Tough games from the past

Heart of Darkness is one game on PlayStation 1 that I wouldn't forget how difficult it was. The way enemies swarm up at you in the opening levels is absurd and the controls is difficult. 

You remembered this game? It's been a long while for the game, developed in the year 1998 and playable on Microsoft and PlayStation 1, it has a rating of 8.1/10.

For a game that gave the kind of punishment Heart of Darkness dished out for me, there was no way you would expect me to forget it too early.

xD, you're correct man, their is no way you can forget a game that boosted your adrenaline rush, which made you sweat over making a tangible progress.

I have heard so much about how tough Ninja Gaiden II was from most of my guys that played. I did played it out a few times and the intensity of the game was mad. It's very difficult to survive the onslaught by enemies.

I totally get that! Nostalgia can be deceiving. I'd add games like Dark Souls and Mega Man to the list—insanely challenging!

Yeah, nostalgia definitely has a way of softening the difficulty of games. I think Battletoads is one of those brutal classics that feels even harder now than it did back in the day. The bike level is a nightmare! Another one that comes to mind is Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts - the difficulty is insane, and the checkpoint system just adds to the frustration.
