Ninja Gaiden was a bitch to beat. A small room, a macho bandanna clad bad guy, and a noob at the helm was a recipe for ownage. I swear the devs wanted us to suffer.

I spent the entire 16 hour plane ride between California and France trying to get past that crab thing in Sonic 2. I went through 3 packs of AA batteries.

I never won :(

I think it was Tomb Raider III, but the first thing you do is have to slide down a hill while dodging various traps... and it is so tough. I knew some some people who picked up this game due to the Tomb Raider hype, and never got past this point.

The entire Ninja Gaiden game was incredibly difficult. I cursed Alma's name many times.

I love the excrutiating equations. Especially Mega Man 9.

The first level of this article, consisting of looking at your mustache, was the hardest thing I have ever faced.

What about Back to the Future or Top Gun? Man those games were hard. I think that the NES was king of games that started hard and stayed impossible.

Ninja Gaiden is a Great game but its true if you can beat the first boss the rest are like an after thought, by the time you face a boss with any difficulty you have enough ninpo and weapons that its childs play.

Pretty good article but ithink they missed a few, like the first ninja gaiden for nintendo you got to make every jump perfect while avoiding some flying enemies, the bosses are a real challenge and on top of that you had to finish the game without continue.. but i got to admit when i finally saw the ending it totally worth all the weeks of gameplay and frustration

Warrior Within? I nearly stopped playing the game because of the first boss on the ship. Is a brilliant game yet that was a terrible first level.

Wow...So true, so true.
Even if it's just an indie game, the Touhou series' first levels are hard. Hell, the whole game's hard. D:
But it's one of those 'Oh god, is the whole game gonna be like this?' games.

I know Mile High Club is the last level of COD4, but couldnt it have been like a runner up or add on? That thing was freaken hard to beat. It probably took me nearly 50 tries, and i got the to terrorist guy with maybe 2 or 3 seconds left. And executed that son of a b**ch
