Hardest Game/Level you've ever played(not necessarily beaten...)

[Tis I]

My vote is for Homeworld. That last mission is horrid. Still haven't beaten it in fact.

Tho it's a weenie game, my mom was a Tetris addict. In her prime she could always roll up ridiculously high scores, hundreds of levels into the game. I could hardly even identify the shape of the piece falling, and she'd scoot it into place.

The Bouncer on PS2 is currently giving me some hang-ups... with as lousy of a level-up system as it has, when you get later into the game you just can't cut it. Still waiting to probably just get a gameshark and beat the thing... the main reason I got it was for the multiplayer battle mode.

Nothing has ever been as hard as Bard's tale 3 last dungeon. I had the clue/cheat/help book in my hand and could not do it in ten attempts before I just gave up!
No light (can't see...black screen)
No compass (where am I going [and why am I in this handbasket])
Walk through a maze filled with spin and teleport squares in the right sequence to pass (this will make the game real fun...whatever!).

Serious Sam on Serious in particular the Dunes. I didn't make any further than that on serious I'm sure there were some older games which were really hard but I can't remember them at the moment.

I found WarCraft II very hard, until I mastered it. I've gotta say that Donkey Kong 64 is still harder, though.

Agreed. I know only one person that beat the first level. From what she told me, it isn't that hard it is just impossible to figure out where you need to go. But I lost patience after about an hour of walking around the same places over and over again.

Thief is difficult. Even at the end, one mistake could cost you your life. Playing each level without saving makes it almost impossible.

What's this, a contest of masochistic tendencies?

"Oo, oo, this hurts bad."
"No, no, this is worse."

1942... even when I was good at it, I could make it through at most half of the game.

[chronocrator]

I remember that some Commandos missions where really hard, I beat them all though and the last mission was actually quite easy.

[Victor Galis]

There was also this one red alert mission, that my friend and I spent 2 hours defeating the allies in, then another 2 hours searching for camo. pillboxes that were so expertly hidden. That's the thing that pissed me off about red alert. You didn't win until you killed everything, even if the opponent had NO chance whatsoever.

Reminds me of this 8 player game we played. The rules were: winner is person with most kills among those who survive. One guy went out and killed a lot of people. I took it easy, then sent my MiGs to rain death on the survivors. I quickly mopped up everyone including this guy, but I'd missed his subpen long enough for him to build 3 subs. I couldn't find them before time was called, and he was declared winner by kill count Even though I had a base and an army, an airforce, and a navy, and he had 3 subs.

What's this? The arcane game where your lone plane takes on the entire IJN?

Or is that 1943?

[General Ludd]

Commandos 2 is one of the more challanging games I've ever played.

[Victor Galis]

IJN?
