yeah that was it, there was even a printed Cheat Book we bought once that had cheats for 100's of games in it, used it for GTA a lot ;) on like ps2 i mean
When I eventually found all the cheats for GTA 3 , Vice City and San Andreas I made a web site about it on HTML the site has been taken down it was on a free server which only held web sites for 6 or 7 months this was way back in 2006 also I included cheats for the original XBox version of San Andreas . Some of the cheats on Vice City worked for San Andreas although the rewards were different the only time I needed to cheat on Vice City was on The Driver mission for GTA 3 it was the Kingdom Come mission for King Courtney and for San Andreas it was Air Raid and Supply Lines for Zero . Nowadays you're punished for cheating because if you put cheats in any game it will affect your trophy screen .
@@robertclark2253 so awesome hey dude. Well done for doing that and making a site. What a cool time in gaming history to be a part of these good old days. Awesome dude 👍
One of my bigger gaming feats is 100% completing that one. Had to get every box without dying on every level. The remake its only colored gems you need to get without dying.
Tomb Raider III has all those difficulties Gameranx mentioned, because you have a limited number of save crystals. Maybe they were inspired by another game that used limited typewriter ink ribbons.
I say the original Resident Evil is the hardest game on the PlayStation in my opinion. The NA and EU versions of the game were changed slightly in order to make more money of rentals. They gave all the enemies more hp and buff up there damage values, less ink ribbons, and no auto aim.
I’d give a shout to Vagrant Story, both Oddworld games and, with a BIG disclaimer, Final Fantasy 8. The disclaimer being that the game is bloody difficult if you don’t get the junction mechanics, don’t get how the mod/refine abilities work, don’t give Triple Triad a fair chance and do spend time grinding for levels. I’m guessing most of us did this on our first attempt at a playthrough on this before we eventually learned how to break the game before the first SeeD mission.
Much like how Riven was new to console gamers, so was Discworld, my first experience with point-and-click adventure games. I was so lost. I had to buy an expensive strategy guide (pre-Internet), but then my memory file got corrupted before I could complete it. The Discworld books are amazing, though.
My memory card education was given to me by blood omen legacy of kain and that one should be on here that frozen castle of Malik was hard as hell with no humans to feed on
WOW! I had Kingsfield as a kid and I have been searching for that game for ages... I couldn’t remember the name. I honestly thought I had just dreamed it up haha. Thank you gameranx! And YEAH that game was hard af never got past the 1st level. That giant squid thing scared the shit out of me
It's refreshing to see someone put a TR game on a list and not cry that it's hard because of "the controls" so thank you for that sir. Just like any other game of the time, once you got a feel for how everything works then you're good to go, but yes, I agree this was probably the most difficult one in the series.
It was around 18 years ago my parents bought me a Slim PS1, plays really a lot of ps1 games. But to this day, game likes Brave Fencer Mushasi, Silent Hill, and some others i haven't cleared yet at the time... my head hurts because of the complex game environments 😂 I'd feel to try it again on the emulator in the near future 👊
I've never beaten blasto, but when I was a kid I got pretty far into the game though and for some reason these trial and error type games don't make me tired back then, maybe because I don't have any more games to play except those lmao.
Agreed, I recently played them on a emulator and I used my analog sticks for movement. It really makes the game so much better if they only had waited a year or 2 for that port so they could've legitimately implemented analog functions it would've been a epic port.
I agree on the number 1 I play games since i was a kid and i guarantee u that alundra is such an amazing game and story and even more difficult than 90% of the games today!
Alundra was the shit back then. Those puzzles were freaking insanely good. Too bad kids these days will never experience these kinds of games. Best snes game: chrono trigger, what a bad ass freaking game it was. Miss being a kid in the 90s 😤😩
Hercules anyone? Probably not the hardest but I remember struggling on some levels like the centaurs forest, I had a lot of difficult to beat the boss 😭 Also the save system made it hard because if you didn't collect all the required elements you couldn't save and on case you failed, you had to do the previous levels again. Ah good ol times...
I was never able to fully complete kings field 1, but i did beat kings field 2 and that was just as hard. even got the sword behind the end boss and made it back out again for giggles
I’m so bummed that I’m of the ps1 generation and didn’t play a lot of games. I played a ton of sports and that was cool but I love video games more than sports now
I played Driver and Tomb Raider III never got the chance to pass them. Although Spyro the dragon was a pretty rough one to achieve 100% and I got it after plenty of hours.
