Most difficult games of all time!

[Hawklet]

Doom on Nightmare. The AI cheats.

[Hoover]

Maybe not the toughest, but I think the only NES game I had that I never beat was TMNT (the original).

[MikeSmith]

halo2 on its hardest level is damn near impossible, i made it to 4 checkpoints i think

Almost any text adventure is retarded. It's not even like "okay we have an apple, a candlestick, a piece of gum, cow turds, and silly string - now how do we open this box?" That would be easy.

It's random crap like "oh I see, I had to go stand in the Courtyard and randomly type 'yell at the bird' so that he comes and flies me to his nest".

I love these. I was gonna post them here but they're easy enough to YouTube. His review of TMNT is my favorite since I spent countless hours on that god forasaken game when I was a young kid.

Back to the Future for NES isn't actually that hard, I've beaten it non-emulated.

The Infocom games, at least, were pretty good at not having these stupid "guess the verb" type puzzles, etc., and most of them gave you enough in-game info to win.

There were still a few, though (Spellbreaker comes to mind) that I can't imagine more than 1% of people finishing w/o hints, though. At least I played these in the good old days when one couldn't just Google a walkthru in a moment of weakness...you'd have to go to the trouble of buying/ordering a hint book, etc., so there was more motivation to actually figure it out.
