark Souls (about 1-2 hours), it was fairly smooth sailing, with one or two exceptions. One's thing for sure, I didn't find Dark Souls nowhere near as punishing as Castlevania. |
Castlevania 1 hard? Noob. I get damaged at the location you posted as a shortcut.
Play Castlevania Chronicles. THAT's a hard Castlevania. The first one though? No.

lol, well hey, I just found the game hard, overall.
If you think it was easy, then great, you're better at Castlevania than me. 
"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
The game wasn't horrible, but getting 5-stars on Hector Hard Mode in Fire Emblem (7) was brutal. It took me an entire summer and like a million resets. *shivers*
If we're only talking about base difficulty though, probably one of the Souls games.

Damned impressive. The closest I can get to this is beating Ghouls n' Ghosts, which doesn't measure up.
i had some all night gaming sessions with Ninja gaiden 1-3. I think i spent about 7 hours straight playing the last level of Ninja Gaiden 1 before i beat it. I think i beat 2 a little bit easier. 3 i gave up after several tries because i had to keep starting over because of limited continues.
I beat ninja turtles on NES as a kid, though it's damn hard.
Ghouls and ghosts i beat after playing it for like 5 days straight.
Battletoads i spent a couple nights playing the entire night, and i couldn't beat it.
Castlevania 1 i beat after many many days of constant trying, i admit i beat it much later on the wii so i didn't have to leave my NES on forever. It's hard to say, but between the medusa heads and knights, doom, and final boss i spent a couple dozen hours i think.
Castlevania 2 is not hard, I dont' really understand this. Yes it's cryptic, but the gameplay is not that hard. The bosses are a joke, they are easy as hell.
Castlevania 3 is really hard, i admit i never beat it. I didn't try as many times as the first one.
Castlevania 1 may be the hardest, the thing is I think i played that same part over many hundreds of times.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

You think Bayou Billy was impossible (not as hard if you did the training missions and got the one up, life refill, and something else--can't remember). I thought Ghouls N Ghosts was waaaaaaaay harder! I never beat that one.
You have my respect, too!
From my past experiences, I would say Adventure Island for NES was pretty frustrating.
I used to hate games where you die with a single hit.
easily Ninja Gaiden on the NES
