Hardest game you never beat (i.e., without cheats).

I can still remember the endgame music, i'd like to have that as a ring tone. Worst ending ever btw, last boss dies and a black screen with white text says "Congratulations!"

Wow, is Marble Madness really that short?

I could beat almost any game on NES and SNES, but for the life of me I still to this day cannot beat

Could never get past the first level 2 player, cause we'd spend all the time trying to kill each other ;[

(edit) in fact the same thing seemed to happen in Double Dragon(s), River City Ransom... pretty much any game where you can fight one another but still be co-op :| Hell, we'd get stuck in mario 3 fighting over mushroom houses. "NO P-WING FOR YOU". God, fuck my brother.

[Alexzandra]

Ah, River City Ransom. What a great game.

My mom bought this for me and I'm right there with you. Never beat it. Got really far though.

I remember having some trouble finishing Zelda 2 : Link's Adventure, but still managed to beat it rather fast compared to the majority of games back then that I never finished.. The end was rather nice too, with the battle against Dark Link for the fragments of Triforce. And the soundtrack in the battle against the next-to-last boss (Thunderbird was it?) was awesome for its time.

I remember finding Zelda 2 hidden in my mom's closet for X-mas. While she was at work, I cut open the bottom and slid the game out and played. It was a terrible hack job and it was quite obvious when my mom went to wrap it. I definitely beat it though.

Karnov had some really hard parts. I don't remember if I ever beat it.

[Zeste]

so hard

Until I busted out an emulator I couldn't beat Bart vs The Space Mutants. Playing through the game normally there was always one jump in the museum I couldn't do. You have to jump onto the head of a T-rex and like the whole front of his head and jaw isn't actually a platform. I'd try and just sail right through his head.

I'd get there, die, die again, die, and game over. Great.

My golden Zelda 2 cart was cracked across the middle.

Still finished it, though.

[The Ancient]

That simpsons game was stupid difficult.

I almost wrote that post verbatim (except that I never got around to beating it on an emulator). Stupid fucking T-rex jump.

Marble Madness was truly an inspiring game. Two player on that shit was fun as hell, especially as you get deeper into the game where the levels get so rigoddamndiculous that it only makes sense to push your friend off a time or two.
