Fear and Hunger is a contender. If you aren't aware, imagine a JRPG where you kill god at the end, but you don't ever level up. Also the first enemy you fight is very likely to kill you, and has just as much of a chance of doing so on your 100th playthrough. Oh, and you start from the beginning every time you die.
Toss up between RC Pro-Am and Ninja Gaiden on the NES. I beat them both and they were both a real bitch. So, so many times I got to the final race or stage and couldn't do it... so you start all over from the beginning.
Games like that don't exist anymore.
QWOP, by a wide margin
Probably some of the old Nintendo games. Silver surfer is an extremely difficult bullet hell. Battletoads required insane memorization and timing, pretty sure you had to act before the game even told you in some places.
Battletoads
I’m gonna say Jet Force Gemini. It’s not hard in that enemies or bosses are difficult, though some were. It was those damn Tribals. You had to save every single one of them if you wanted to beat the game, and some were a pain to save without them getting killed.
The original Prince of Persia
Okay that quickly went from "I think I can do this with some practice" to "what the actual fuck" to me... congrats on clearing the game
I haven't touched classical bullet hell games since high school so... guess I should give them a try!
I've really only played Touhou in middle/high school... Imperishable Night was actually a really formative game for me, loved the OST and played quite a bit out of it. Fairly sure I've cleared this particular one on Easy, might have made to Stage 5/6 on Normal... Definitely didn't clear Scarlet Devil on Normal because my motor skills were terrible back then
I should be able to clear Normal/Hard now that I'm older and more skilled. If I have the patience/time that is...
Edit: apparently I forgot how to do math and got the game release numbers wrong
That's awesome! Loved Imperishable Night too, I played it so much along with Perfect Cherry Blossom and Subterranean Animism. As for Embodiment of Scarlet Devil it's generally considered one of the harder games of the series
Just try to play Dwarf Fortress, and you'll drop any other opinion on this subject. Especially the ASCII version of the game, not the fancy graphical one.
Iwbtg and all its successors and fan projects
Army Moves, Navy Moves, or any other old Dynamic Software game. You'd have to be very skilled to get out of the first stage.
Probably "Trap Adventure 2".
Imagine an old Mario game where Bowser has the most rediculous traps set up. You need to memorize all of the trap locations as well as have the coordination to tip-toe around them to survive.

The hardest one I can say I'm honestly proud I figured out are the old "Impossible Mission" games from Epyx.
They have set rules, and once you figure out all the rules, they are solvable, but the platforming elements require precision and the puzzle elements are challenging.
