VOTE! What's the hardest game you still love? Choose ONE please.

SUPER MEAT BOY

SUPER MEAT BOY. Hardest game ever. Look at the leaderboards and see how many people finished all the levels.

CONTRA??? um, maybe at first, but once you get good at it, let's put it this way, on original nintendo, we could beat it, WITHOUT using the 30 lives code...yeap.. would die like twice the whole game. in fact, We'd usually play def leppards pyromania, and during the snow level, the big tank thing would always roll up right when that huffy voice on "Animal" would say, "HUUH HUUH HUH.... ANIMAAAL"

CastleVania 64 by far.

Faxanadu

Super Meat Boy, although in the end, it wasn't love at all.

Dizzy! oh the time spent on it :)

F-zero GX is freakin' awesome

Dark Souls and Demon Souls but i did not find them hard

Dark Souls

devil may cry for me

Damn you, Castlevania

Super Meat Boy, without a doubt. Dark Souls really isn't all that hard. If you have trouble with it, it's usually because you're not paying attention and/or you're being lazy. i.e. not reading item descriptions or upgrading your weapons/armor.

I'd say add Gauntlet 1 for the NES to the list. I would always freaking die on like level 96 or 97 or some shit because the monsters would become so fast & furious and spawn like crazy from those damn generators. Never could make it to level 100.

Ninja Gaiden and Ghosts 'N' Goblins were tough but doable. Battletoads on the other hard was just plain infuriating. With stuff like the speeder bike and snake levels it was more about memorization than skill (or even reaction time).

Blaster Master for the NES. I have yet to beat that game without use of save states on an emulator or Game Genie on the actual NES. One of my favorite games of all time, but jeez.

Super meat boy

Alex Kidd in Miracle World.
Not too hard, but the second half is unforgiving - especially if you miss something small halfway through.

The game of Real Life. It's so hard, that those who beat it are forced into secrecy of not being able to tell anybody else how to beat it! That's why people are still waiting for walkthroughs.

Think I'll go with Super Meat Boy!

Super Mario Bros

Ghost N' Goblins definitely.

Oh please. "I wanna be the guy", "I wanna be the boshy". Both will turn your life to hell

Dark Souls

Super fucking meat boy.