Not as exaggerated as others may believe. The common design was: Easy: Learn the game. Medium: Get good. Hard: Get Great. Because of this, it actually makes sense to play a lot of older games on easy, because the other difficulties expect you to already know what you're doing.
So true. There were some PS1 games I've finally beaten, learned tricks, and have mastered. Now, I suck at them lol. For example, the Frogger on PS1 was kind of tricky at times, at least when it came to the Golden Frogs. I've mastered that game left and right and got all of them with no problem. Today, I have trouble just getting one and completing a one darned level 😅😭 Games were actually a challenge back then 😝
I'm shocked nobody thought of the original Gran Turismo licenses! That "Super" License especially, where the time limits were so strict, you needed to spend endless hours on trial-and-error repeats
The trick of the parking garage is that it had to be done in a certain order to get a good time, and obviously NOT in written order. Also, there was no clue in-game :D
I quit several times that game for that reason. I mánage to clear that level AND i was able to reach the final level...but that was really, really hard. I just couldn't clear the game for that final level.
Until todayI never knew what Driver's main gameplay was like... Never was able to beat the tutorial. Eventually me and my friends made up our own little game of who could drive around the parking lot the fastest with no damage 😂
@@caseysand8227 I was too damn young to know what a 'slalom' was and nobody in my family knew either. Had to get my uncle to do it, and gasped at how simply he did it.
Pepsi man. The end. Damn heart of darkness. The trip I'm taking down memory lane right now is making me tear up. Commandos installing on PC and I'm watching the cutscene with the boi and his puppy Stay blessed Jake 🙏
Ok, maybe if it wasn’t registering what you accomplished, I get it. But it was SO easy. Just try to knock off things at the same time. I still remember what I did. Start with the burnout, continue accelerating straight until you knock off speed, do a lap while at top speed, then slalom, handbrake to do 180, reverse 180, 360 and you’re done.
The Tenchu series was my jam! I played so much I could speed run them. And the second one introduced the ability to build your own stages with an editor. The Tenchu series along with the Legacy of Kain series are at the top of my wishlist for reboots
I'm with you there, had so many of each item from just playing it over and over and over. Eventually I started making up my own stories as I played through a single stage in level select. Loved that game, rented it once, and within 15 mins of playing it, I said " When I return this, im going to the store and buying this right after." I'm breaking out Alundra, and Tenchu out of my closet this weekend, and playing the S out of them, man its been decades.........
Those classic NPC audio bites the guards would say while you lurked on a rooftop waiting for your poison rice to get gobbled up. I would love to play a good remake, that stays true to the original audio/color pallet story but maybe more loot based and free roam.
Nice shout out to Alundra i have manged to finish it once. I still go back every now and then but I never finish it. But it needs a re-realise and more love. It's one of the better Zelda clones
@@anthonydeleon001 I was 13 or 14 I think. With hardly any other games to distract me. Now evey time I go back in get 30 hrs in and get distracted by newer shinny games haha. Also f#@k them ice sliding puzzles. Haha
I've heard of this game from various retro games TH-cam channels, but never got around to playing it. I wish they made it available for the PS4 on the PSN Store. Don't really wanna hook up my PS3 just to play it.
i finished the game the boss battle is easy when you have magic and mp pots. yeah a time consuming game it was the era before internet was widely available.
I was/am an absolute monster in Jet Moto. I still own it on PS3. Since I was a kid, I’ve mastered all of the tracks, and I show off on Nightmare on the Master difficulty.
@JFKTV same! do you remember being able to slowly ride up a vertical wall and then boosting miles into the air? i will never forget that game. spent so many hours playing it.
You mean Oddworld: Abes Odyssy? Ya that was a challenge. As for MGS I never really found it that hard, but if you're not that good at stealth it can be hard.
The first Crash for PS1 was especially difficult for its save mechanic: you could only save in bonus areas of the levels. And if you fail the bonus area, you don't get to retry. The difficulty would notably decrease if you could just save at the level select screen like in the remake.
