Fuck those games, I have beaten all of them now though at least
Young kids will never understand the struggle we had. What other near impossible games to beat can you think of? |

Try to 100% Mario world games the last 6-7 years including the special levels. Nintendo hard is still a thing.
I gave up trying to beat one of the special levels after 3-4 months of trying. |

Ninja Gaiden final boss produced more than a few broken controllers in my youth.

In defense of Simon's Quest it was only hard because it was stupidly esoteric thanks to botched localization. You could steam-roll the actual gameplay, the problem was when the game needed you to do something specific but it wasn't communicating what you needed to do clearly.
Meanwhile glitchy ass Ninja Gaiden would cheap shot you off a cliff every chance it could get. |

View Quote Out of all of them I would say Megaman X6 was the most annoying, it was all fine and dandy until you get to the last stage to get to the final boss. The last stage with bullshit, so many instant death sections and requiring an absolute precise twitch finger control to maneuver around, after that then you have to deal with the second FaZe of Sigma which is also a pain in the ass |

the jetbike stage on Battletoads made me rage-quit so many times as a kid

It's important that we distinguish early in this thread between fair and unfair difficulty.
Then there's difficult, but only because the game is so janky that knowing how to avoid crashing the thing is the real challenge. Deadly Towers, for example. Lastly, there was difficult, but only because you couldn't save it, and trying to ride the edge of performance for 2+hrs is a different kind of difficulty. Jackal Pretty much all the old games were difficult in some way, generally far more difficult than things today. Again, not always for the same reason. The world needs a new F-Zero, though. |

The chocobo race in FFX to get Tidus' epic weapon on Xbox One/PS4 is fucking ridiculous.
It wasn't too hard back on PS2 but something got messed up in the translation to the latest gen consoles. I had probably 30 hours in it trying to beat it with no luck, plus a smashed Xbox controller. I finally got my brother to come do it for me. I thought Castlevania 1 and 3 were a lot harder than Simon's Quest, but were better games. |

View Quote Check out this mod that fixes a lot of bs. "Rom Hacks" are kosher here right? Battletoads was fun but that bike part was lame, especially with 2 players. Gaiden is just insane, and Castlevania 2 I have mixed feelings about. |

I could get pretty far in Battletoads but never beat it.
Also Megaman X4 was the best Megaman X. |

Of those, the only 1 to ever give me trouble was ninja garden. As a kid I loved all those games. I picked up 1 of those nes classics when it came out and OMG! Wtf happened. I couldnt get past the 1st left on a few games.

Simons Quest was only hard because they gave no clue that you had to kneel with the orb to get bast the mountain. I somehow figured it out on my own without Nintendo Power but lots of frustration and WTFs

Battletoads kicks my ass still. Fuck the Turbo Tunnel. That and I always had to play it two player so it devolved into getting hit by my cousins or younger brother.
Ninja Gaiden games were my bitch until the Xbox version came out and handed my ass to me... |

I own a Ninja Gaiden arcade machine. If you ever want to be angry at the world, just swing by and I'll set the dip switches to full soul crushing mode (1 life, fewest energy bars, highest difficulty).

Maybe it's because I grew up with it but Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is one of the easiest in the whole series. Of all the older Castlevania games on the NES, it was definitely the easiest. It was no Ninja Gaiden, Metroid, Zelda 2 the Adventure of Link, Battle Toads, Contra, Contra 2, Dragon Lair NES, Karate Kid, Marble Madness, Snake Rattle and Roll, or any of the other "NES Hard" games.
Different strokes for different folks. Simon's Quest was definitely one of the more confusing. I can see why some one going in fresh without help would think it's a hard game. Why do I need to sit on a piece of garlic with a jewel equipped to traverse the map? |

Fucking impossible... If you have a NES emulator try it... There was a YouTube video of some guys trying to beat it. Mildly entertaining. |

The first time I ever rage quit a game, was probably 30 years ago.
Fuck you NES, and fuck you Top Gun! More recently... PS4 Spiderman, and the city chase of the Shocker made me break my controller. I Primed a second one that arrived today. |

Playing Castlevania II Simon's Quest right now.
My controller tossing, falsetto screaming game was Xenophobia |

TMNT. The underwater electric seaweed levels. View Quote Old NES games were notorious for not telling you what to do next. 1942 and 1943 would drive me mad, getting shot by some random shit. Same with Jackal, finally get your Jeep all ready for war and some cheap shot wipes you out, and no more POWs to save. |
