My friend and I are on a mission to finish this game without the code. We've gotten good enough that I now realize it CAN BE DONE.

To answer the question, I will go with Battletoads.

here is an easy way. as soon as you get the ragnorak take it to the island closest to hell, or the island closest to heaven. look it up on gamefaqs or something for the exact spot. there the monsters are absurdly hard to kill and give out large amounts of exp. keep killing until your gfs learn there best skills (like hp boost n such), until at least 3 of your characters are above level 80, and once you have the three characteres best weapons/skills. i chose squall, rinoa, and irvine as my three. squall doing the renzukuen with the lion heart blade did like 3254r36t923 damage alone. rinoa could heal like crazy, and irvine had this kamikaze move that would kill even a boss if yoiu were in a bind.

it took a while to level n what not. but when i finally went to ultimecias castle i killed everything in one hit. even ultimecia.

Shapan, all you have to do is know where to draw all the good magics from, after that its a doosie, you dont even need to level, in fact, its harder if i remember.

Anyone play/heard of solstice?

I like challenges but I don't likes pointless stupid routine work and inhuman timing. So I guess I don't like ridiculously hard games. But I do like difficulty found in most tactical based or strategy based games where you must outwit the AI despite any advantages it may have.

On the hardest setting in Ninja Gaiden, apparently only two of the development team can complete it.

I remember when I played games as a kid we used to say stuff like "you beat level ten in 5 seconds!? no way not even the guy who made the game could do that! Liar liar pants on fire" or alternatively "This level is impossible its stupid!" followed by "I bet the guy who made the game could finish it"

I find it amusing that there is actually some credit that the maker of a game is any more skilled at playing it than anyone else.

man, DO IT. imho, ff8 is the greatest game of all time. i've completed it 5 times, it just made my life in so many ways. initially i left the game for a year because ultimecia's castle scared the crap outta me when i was 12, but i went back and aced it. the boss fights are all amazing and the ending is just unmissable, made me cry. i strongly suggest fighting ultima and omega weapon too if you haven't done so yet.

No. Did you read my post? I thought the final boss was hard, because there are... What, three different bosses you have to fight? And before that you have to fight 3 Dark Nuts without a chance to save. Annoying.

Also I'm impatient.

I have somehow convinced myself that improving my skill at Ninja Gaiden will spread to improve other aspects of my existence, like a stone thrown in a pond

I am not a violent man but goddamn if I haven't thrown my controller on the ground in abject rage time and time again with this game

I think I might have been a bit burned out by the time I got to the final boss. I was playing it nonstop during break-- you know when you try to do something over and over and keep failing, you get frustrated, and as soon as you put it down for awhile and come back to it, it seems so much easier? That'll probably happen to me in a couple of weeks.

A game that was too hard depreciating:

ET. What the fuck was that? There were like 31 keys, and the graphics made it unplayable. You basically fall into pits digging for fucking keys and have sex with an alien. Then if you use the code and get too many keys, you can't beat the game. It retailed for over 39 dollars, now it's a meager two bucks max.

BumbleBeeMouth: FF8 and FF12 are the most easiest in the series to abuse. FF8's battles of course don't get so easily abused until towards the end, though. Overall it's a pretty fun battle system.

Example: In FF8, cast Aura + use Lionheart. Rinse, wash, repeat. No one can stop you at the end. Ultemecia is probably the easiest final boss in the entire series.

can't disagree with that, but even though its easy, its still incredibly satisfying just bashing out all those renzokuken gunblade hits. did you fight omega weapon, efflo?

By the time I fought the Omega Weapon, I was so juiced with Ultima spells and Auras that he was my personal bitch.

Fighting the Ultima Weapon was harder for me, because I used him to get 100 Ultimas for each of my characters. What a chore. Light Pillar is not your friend, people.