Tomb Raider games were hard because you so easily get stuck not knowing where to go or what to do next and some of the areas were huge making it frustrating at times
The controls were pretty easy when you got the hang of them. They have set rules and are pretty precise due to the grid, you just have to learn timing and how far a standing jump will take you, how far a running jump will take you etc.
Metal Gear Solid isn't so hard... if you play on ''easy'', or ''normal'' mode, xd! Plus, the hardest part was the battle with Metal Gear Rex AND Liquid Snake! All the other parts isn't so hard IF you had played similar games before!
Really? I mean sure, if your going for like a perfect, no alert run or something crazy. But as far as just beating it, like less than a weekend brah. 3 or MAYBE 4 days on hard.
I hope tenchu comes back to current gen.....Sekiro was supposed to be a tenchu game but then plans were changed...im not hating on sekiro but I wish they'd have made a tenchu game that relies alot on stealth elements instead
loved those games, it wasnt till like 4 years after the release back in the day i actually decided to go for it and managed to get all gems. Was a good time.
Waiting for classes to end so you can run home and turn on the PS. The intro of the console by itself was music to the ears. Late 90s and early 00s, those were the days...
I remember my brother and I passing the controller back and forth to beat that mission.😆 After what seemed like an entire day we finally beat the tutorial
Pro tip on the first Driver mission: on the main menu go into the "training" section, you'll find a video tutorial showing EXACTLY what you are supposed to do in order to pass. Once you know what to do, it's very easy to pull off.
Not sure if it's really still a remake of Exodus since they made so many changes, it seems. Hope I won't be disappointed since I knew about Exodus before the first game and am afraid they might not handle it like New 'n Tasty.
@@Mikko74 I love KF games, and yes after you learn how it goes, it gets easier, but still a challange, sad they got replaced by Dark Sould games, they are not my cup of tea.
Tomb Raider 3 was difficult, lol I rented it out and didn't take it back for weeks. Ended up having to pay the game shop almost as much as it would have cost to buy it in the first place.
I remember going to Walden books in the mall when I was like 8 or 9 with my parents and I would always bring a notepad and I would sit in the floor and write cheats down while they shoppes
The first one was waaaay harder than the others that followed, especially compared to something like warped. I played and loved warped first so when I tried the first crash I ragequit so many times I just eventually tried to 100% warped instead. May not be hardcore but definitely something worth mentioning. Besides, the list had all these obscure titles it was nice to see a very familiar one.
I hadn't a clue what they meant by a Slalom either until I telephoned by cousins who already owned the game. After the fact I found out that in the main menu under "TRAINING" they have a video demo showing exactly what you are supposed to do in order to pull off the level.
@@CloudMcRip Maybe if I replayed it now it would be much easier, but I remember how much I struggled with that game as a young kid. I'm pretty sure I've done much harder things up till now in comparison like completing uncharted 1 in brutal mode so it's all just pretty much a matter of perspective.
Soul reaver was easy compared to blood omen 1, the only thing that made soul reaver even remotely hard was you weren't told where to go, nice to see others that have played it 🙂
Well more time consuming than anything. If you could see me with a few pumpkings and some traps, it's truly terrifying to watch it all unfold before one's eyes. That and Jowls of dark demise. Ugh I almost wanna start another new playthrough now
Believe it or not bubsy 3d is actually a bit difficult of a game, mainly because of its brokenness. I used to play that game all the time as a small child thinking it was awesome lol.
Tenchu was easy as hell once you find out the ultimate gamebreaking technique. the rice ball. 1. throw rice ball 2. guard walks to it 3. shank em 4. reclaim rice ball
Hard ... difficult ... Hikimaru facing multiple enemies like a samurai ... "Come on man, climb on that roof and jump from house to house to the boss's open window!" 30seconds tops!
We definitely wanna hear your picks on this one. Everyone has a different list!

I thought Parasite Eve was difficult.

The Nostalgia! I remember playing Blasto over and over again on a demo disc. It was so frustrating but I loved it.
I still wake up at night questioning myself, WHY DID SPEND 3 HOURS ON ONE LEVEL OF CRASH BANDICOOT
The High Road?
that level irritated the shit out of me it was ridiculous even playing it on an emulator with quickloads @@DaSxcTaz

Armored Core
idk if anyone remembers that game but it used every single button simultaneously
great game anyway
Yes loved that franchise
I grew up playing this game called einhander or something like that. It was super hard
I remember the music. It was a little weird. Loved the demo. Played it for hours.
