My submittions:

Never Beat

Landing on the aircraft carrier in NES Top Gun, never could knock Mike Tyson out, Ecco the Dolphin on the Genesis, E.T. on the Atari only because it wasn't possible.

In terms of hard games I have beat.

Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox. I've never played a game with a more bad ass learning curve. When you first start you keep telling yourself that the game was just made poorly and that it just stupid hard. As you play though you realize "hey, I'm getting better at this!". You start learning how to move better, when to retreat and when to advance, etc. By the time you've beaten the game the player you are then could go back to the player you were when you first started playing and beat him 6 kinds of stupid.

Also, when you get that move where you jump up and rapidly fly forward, lopping heads off, the game just opens up. That one single move just changes the game. Without it, I don't think I could have beaten it.

I watched some game play videos of Ninja Gaiden 2 and it just looks fucking nuts; like getting rushed by 20 guys and literally a 6-7 minute fight ensuing.
