The final boss in Megaman was hard as fuck.

A Boy And His Blob was hard as well.

I agree with Ninja Gaiden thpugh (it was called Shadow Warriors over here) that was ultra tough and I don't think i ever conquered it.

I still think the True Lies game for Super Nintendo is the hardest game ever made.

One of the most hopeless screenshots in gaming... there is nothing you can do... except die.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left ,Right, Left, Right, B, A, B, A, Select, Start

Still clear as day. (Or was it A,B,A,B?)

God, so many games I've gone crazy over. Nintendo controller were made to last damage (i.e, thrown) back then!

You can find a SPEED RUN of every game mentioned in this thread at Speed Demos Archive - Full Game List sorted alphabetically.

Also, YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. Lot of people agree that this is one of the harder games ever made (Adventures of Batman & Robin), although this guy makes it look easy (also one of the best / most innovative on the Genesis / ever in general, check out the music).

Ah, the old Konami code

Nintendo Entertainment System [3] but was made famous in North America in the NES version of Contra. While pausing the game or during the title screen, the player presses the following sequence of buttons on the game controller:

↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A
This is the original version of the code, designed for the NES controller. In many popular representations of the code, "Start" is added at the end of the sequence. This is because in many of the early occurrences of the code, "Start" had to be pressed before any effects of the code could be seen. In these cases, "Start" either started or unpaused the game. "Select" is also sometimes inserted at the end of the code, but in this instance, the code would be input at the title screen, and pressing "Select" usually switched the players option from one to two for cooperative play (as in Contra). The player can actually press "Select" before inputting the code and it will still take effect. The exact sequence varies from game to game, and has been adapted to fit the button layouts of different video game consoles. In mobile phone games by Konami, B and A are substituted with 9, 7, and 3 on the numerical pad, which is the goroawase pronunciation for "konami."

Interesting, I thought it was Contra-specific back in the day...

I sucked at Contra, but then again I was like 6
