What would you say is the hardest game you have ever played? For me its gauntlet, that game is practically impossible to beat, you could spend a hundred hours on it and not even beat it.

hey, I actually have that game. I'd have to agree that it's impossible to beat, but that's because my old NES would freeze up after the first 15 minutes...

Too funny, I just started playing that with my daughter last weekend (with MAME on a PC). I still remember some marathons from my college days - five or six hours pumping quarters into that machine in lieu of studying. Oh, and to the question:  |

I would have to say:  Back in the day, I tried over and over and over and over to get past one stage of this evil game (pretty sure it was a racing stage where you were forced to side-scroll at a constant rate) to no avail. There was no learning curve to this game; it was a learning cliff. Plus there were only 3 continues, so if you couldn't get it done (and chances are--you couldn't) then it was back to the beginning to experience the torture (er, fun) all over again.

My candidate: (drum roll please) Drakken (SNES). Hard because it sucked, or sucked because it was hard? Hmm... Quote:

If Defender could actually be beat, I nominate it as the hardest coin-op of the early days. Unless you happened to have a head-to-head with a twelve-year-old on Mortal Kombat... that was always a recipe for disaster for me. "Finish Him!" And I'd say Athena was the hardest game on the NES. At least the titles y'all mentioned adhered to the laws of logic. Athena, on the other hand, must have been powered by a mytho-poetic engine. I wonder if there are any classicists among us who penetrated the orphic mysteries of this game. Stand up and be counted. |

ATHENA! One of the worst of the worst NES games of all time. If you find this game, give it to someone you hate. You would be hard pressed to find crappier programming logic on any platform... truly mytho-pathetic powered!

lol. Hate to dissapoint you, I'm not a Potter fan, more a Back to the Future fan who thought the Potter heads were humorous. Well, I'm a slight fan. I've watched some of the movies and have read some of the books.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 766. Not only difficult, but extremely frustrating for perfectionists who want to keep everyone alive.
