Speaking of hard games, what would you all consider to be some games you found to be genuinely hard to play through? o-o;

Mine would be Ninja Gaiden (the pixelated side-scroller one!) xD

Contra 3 for the SNES. I've played many games in my days and no matter the difficulty I have crushed them in time. But this game... I just can't beat it without glorious game genie. To this day the best I've done is gotten to the second to last stage and that was playing Co-op with my completionist brother.
