What are the most difficult video games you've played?

[mila5]

Modern games can't hold a candle to the old school era in terms of difficulty. Soulsborne is difficult, sure, but the hardest video game in the world? Puh-leez.

Just try Battletoads, the lost Super Mario levels (cut from American release because it was too difficult), Ghosts N Goblins, Silver Surfer, and Contra. I'm sure there are a few I'm missing but any one of those games easily trumps Soulsborne in the difficulty department.
