Jagged Alliance 2 - I never managed to complete it, but it's one of the best rts/rpg/sim mix I ever played. Every time I'm playing it, I'm moving slightly further (once I found a ice cream truck), but it will always end in giving up because I don't have time to finish the game.

I must confess, the pain, the shame. Silent Hill 3 (hard), the end boss. I gave up after 30x tries more or less. Not enough bullets at the end and whacking it with a pipe wasn't workin'. :erg:
SH3 sat there on my drive for a while. To torment me.
No gamepad monkey bizness on that one, kb & mouse. :p

SH3's final boss kicked my ass first go. Second attempt, I conserved my ammo as much as I could (read: I didn't blow it all on that fight at the merry-go-round) and pulled it off. This was the proper PS2 version, btw.

The Turanic corvettes? How do you capture them? They're extremely slippery and salvage corvettes aren't exactly the most maneuverable.
Distract them, and if possible run them out of fuel.
Select one salvage corvette. Issue it the capture order, then immediately hit K. It will go into kamikaze mode and rush the missile corvette. In kamikaze mode, it gets a 50% speed boost making it easier to catch the damn thing. Right before it hits the target, reissue the capture command - it will keep going at 150% speed for a bit from momentum, and has a much better chance of getting the missile corvette into it's salvage range. If that happens, the missile vette is grabbed and then it's yours. If not, try again.
It's a damn slow process, so much so that I'd make a backup save after you capture as many as possible so you don't ever have to do it again.
Hard, but so worth it. Their Z-attack is insane.

No bullshit Mr. Duck savestates either.
Shush, you know that the developers of the time used bullshit tactics to artificially extend the length of their game. I don't have the patience to play by those rules anymore. I'm just balancing the playfield. Usually only use save states at the start of a level or some such :)
I don't want to be a purist, just have a fair challenge, something I love about Demon's and Dark Souls. They're quite hard, but never bullshit hard.
Regardless, I've passed tons of old school hard games, both NES Contras as mentioned, with no shenanigans on their original consoles, so booyah! :D

Alan was trapped in the trainyard. After the 30th attempt to run across the trainyard whilst doing the funky chicken to switch between flashlight and pea-shooter, Alan realised the futility of even trying to do so.
He curled up into a ball and tried to decide if collecting flasks was more or less tedious than the flag search in Assassin's Creed. He was beaten. But there was no reason to try again.
