hardest game NOT ffx
Hardest Game of all time

There are way harder games than ffx, try beating ffvii 100% (the actual game isn't that hard but emerald and ruby weapons are rediculous). Also try metal slug series on one credit, kickles cubicle (NES, not sure w/spelling), or any of the aero fighters. 2D side scrollers (like metal slug) are generally far harder than other types, typically because the amount of timing and foresight in executing jumping(don't confuse this with platformers (mario types). Shinobi for ps2 was also VERY difficult.

Hardest game of all time is the original Mario for the Nintendo. You couldn't believe the impossible you actually have to do!

[Saint_Michael]

Well the reason it was hard game to beat because of hte last level, and that maze granted thanks to an emulator, a image of that maze, I finally beat the game a few years ago. The problem with Nintendo games is that there was no way to save the game for most of them. Granted they introduced passwords, and early forms of gaming saving techniques, but now if you get yourself a nice emulator, you can save all you want now, just have ot be able to master the controls on your computer in order to beat some of these games now.

According to me the hardest game was for me god of war. Its a game on playstation and i finished it in 6 months after grueling hours of playing it. I played it day long. I hated the tapping part that came because i was not so good in tapping. After all it is a game that needs alot of brain to complete all the mazes.

I haven't exactly played any games older than GBC (Gameboy Color) and I must say that games appear to be growing more and more easier with every passing year. I notice how some people may have said that Final Fantasy X was a hard game. In my opinion, FFX in comparison to the older FFIV (not EasyGame) was extremely easy. Oh, did I mention that a lot of games are getting shorter as well?

At least it compensates by giving us improved sounds, gameplay and graphics...

I always found the Metal Gear Solid games extremely hard for some reason, it's either just me or the controls are wonky.

I love God hand, was a fairly difficult game especially the end boss took me a while but I eventually beat it.

Final Fantasy X isn't really a difficult RPG, more time consuming. The hidden bosses on FFVII were easy once you mastered mime materias you could loop your attacks continously or use a summon likes knights of the round over and over. The Ultima games were mentioned in this thread earlier I would say in comparison they're alot harder to any of the FF series, I can't remember completing a single one of them. I had a game on the Amiga where you'd wander around a dungeon in sort of a windowed 1st person mode I'm racking my brain trying to think of its name cos that was another one no matter how hard I tried I couldn't beat it.

The hardest game of all time though for me has to be Jet Set Willy, closely followed by Ghosts & Goblins. I tried so hard to complete JSW but the games so damn unforgiving if you misjudge a jump by a micro-fraction you're toast

CoD 4 on veteran, or I wanna be the guy. Man I wanna be the guy is so unforgivingly hard. CoD 4 veteran is like real life you take 2 bullets dead, whos gonna win you or 40+ guys?

[eauncarter]

For me God Of War has been the most Hardest game. I just am not able to play this game

Master of Darkness for the Sega Master System I find quite hard.

Final Fantasy X was no problem for me. It took me a fair while because I wanted to complete everything, mostly the monster arena, really not worth it. Still enjoy the game, however.

I find the early (PS1) Tomb Raider series extremely hard. I have completed them all with no problems, but they just used to scare me to death! The bad graffics and the enemies jumping out at you always put me on edge! They still do.

Zelda: Majora's Mask can be rather confusing when you first play, it took me a fair while to get the game going, It's a frustrating game.

 The last few levels of Theme Hospital always got to me! 

The original Metal Gear Solid caused me a bit of grief back in the day.

 Half Life, I could not stand those games yet I continued to play. 

 I could list loads, but shan't

For me the hardest game was Abe's Oddisey + Exodus.. I spent alot of time with this game but it was worth it , very fun and mind consuming.
One of the more actual games that i consider hard was FarCry 2!!! So much to walk around and hard to aim especialy if u run it on a low budget PC

I would put Battletoads on top because I think for all the people that did grow up during that time can agree that that game was nearly impossible.

My vote goes to Wizards and Warriors 3 for the NES though. That game drove me nuts, but I beat it.

[anwiii]

well, my favorite games of all time turn out to be the toughest....at least for me. they are the first two zeldas(ocarina of time and majora's mask) and then the ultima series wich are old old pc games back in the 80's. i remember the ultima games were tough and i always had to write things down on paper so i wouldn't forget the important keys to the game when i talked to people.

i think even the unsolvable games are pretty tough. the ones where it gets tougher to play as time goes on. i used to spend all my lunch money on vid games when i was a teenager. i sorta got out of it when everything turned new age. but zelda was a semi recent one for the n64 that i loved.....and it was tough to solve those games. took over a year to solve each one...now i can solve 'm in a week . i never did solve the ultima games though. those games were ahead of their time. they would still be fun to play....even today. hard as nails though!
