wow you missed all the hard games like zelda a link form the past, majoras mask took me days just to understand and super metriod was also very hard but majoras mask should definatly be number one hands down.

I developed an indie retro game called Gravity Core (www.suisoft.co.uk/gravitycore). I get a lot of folks saying it's too hard... What do you think?

Man am I getiin old, I played most of these games and even managed to beat a few.Sky shark and kingdom hearts 2 were frustrating, controller strangling games. And what about some of the tomb radier series? Stinkin Laura Croft

Sweet, didn't expect Ninja Gaiden to be #1 cuz it was a game I actually beat on the list lol. I only beat a few like God of War and some others, but most of those games i never even beaten.

No game will ever be harder than Toy Story for the Super Nintendo. Like two levels in it becomes so unbelievably hard...I still get angry at that game to this day lol For a supposed kids game, based on a Disney movie....hardest game I've ever played.
