Tl;dr: I'll add up your votes and post a new thread with the results after this one winds down.

Here's my vote: Ghosts N' Goblins is probably the hardest game (hardest for me to win) that I still enjoy.

BattleToads! Even Super Meat Boy and I wanna be The Guy can`t beat it in difficulty!

I mean, do you remember this Tunnel Race Stage? or This one?
You just watched those videos and Thought> "If he can do this I can do it too!!!", Heck NO! Well, you can do it, but after few bazillions of deaths!

Before First PC Emulators for Nes we played these games on good-old consoles without endless saves and had to replay same levels multiply times, death after death, from the beginning before achieving success and hitting that Godly checkpoint! God, How Delightful it was after thousands of deaths, at last, you memorized the positions of all those barrels, walls,springboards, laser field and rockets!

If I knew all those easy ways to finish levels I`d have saved shit-load of time! But as I love to say, True Pleasure Comes only after endless Sufferings!

I barely tried the Commandos series, but it seemed really hard and reviews seem to agree. Maybe it's not as bad as it seems.
