I was playing on DBZ and i can not beat Raditz, he is hard, well i am just crap but that is not the point, i thought to myself, what is the hardest every game?
I couldn't really think i mean i get stuck on a few but i couldn't think of one that stuck out really.
Can any of you? MOH:F is difficult but not impossible, can you think of any?

Bunch of novices.
The real tough games were on the NES.
No saving on 90% of the games, and some insane difficulty levels. I think one of the hardest games ever was Dungeon Quest, or was it Dragon Quest, where making some jumps required pixel perfect accuracy, and if you died after 3 attempts at a level it was game over (with no passcodes or saving).
Those games owned all of yours in the difficulty stakes.

Heh, perhaps they made the american version easier. Us Europeons are the best gamers and demand harder games. Or at least thats the vibe i'm getting when Konami put the europeon extreme setting on MGS2.

New Zealand Story on the Amiga 500

I'm with you on this one mate. These new games cant live with the old (s)nes ones like the early zeldas, castlevanias and metroids. I adored maniac mansion too, but i never got past the first level of bart vs the mutants simpsons game.

hell yeah.
Maniac Mansion rocked. I loved that game. Spent countless hours trying to convince the blue faced boy that I was on his side. And pulling the secret brick in the dungeon. ahhh.
And the Bart vs the Space mutants first level needed cherry bomb accuracy on the first level if I remember. I think I got to the third level once, then I died and got peed off and gave up.
Maniac Mansion... boy would I love to play that again.

I've got it in my attic, along with my other NES games
The NES itself is downstairs, with a light gun and duck hunt because that still rules.
I'll probably fish out Maniac mansion and play it tomorrow.
Weird Ed rules.
but I always wanted to microwave his hamster.

Does anyone remember that game where you're in a hi tech car and you go to level 1, beat the boss and then you get a new item that would enable you to drive up walls to get in higher levels. It was on the NES and thats all i can remember.
Another game was Icicle Cubicle. That was rock solid although it did have a password system.

The hardset game I can think of was called Sir Fred (I think) on the Spectrum.
It was a side-scrolling platformer, and along with the usual unresponsive controls that accompanied all old games, there were objects blocking your path in either direction that you just couldn't jump over. So after the initial 2 minutes of play, it was VERY difficult to continue.
I've still got chunks of hair missing from when I tore them out over that darn game.
