Nadir, since I don't know you or your gaming habits, but I liked Frost 2 so much, I'm giving you... a 2. BUT ONLY BECAUSE OF FROST 2.

castlevania 1 and 3 are pretty hard.

Clash at Demonhead isn't that hard actually if you just buy the good weapons and the jetpack, but I guess for someone who's never played it that game would be hard.

actually the game itself isn't so bad, but the bosses are just SO DIFFICULT

Yeah, they're hard, but use the thundershot and have a full food supply and they're not so bad.

EDIT: Also, I downloaded that Summer Carnival game. I can get to the second stage without dying, but then I get fucked up :(. Pretty fun game, I will try getting past the second stage.

Pocky and Rocky isn't too hard, so I nominate the Mega Man Zero series in its place. S rankings are a royal pain in the ass.

Most games I've consider hard are games with total crap gameplay, and who-the-fok-playtest-this controls. Other then that some hard games are pretty easy.

Battletoad is fricken nuts, getting you doing all kinds of junk like a darn obstical course and insta kill everywhere(snake level is awesome). And with limited continues too. Game was cool by the way, and still can't hardly believed they made a cartoon for it.

Dragon's lair for nes was retarded, and a good example of a game done while drunk. Your player is well animated frame by frame for a nes game but to bend over or turn around takes a century, because you have to wait til the animation is done, and by that time some snake would have lob a baseball that'll kill you instantly. In a matter of fact, EVERYTHING kills you nearly instantly. and if you throw too many weapons, you kill over

. If you don't walk along with a platform, you fall and die.
And once you get to the end, too many things going on on the screen with the final boss, the nes won't hardly show all the insta kill projective being thrown at you,... on top of waiting on damn dirk to finish standing up and the benting of the knees to jump and shit. Had good laughs at it though

.

3d world runner I don't have to improvise, other then toward that final level you running at neck crack fujita speed down god knows what and why the hell for and be jumping on fire pillow over cassoms. That game ain't right.

Anyway, hard games are most desired by game ninjas back in da day, and hardly some out now.

Oh MAN. I never did beat this game. I gave up after getting a few game overs at the underwater stage after the boss battle in the first world. Having to start the entire game over when I just needed to practice one part became too frustrating.

I would also add to this list: Double Dribble (when playing against the celtics. The celtics make every shot).

Marble Madness (genesis) I always ran out of time at the very end of the last level where the platforms constantly change.

I had a really hard time with sonic and knuckles, but I was never very good at the sonic games. The time limits always freaked me out. Actually, the same goes for ecco the dolphin. Having a limited supply of air (especially in underwater caves) scared me. *chills* Yea, that game scares me more than shivers did when I was eight.

note: the ones i listed are games that are hard but fun. if a game is hard but no fun to play i won't bother with it for long!

i forgot all about mega man zero. i managed to get a way into that but then i stopped.

dragon's lair was terrible, the only reason it's of any worth is because of the don bluth animation which was HOLY SHIT INCREDIBLE in 1986

here is another hard game: another world/out of this world (i can't be bothered to play this without savestates, it's not worth it)
here is a game that is not hard: syonen ashibe (snes)

Megaman Zero is easy so long as you know what weapon to fight with which boss.

But yeah it takes me a few hours to get through the very beginning stages of each game in the series.

is the answer Darius?

Maybe I'll download Zero, although I'm currently playing through like 20 games.

The best thing to do with impossible games is watch speedruns.

I've seen one for Clash at Demonhead and Out of This World before.

A lot of times if they're short enough they'll be on youtube.

Ryan knows all about tool-assisted speedruns.

Clash at Demonhead is there, not an impossible game :(, I played through it again earlier this year.
