I forget which platform it was, but one version of that TMNT game was literally impossible because someone fucked up the distance of a jump in one of the sewer levels, making it an impossible jump to make.
I had it on PC as a kid and it was hard enough just reading the codes out of the booklet using that piece of red cellophane to get the fucker to start up lol
I never could defuse all the bombs at the dam.
It's s one of my biggest regrets from childhood. Right up there with the rest of my early traumas that have guided my life in major and subtle ways.
Sorry about the PTSD, but....
I need to find an emulated version of this. Mine was faulty and always glitches as soon as you finished this stage so I never got to see neyond it for more than a few seconds. I've always wondered what was there!
Solomon's Key was the OG escape room puzzle game. The creators must have had so much designing all those rooms while laughing at the future me dying and restarting over and over.
R.C. PRO-AM brought it to a new level. It was really difficult, but super rewarding to progress to new phases of the later levels. They kept introducing new elements as you progressed. That was so much fun.
This was certainly the hardest part of the game due to the controls, but it still pales in comparison to actually difficult games of the era that were designed to take quarters first, provide gameplay later
Oh yeah, for sure. Ghosts'n Goblins comes to mind.
Duck Hunt anyone. I think I got to middle 20s level. I hate that dog for mocking me on my last death level.
I remember the angry video game nerd playing this…and the end of the video got me. It’s frustrating just to watch.
Edit: Should clarify I’m not talking about his crazy rant at the actual end just the conclusion of that jump scene.
No one has died of dysentery I guess…
I have done this so many times...
The hardest game is probably just a random game that no one knows about
I would like to submit this game as the hardest one
I found Bartman Meets Radioactive Man in Game Gear to be terribly difficult, mostly because of the controls. I think I got to the 3rd or 4th world once, but it was a struggle.
Lion King on SEGA Genesis?
Takeshi's Challenge?
Dragon's Lair?
Ninja Gaiden?
Marble Madness?
Battletoads?
Fuckin battletoads. WAY harder than turtles.
Oh good, it wasn't just me then.
I guess I'm the only one who remembers E.T. for Atari?
Never played it but I thought it's mainly known for being a terribly bad game. Or is it bad because it's too hard?
It's fucking tedious, it's win conditions are nearly impossible, and it's controls suck. You have to collect phone pieces in a pit and then find and stand in an unmarked tile for an undeclared amount of time with no enemies on the screen to win and the win screen doesn't even differentiate itself from the lose screen. Speedrun with no glitches is under a minute. It's length of gameplay is purely designed on the fact that it's just a badly made game.
Devil Daggers?
Ghosts n Goblins say what?
Right? The studio behind it openly admitted that Ghost and Goblins was made to be a quarter eater at arkades.. it was built to be unbeatable
“Finally beat it!… wait, what do you mean I have to do it all over again on a harder difficulty with the weakest weapon?!”
Ghosts n' Goblins
Milon's Secret Castle
I'm sure I could think of more if I tried, but my PTSD has repressed the memories...
I did eventually manage to beat TMNT however the NES game I never managed to beat was Ghosts 'n Goblins.
To be fair I never got to play Battletoads back then so idk how it compares.
Forgot battletoads exists I guess
That turtles game wasnt even that fun there were better turtles games to play on the nes and snes
Battletoads on the other hand was quite fun but then that jump on the speeder level always made it near impossible. So you were always discouraged that you would get stuck on that level. Or like one time I made the jump but then had to go and my parents turned it off...like battletoads was not that difficult if you made that jump but man was it hard to.
That final hallway in TMNT is crazy.
I grew up with nes and had no idea till I got older that this turtles level was so notorious. I first started playing when I was like 6 so I managed to get good even in the water level. Also managed to beat the Battletoads speeder level a bunch of times.

Thanks for the PTSD flashback. It was delightful.
