    So, Out of all the games you have played, All any console, What is the hardest game you have played?
    Me personally, It's a tie between 3. Battletoads, Ghost and Goblins, And Ninja Gaiden. How about you?

    True. They are hard ones. Battletoads is harder with 2 players which i found odd. And I'm pretty good at mega man. But QUICKMAN'S STAGE IS HARD AS HELL!

    Quickman is easy.

    Seriously it's Mega Man 2.

    Played or beat? Because Robowarrior was a bastard.

    Well, Ghosts n Goblins, Ninja Gaiden, and Battletoads were previously mentioned. I'll add Bayou Billy.

    Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, and Zelda II hands down. They all make me want to break my NES controller in half, and yet they're still very fun...

    Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads, X-Com.

    Seriously though, Demons Souls and Dark Souls. Seriously.

    Batman Returns for the Atari Lynx is pretty hard. You only get one life, no continues, and there are a ton of enemies attacking you at all times. I've only been able to make it half way through the second level.

    Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden are not really that hard, IMO. I second Chakan. I'd also say that Turrican, the first one, is pretty insane. None of the sequels are that difficult.

    Thinking back to 8-bit computer gaming, there were so many brutal ones: Fist II, Cybernoid, Zamzara, the last boss of Barbarian, etc.. Most of the usual NES games people list are cakewalks in comparison.

    There are harder games on NES than the ones people usually mention. It seems like people tend to bring up games that are actually decent (TMNT, Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads, etc.). If you want really hard NES games, look at the shit. Like, Cobra Command, that game is ridiculous.

    Ah, one of my favorites and one I've completed many, many times. The trick to Robowarrior is that you really can't afford to die, not even once, since it halves your inventory. Toward the end of the game you need those lanterns or mega bombs or multiple rafts (for that one stage that is completely flooded at the end and the key is inside a block that takes like five bombs to destroy). You also need to keep healthy item levels across the board constantly via the underground areas. In the last playthrough I did, I died due to a stupid mistake somewhere around the third to last stage. Luckily I had a massive enough stock of items that I didn't have to reset. I still say it would have worked great as an arcade game where you had a single life and could buy-in additional lives. The Bomberman spin-off that desperately needs a remake!

    Battletoads is just poorly designed, a bunch of interesting ideas that don't work together. Ghosts 'n Goblins, while extremely challenging, requires determination and patience but it can be powered through once you get the hang of how things work in the game. Ninja Gaiden doesn't get hard until the end. The US release of Ninja Gaiden III, on the other hand, is just stupidly difficult.

    Arcade versions of Tiger Road and Trojan, the madness of never ending spawns of enemies never stop.
