Did anyone ever play Pursuit Force on the PSP?
That game was brutally difficult.

Some of those old games from the NES or even into the SNES era were just outright impossible. IIRC there was a Dennis The Menace game didn't have the final boss ready for the publishing deadline so they just put an impossible jump just before it so players couldn't get that far.
I hate hard games nowadays, but when I was a kid I had a high tolerance for them because that's pretty much all there was. I have a fondness for the Ghosts 'n Goblins series because it was part of my childhood, but I wouldn't give it the time of day if they came out now.
I've started to hate the term "Hardest".
Give me two months in Unity, and I can make a game that's "harder" than every game on any one of these lists. It would also be unplayable trash, that would prompt hundreds of "How the fuck are you supposed to XXX" responses due to obscurity. Part of what makes those listed games enjoyable is having a decent difficulty curve, compelling progression of skill demonstration, and a good feeling of reward. They're getting difficulty right.
Impossiblest? Difficulter? Most hard?
[NES] Sector Z, Goonies, and others would like a word [Atari] E.T. has entered the chat
Was ET actually difficult or just unclear how to progress? I swear I finished it when I was a kid but the amount of games I've finished in my life is extremely tiny, if things get too hard I just go play something else for awhile (looking at every stealth mission shoehorned into non stealth game). So maybe I just misremembered finishing it but I sure played it a lot before I got an NES.
If you managed to finish ET that'd put you in a club of one person I have met in person or online who has done it.
After reading a walkthrough I'm confident I beat at least one round of the game, heh, maybe I misinterpreted that for the game ending screen (he gets on the spaceship at the end of the round for those that don't know).. If there're no pits in the first round I believe I made it further than that at because I remember them well.
Though with my memory these days I'm happy when I leave work with everything I intended to so not saying it's completely accurate I mostly just remember ET getting on a ship.
Elden Ring isn't even the most difficult soulsborne game, by a longshot
Cuphead is easy. Ever tried Hotline Miami?
Battletoads would like a word
Idk if I'm finally getting old or the real nerds are hiding. Nobody in here knows about Nethack? At least someone said Dwarf Fortress.
NetHack makes most mortals cry. My bones files taunt me.
I played Nethack. I was overwhelmed by my anxiety and depression. I realised I was not good at video games. So I quit playing Nethack and swore to get good at video games before returning. Been, what, at least 15 years? I've gotten better I guess. Should I return? Soon, maybe.
(Seriously, though, roguelikes are still a genre I struggle with, so I do need practice!)
Have you tried pixel dungeon? It's kinda the same thing but dramatically easier and I've still never ascended. 🤣
Kinda the thing about it though is that what makes Nethack so good is how the devs thought of everything.
One time I died on turn zero failing to mount my horse and hitting my head on the stone stairs.
Yasd material right there.
Dang. I can't tag you "slime mold" because that's apparently a paid feature on my app. jdawson, is this what finally makes me switch apps?
Money that app person!
Hello from Voyager! It looks like it doesn't support tagging either. The voyage continues.
Hello from Enterprise.
Pay yo devs!

Reddit Sync is very expensive
Yeah I'll say...
I didn't mind TMNT.
What still gives me PTSD is Shadow Of The Beast 2. I was utterly clueless on how to beat that game as a child, and as an adult I can literally watch someone beat it, know what to do, and still fuck it up.
Silver Surfer for the NES is way harder than TMNT. It's possible, though I've never done it, to beat TMNT. AFAIK , Silver Surfer is actually possible to beat, but basically no one has done it.
