NES: Megaman... all of them. (Dishonorable mention to Deadly Towers and the stupid poison puddles, and Spelunker... oh, how I wanted to love that game but it was pure frustration.)

In testing, the operators were unhappy with how long people could play the game on one quarter, so the developers were told to make it absurdly hard in the final version.

I guess the one that I have the most experience + least success with was Battletoads. My friend owned it and over a period of probably two years, I think we beat the jet bike level maybe four times.

Anyone ever play Soldiers of Fortune: The Chaos Engine for the SNES (I think it came out for the Genesis too) I remember never being able to beat that game when I was a kid.
I had it for the Genesis. I still don't think I've beat it either.
It had a cool story line but no cheat codes afaik.

Other than that, I remember many of the old RPGS being pretty hard because they were such level grinds. You'd have to stop for hours and just level up or have no chance of beating a boss. I guess at least they gave you a way to win, but it was weird. Also, the recent ports and remakes of Final Fantasy I make it so much easier. It really kills a lot of the charm of the original.

Super Ghouls and Ghosts (more torture)
Mike Tyson's Punch out (Made it to Super Macho Man once without codes)
Blaster Master (can't remember much about this one but it was very tough)
Adventures of Bayou Billy (I still have nightmares of the driving levels to this day not to mention the enemies that would not die)
Contra (without the Konami code)
TMNT (


Ninja Gaiden (I beat Bloody Malth once and got past the first boss of act 6 then couldn't beat Jaquio and gave up)
Battletoads both nes and gameboy versions never played the snes one (fucking all the levels past the first one)
