    Not sure if mega man x was for snes but that one definitely ranks up there.

    I actually don't think it's that hard, you just need to know where the upgrades are.

    once you get them the game becomes a peace of cake


    as for the question: I'd name contra hardcorps, now THAT game was hard

    Hard Corps really isn't very hard, just requires some practice.

    Battletoads, Gaiares, Hellfire, and Eternal Champions are truly nasty games, in Eternal Champions you get sent back 2 stages everytime you lose, and you only get one match against the horrible last boss, lose it and its instant game over.

    SEGA GEN/MD

    Gaiares

    Truxton (at least for me)

    Streets of Rage 3 ( At least the American version)

    Hellfire

    Phantasy Star II (Maybe not today but man...)

    SNES

    Hagane

    Super Adventure Island

    Final Fight ( More unfair really)

    Cybernator

    Batman Returns (A little cheap)

    My own opinions based on the games I have played. There are other dificult games around, but these stood out to me.

    Earthworm Jim on the genesis, the game itslef wasnt all that difficult at all but one level (the glass ball/submarine) was so frustratingly difficult its a wonder i have hair at all left.

    Basically it involved piloting a glass ball submarine type thing through a level with rocks all the way through and the only control u had was to turn the thrusters in fifferent directions and thrust or not. The ball would crack with each touch until it shattered and you had to do the whole thing again and again and agian and agai............

    For me this was one of the all time most difficult things in any videogame i ever played and i never did beat it without using cheat codes for invincibility. The rest of the game was fine but that one level i'll never forget aslong as i live......

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Super Ghosts N Goblins on the SNES. I wanted to throw my controller through the window EVERY time I played that game when I was a kid.

    Then again, you could say that for pretty much any arcade port that came down the pipeline. Arcade machines were made to be quarter eaters, after all.

    War has changed. Our time has ended. There is one more thing I must do. One more punishment that I must endure. Erase my genes, wipe the meme off the face of the earth.

    This.... is my final mission.

    "CastleVania Dracula X" on SNES and "CastleVania Bloodlines" gave me fits in the later levels, never managed to beat either of those.

    and I wholeheartedly agree with "Super Ghouls and Ghosts".

    and needless to say, pretty much most shmups (Musha, R-Type III, etc)
