What games do you think are just stupidly hard? And I don't mean when you put the difficulty level up full. Just on normal and they are a bitch to beat!
A few games i've got aren't actually consoles but are old arcade games:

Ninja Spirit. This was just silly. I don't think I ever got past level 2.


Ghouls N Ghosts or Ghost N Goblins. Both were very hard,both basically cheated by making you play the game through twice(although I never finished either),and both contained that god damn red devil which was an utter ****!


Haunted Castle. I think this was Castlevania for the arcades. And a game where I could even get past the first level! One life bar and you couldn't even continue when you died!

NO HOTLINKING!
 
I think the majority will be older games, as is evident from the posts so far.

Largely due to the lack of ability to save, or poor design choices by today's standards. Games used to be a lot tougher.
 
The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants.

First played this game when I was 8 years old so no surprise I found it hard, but even then after going back to it, this game pees me off big time. Takes me like a couple of tries on the first stage if I make a simple screw up, but can't even get past the second stage to safe my life.

haha, just watched a play-through on YouTube.

I could never do the fourth level.
What a rubbish ending though for the final level, but then I guess most old games were like that!
 
Just fired up Haunted Castle for the first time ever. Yes, that's hard, although I've had wine :o
 
Tazmania on the Master System. I wanted to cry. :(

EDIT: Oooh, and Darius 2 on the Master System, I wasn't even 10 at the time though.

lots of older games were impossible unless you cheated, some because the design sucked, some because they were just too hard.
