This is not a thread about other so called hard games.
Ninja Gaiden, give me a break.
Battletoads, I beat that when I was ten.
Contra, come on.
Takeshi no chousenjou.

This is the hardest game ever. The final boss takes over 20,000 hits to kill. The game opens with this warning: "This game is made by a man who hates videogames"
I've played it once after learning about it from Tim Roger's review of Earthbound.

Wikipedia wrote:Takeshi no Chousenjou (Takeshi's Challenge) is a Japanese video game for the Nintendo Famicom (NES) by comedian turned film director 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano released in time for Christmas in 1986. The game is an experimental title attempting to break as many video game rules as possible.
The Ultimate Challenge by Beat Takeshi.
The game is infamously known for giving the player several ludicrous, near-impossible tasks to complete. Some examples include forcing the player to sing karaoke numerous times in a row (utilizing the second Famicom controller, that has a built-in microphone), leaving the game at a certain point for one hour without touching the controller and presenting the player with a final boss requiring more than 20,000 hits to defeat[1].
Despite the controversial game design, the game is regularly listed by the Japanese public in the top 50 best Famicom games (perhaps as sarcasm). However, many others believe the entire game was a cruel joke on the gaming community by Takeshi Kitano.
The game was never released outside Japan.

The controller had a mic?
Okay. Finally an old game that deserves a sequel.

The Famicom controllers has a microphone, but it only acted as a button. However, this was before the internet so people didn't know how it worked. Imagine millions of teenage Japanese trying to sing.
The C64 version? The one that was literally impossible?
Also, I had no idea the Famicom controller had a mic. I'll be damned. I can't believe they never tossed functionality for it into Mario or something.
That one. Out of all of the games that could have a game breaking bug, that was the best one for it to happen to.
You're not alone. The first time I ever heard of it was the author's notes in a chapter of Naruto. He was talking about when he was a kid, playing Dragon Quest when it was first released. They couldn't figure out how to use magic, and after trying every combination of buttons his brother had the bright idea to start shouting Fireball into the microphone. My first reaction was Holy shit, they had a voice controller back then? Well played Japan, well played.
The original Dragon Quest involved the mic for spells, I believe.
Er...I actually finished it.
I always thought it was the Atari version that was broken.
It'd have to be. It took me a few years, but I actually finished the C64 one. It also had one of the least satisfying endings ever. It was a near-static image of that "stay a while...stay forever" mad doctor turning away from a bank of computers, saying "NOOOOOOO." My memory may be failing me somewhat, so there may be something missing, but I distinctly recall feeling massively gyped, considering how tough that crap was.
It almost seems like a proto-DS game, with the experimental style, varied gameplay, and even the microphone. DS games are easy as fuck though.
And while you're out there, Etrian Odyssey has some FOEs waiting for you.
I think you mean that this game would be awesome with Wii controls.
No, I'm pretty sure that I meant this game would be awesome to play on the DS. How would Wii controls make this game any more enjoyable? I don't think the waggle is really going to bring this title alive.
It could be pretty fun as a DS game to play on the fly, though. It seems that each level of the game is pretty simple once you find out how to solve the frustrating 'trick'. It'd almost just be a long term puzzle game - you would probably have to remove the 1 hour waiting period programmed into the middle, though.
Thanks wiki!
Well, presumably you could if you actually shot all the enemy cars. I remember the announcers always going "Check in next week! Someone's gotta win soon! We promise!"
So that's why he always looks like that?
