Cat Mario wasn't hard, it was rather fun to die. I was actually amused by how smart the developer was :)

If I don't count joke games (that are made to poke fun of difficulty - like I wanna be the Guy or Kaizo Mario), it's probably Dark Souls or Etrian Odyssey on the RPG front and either Super Meat Boy or Rayman Origins on the platforming front.

Sword of Sodan (Mega Drive)
(review, breakdown <and spoilers>)



Superman (Mega Drive)
(review, shows level 1)



These two are near tie. Superman, for needing to memorize every jump and finish boss with 1 hp.
Game Genie from start (for both).

I'd say Cloud Master (Sega Master System) because, unlike any good danmaku game, it doesn't have any death spot...YOU are the death spot.
I am not considering games that were made just to be assholes (IWBTG and clones) and overall unfair games like Silver Surfer NES. And I'm not counting games that are hard to reach some certain spot or that have an ungodly difficulty setting. Cloud Master is a fair game, but it's hard as hell and it stays like this EVERYWHERE. I think this is the hardest game I've ever had the chance to finish, and I feel badass about it.
As I already said, I'm not counting games where you choose higher difficulties, so don't ever start listing Touhou games in Lunatic. They are the most fair, when it comes to gameplay and controls, but the difficulty isn't mandatory. To beat the game, all you need is to finish the normal difficulty (easy for me) without any continues. That might be difficult for many of you, but still nowhere as tragic as Cloud Master.

There was some DS game called Lost Magic I think, I'm not sure why or how.
But things went wrong
Oooh god Lost Magic. It's fun but once you get to a certain point... uggghhhh. I think I didn't even have all the level 2 spells. You need to put your monsters on the enemy spawns to prevent them from spawning but if your monsters get killed you're pretty much fucked.

Ganbare Goemon 4, Animaniacs MD and Sparkster SNES are examples of games I've found challenging but in a still enjoyable way. I mean challenging with moments of wanting to throw the controller in anger.
Super Mario Bros 2 (Japanese version) is a classic.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