Exactly me too, I never beat it as a kid
I was playing it a few weeks ago. I had this buddy who beat it in two days. He was just too good with shooters and street fighter.

Tomb Raider 3 much harder than Tomb Raider 4 (for me).

I remember In Cold Blood being hard. I finished Driver though.

Yeah, took me two consecutive rentals to beat that, I still remember the frustration of the fire in the building level, and last boss fight.
I haven’t finished that one ! To damn hard
Omg alundra was so much fun!! The only challenge I had was getting the last gilded falcon from the casino game!
First Oddworld game had hard as fuck levels and the stealth missions in Syphon Filter 1 were excruciating at times

U know what i never beat oddworld either
Lmao i remember the stress of trying to figure out how im gonna free a guy whose stuck between two mines, sneaking passed guards, perfect timed jumps
where's nightmare creatures? it's literally bloodborne from ps1
Yeh that was awsome game and really hard the wearwolfs used to scare the shit out of me.
It literally isn't bloodborne on PS1.
@@pedrochevez2090 He probably meant the gothic atmosphere and somewhat fast paced combat.Quick flintlock pistol attack midfight.
Remember having no clue on how to beat the final boss...tried for hours and eventually gave up
Yoooooo I forgot all about that one wtf
The first Crash for PS1 was especially difficult for its save mechanic: you could only save in bonus areas of the levels. And if you fail the bonus area, you don't get to retry. The difficulty would notably decrease if you could just save at the level select screen like in the remake.
Very true. That's why I never try going for 100 percent completion.
Yooo I just said this. I'll beat it one day . I have unfinished business. 😂
Tomb raider was not hard, because it was "hard." The controls made it mind numbingly hard.
Tomb Raider games were hard because you so easily get stuck not knowing where to go or what to do next and some of the areas were huge making it frustrating at times
The controls were pretty easy when you got the hang of them. They have set rules and are pretty precise due to the grid, you just have to learn timing and how far a standing jump will take you, how far a running jump will take you etc.
The save crystals didn't help, as a natural hoarder I kept pushing forward to far and having to play huge chunks of the game.
Tomb Raider 3 introduced some hard to find items required to save your game making the game extremely hard.
The 1st Metal Gear Solid game was freaking hard when I played through it... it took me like 9 months to beat...
Metal Gear Solid isn't so hard... if you play on ''easy'', or ''normal'' mode, xd! Plus, the hardest part was the battle with Metal Gear Rex AND Liquid Snake! All the other parts isn't so hard IF you had played similar games before!
And Also Hard To Navigate
wow you suck, I beat that game in like 5 days.
@@Harkness78 🍺🥇 Here is your prize, beer and medal.
You are better than all of us, you are master and leader of this world.
Really? I mean sure, if your going for like a perfect, no alert run or something crazy. But as far as just beating it, like less than a weekend brah. 3 or MAYBE 4 days on hard.
*Tenchu is a really cool and very difficult game. Especially bosses! Would add to this list the game Vagrand Story*
I hope tenchu comes back to current gen.....Sekiro was supposed to be a tenchu game but then plans were changed...im not hating on sekiro but I wish they'd have made a tenchu game that relies alot on stealth elements instead
@@3rdworldgwaming467 totally agree there, a proper tenchu game on current gen would have been epic
@@dumahdrummer654 I'd like a Tenchu 1 remake but with the original soundtrack kept because it was a masterpiece.
Crash bandicoot 1 its hardest game if yu try unlock all gems and diamond 😈.
Oh yeah! Remember that!
loved those games, it wasnt till like 4 years after the release back in the day i actually decided to go for it and managed to get all gems. Was a good time.
Back in that day, not many people realised that the first crash game actually had several bugs which would then be considered as a feature.
N.Sane Trilogy Crash 1 is much worse
Yes! Finally someone has mentioned heart of darkness, amazing game
TheRidg11 I want a remaster!
Heart of darkness was a cool game, I never got passed that place where you mostly swimming under water, and there are plants hidden that will eat you.
A hard game is War of the North
Or Monster Rancher...I mean seriously have u ever tried to complete it properly?
