    Now out of my many years of gaming I've run into just a few games I have to say is the hardest game's I've ever played.
    Here's my list of hard games I've found.

    1. 7th Saga (SNES)
    2. Megaman (NES)
    3. Mario bros. 2 (NES)
    4. Battle toads (NES)

    Nightmare of Druaga - FD (PS2) has it's moments of "Oh shit here we go". It can get *extremely* difficult depending on many factors.
    Wizardry IV (appleII, PSX) is the hardest arbitrary CRPG ever. If you don't know what I mean by arbitrary then you've never played it.
    Nethack (and similar roguelikes) are all arbitrarily impossible as well.

    If you think those are hard NES platformers you should check out Blaster Master.

    Looks like fun. I'll see about trying in the morning.

    I didn't even know about the Nightmare of Druaga game. I'm so going to try to get that! *Love's RPG's*

    Mario Bros. 2 was easy for me. Earlier MegaMan games were hard though.

    Many of the games that Angry Video Game Nerd reviewed. A lot of those shitty games were hard.

    I suggest you check out a gameplay video on youtube first. Although you can probably find used copies of it for under $5, it's not a typical JRPG or strategy, game.
    For the wizardry games (1-5) on psx, they were never released outside Japan so you'd need an emulator with the spch1000 bios. These are fully playable in English once you first find the appropriate options in the Japanese menus (move the first 4 options to the right character.).
    Roguelikes are free on the webs.

    I'll post more later. I've played lots of em.

    Milon's Secret Castle on NES. I really enjoyed this game but could not get very far.

    Ninja Gaiden 1 and 3 is harder. I'll provide a list of the hardest I played and beat in a Top 10 order.

    10: Ghost n' Goblins for NES
    9: Contra for NES
    8: Super C for NES
    7: Ninja Gaiden 2 for NES
    6: Castlevania for NES
    5: Ninja Gaiden 3 for NES
    4: Ninja Gaiden for NES
    3: Battletoads for NES
    2: Guitar Hero 3 on expert difficulty

    And finally, in the number 1 position. Based on the hours I punched in, and the gameover screens I saw, and the seemingly impossible tasks, it would go to Ninja Gaiden Black for XBox in it's hardest difficulty setting Master Ninja mode. For those sick twisted types that like a challenge. This is by far the hardest.

    I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Touhou (PC) yet. That series is downright insane! It can take months of constantly playing just beat Normal mode in any of the games (bar 9, which is easy in comparison) without using continues, required to unlock the Extra Stages (Which are even harder). The closest I got to beating the Normal modes w/o continues was at the final spellcard of the final boss in Perfect Cherry Blossom (Touhou 7) and second spellcard of the final boss in Subterranean Animism (Touhou 11).I would post vids, but posting from a 3DS sucks.
    The Legend of Zelda: Zelda's Last Wish.
    Progress: 99% complete. (Overworld: 100%, Dungeons: 99% overall).
    ETA: Pending.
    Beta/Demo: Out now!
