Did a search, nothing popped up..
Alright guys, after first playing it 14 years ago I finally beat Contra 3. I feel awesome.
Also, clocked Megaman X for the first time recently.
This just leaves Ninety Nine Nights and obviously Contra 4 :P
What games out there continue to get the better of you?

Not really what you asked for, but close enough.
If anyone's got a guide for 'S'ing that level, hit me up.
I forgot to mention Killzone: Liberation on PSP. I just suck at it.
Same.
Run to the Hills.... I don't know why I can't do it. Sounds and feels right when I'm playing it. I think my drums are broken.
Tetris 2632-0842-0873
Etrian Odyssey is shaping up the same way. I'm more exciting by the prospect of starting a new game than by the prospect of gaining levels and buying armor to take on the fifth stratum's boss.
The queen (last boss I think). No matter what I do she one shot kills me about 10 minutes in.
Total Annhilation - Korgoth Encounter
I have played that one mission so many times and I have never beaten it.
The ending movie was so worth it.
Right now I cannot beat Gears of War on insane. Fuck the driving kryll attack bit.
Guitaur Hero - That 98% completion of Bark at the Moon on expert will haunt me for all eternity
I KNOW. The last tier is having its way with me, sans Vasoline.
Also, N+, though I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
With practice I might be able to win, but I just get so frustrated, I'm afraid I'm going to smash my controller to bits, so I stop while I'm ahead
Whatever happened to Lowkick, mid-kick, high-kick, Low punch, mid-punch, high-punch, high-block, low-block and 3-5 special moves per characters? Those were the days
I also could never beat super ghouls and ghosts.
The stuff of nightmares.
Seriously. No leaving it open for sequels, no loose ends left untied. A good solid ending. Also it lasted about 45 minutes if I remember correctly, about 20ish minutes of which was FMV.
As for games I can't beat.... Baldur's Gate 2. Its not hard, I just get so far, then get my arse handed to me and realise I haven't saved in ages and just go "eeh" and put it on the backburner for a couple of days. Rinse and repeat.
Sounds like you should get into King of Fighters. It is the great bulwark of oldschool fighting goodness.
....and King of Fighters XII happens to be the game that I just cannot beat right now. My pride won't let me lower the difficulty and that damn cheap final boss just keeps raping me.
Hah --- that reminds me: the guys I lived with in college (4 in a townhouse) would regularly gather around our small TV and play through games together, in both spectator and player roles (my roommate and I were the FF nuts). We were workign our way through FF8, got to the last disc, and EVERY TIME we would trigger some cutscene (I don't remember which one), our disc/game woudl freeze. We must have tried to get past that scene a hundred times.... and I must have asked just about everyone on campus if anyone had a copy of FF8.
Studious, i know.
I played some KoF after I tried Capcom vs SNK. I remember renting a KoF game shortly after that. It was fun but I didn't get into it as much as I did with the Capcom games.
One day, I will conquer that game.
Battletoads on NES. No other game caused as much damage to surrounding furniture as that one. It was so frustratingly difficult. I can't remember what level I got to on that, but I remember my brother getting to some level where you ride some giant wheel around a winding path, and that was the farthest either of us got. I watched a speed run of it and can't imagine how someone would beat it without taking advantage of the bugs in the game.
Adventures of Lolo III - I was young, okay? I downloaded the first one on VC and beat it really quickly and thought, wow, that was a lot easier than I remembered. I also think around that time my NES was starting to have major problems with loading games, so that didn't help either.
3DS FC: 0817-3759-2788
Try going back, collecting all the djinni, unlocking the final secret dungeon, and beating the boss within. Chaos Dragon doesn't seem so hard now huh?
Yeah... TO THE INTERNET... *batman music*
God Hand - Yes, I have beat this game and it feels awesome. What made this game hard for me, was the battle against Belze. He was really tough, since I had only 1 roulette coin against him and there wasn't any more of them in the jars. I basically beat him by running and taunting, when I had enough power to pop up God Hand, I beat him as much as I could. I wish I had a bigger room, I had to put my PS2 away, since I hadn't enough room for Xbox360, Wii and PS2. Now I can't play God Hand.
Devil May Cry 3 - I have beaten this aswell, but I really hate how you had to start from the beginning of the mission if you died and the fact that the bosses were hard as hell didn't make it any better. All the areas were really dark and blurry aswell, which made me a bit bored (played this the last year, so comparing it to the next-gen games, it looked quite crappy in my eyes). Now I have started playing DMC4. I almost like it more in every single way than DMC3. Though it lacks the variety of weapons.
2008, 2012, 2014 D&D "Rare With No Sauce" League Fantasy Football Champion!
It's like a recurring thing with me. I couldn't beat the NES version for years after it came out, then one day I blew out the cartridge, popped it in and owned all the way through it. Flash forward...I dunno 15 years?...same thing with the Xbox version. I got the shit kicked out of me so hard I stopped playing for a year or more, then came back and breezed through it.

Lou in Guitar Hero 3 is simply the biggest game of chance in the world. My roomate played and played (and I boycotted for Rock Band), and was stuck on Lou on Hard for weeks. One night (pre-RB release) I decided to just try to get through the hard tour. I did the whole thing in one night, got to Lou, and beat him on my first try. I got like, a whammy and a triple note thing, and he died. My roomate was super pissed. I havent played the game since. It was TOTAL luck.
My proudest moment? Beating MDK2 on the Dreamcast. I want another MDK game SO BADLY.
WHAT?! I've played the hell out of Sonic 1-4 on the Genesis, those games are so much fun.
Zombies Ate My Neighbours - There are like FIVE BILLION levels and I got stuck towards the last few levels, even when playing with a friend. But man I love that game.
Oh, I played the shit out of 'em, but I've never beaten any. I got to the last boss on Sonic 3, but lost to him.
I've also never gotten more than like four Chaos Emeralds.

I had the same problem. A friend of mine told me that you could by these gum rubber pads that make them more accurate and responsive, and also springier, that you just stick to the pads with a mild adhesive. Google it, I think a set of four custom made ones costs about $30 or so.
I got stuck on Mother Brain in Metroid Zero Mission on hard. That game doesn't fucking screw around on hard. "Oh hey, we're jacking up the damage you take when you get hit. Oh, and by the way, those energy tanks and missile upgrades? Worth half of what they were. Have fun!"