Monster Rancher has 2 b the most annoying game created...because there r so many ways 4 u to either lose your monster or for it to die.
I had such a guilty pleasure for Ninja Shadow Of Darkness & Sub Zero Mythologies
Wow did you even play that? Those graphics are so blurry. that i get nauseous just looking at it
O yea! Had the strategy guide and everything. :D
Admit it, you never had a PS1. If you had, you would have remembered Abe's Oddysee.
Classic abe farting
Yo, yo yo, yo yo, yo (slightly fades) yo, yo yo
Legitimately challenging puzzle platformer.
I had a PS1 and I never played or even heard of Oddworld at the time.
Bite me!
So right bruh
Waiting for classes to end so you can run home and turn on the PS.
The intro of the console by itself was music to the ears.
Late 90s and early 00s, those were the days...
I know that feel man...
That damn Driver parking garage tutorial! Man, that sucked. Rest of the game was great, though!
Yep, didn't even explain what a slalom was. I was stuck for hours
I was stuck also good memories for some reason lol
I remember my brother and I passing the controller back and forth to beat that mission.😆 After what seemed like an entire day we finally beat the tutorial
@@Ray__E Yeah, same with me and my brother. Hours wasted on a turorial!
@@fcukugimmeausername there was a frikin' video that showed the entire parking garage.
FF7 was hard at times, the Emerald and Ruby weapons were no joke man
most ppl dont count those cause they are optional
@@paulbeach8949 easy for me when i train for luck....enough...
Jokes on you I beat Rayman *AND* I did it without the 99 lives cheat. I just grinded to 99 lives instead.
Pro tip on the first Driver mission: on the main menu go into the "training" section, you'll find a video tutorial showing EXACTLY what you are supposed to do in order to pass. Once you know what to do, it's very easy to pull off.
Abes oddysee is one of my favorite games ever
as well as abes exodus
Gameranx please review the remake of exodus when it comes out!
Not sure if it's really still a remake of Exodus since they made so many changes, it seems. Hope I won't be disappointed since I knew about Exodus before the first game and am afraid they might not handle it like New 'n Tasty.
@@Chizuru94 I think oddworld will deliver
@@bootleg_24 omg I had no clue they were remaking it! 😍😍😍
@@stevenblassingame7042 yeah!
it been delayed so many times since 2016
but im so excited for it
exodus is fucking gold!
It's Soulstorm
Looney Tunes SHEEP RAIDER ghost level LMAO
Okirene what a game
No mention of R-type Delta? That game was fkn brutal, I still haven't beaten it without cheats
Was so glad to see King's Field get some representation.
Also... Want a hard game? Try No One Can Stop Mr. Domino.
Same, feel like the KF series is so underrated. Its not that hard once you learn to strife and time your attacks/dodge's
@@Mikko74 I love KF games, and yes after you learn how it goes, it gets easier, but still a challange, sad they got replaced by Dark Sould games, they are not my cup of tea.
Loved Ninja: Shadow of Darkness!!! Played the hell out of it while listening to DMX Flesh of My Flesh Blood of My Blood
Pr1m3x1 I had it on a demo disc with tomb raider
Funny I did tenchu with it's dark and hell is hot
@@duckthename6312 fellow cowboys fan ✊ ahh man you needed the real thing
@@jacoblemoine6238 1 of my fav albums ever! Still have my original disc lol. Always wanted to play tenchu. Never did purchase it tho
@@killswitch229 never to late bro. It's so fun and so much content
Thank you for mentioning Tomb Raider 3, my favorite game of all time.
You're welcome
Tomb Raider 3 was difficult, lol I rented it out and didn't take it back for weeks. Ended up having to pay the game shop almost as much as it would have cost to buy it in the first place.
Have to agree Baha it"s a real classic.
Hell yeah, that game is a legend
I remember going to Walden books in the mall when I was like 8 or 9 with my parents and I would always bring a notepad and I would sit in the floor and write cheats down while they shoppes
*_SNES games has joined the server_*
kid games joined the server.
Wait..... crash bandicoot is a hard game?
Now i can call myself as hardcore gamer
Finishing it wasn't that hard, getting all the gems, on the other hand..
The first one was waaaay harder than the others that followed, especially compared to something like warped. I played and loved warped first so when I tried the first crash I ragequit so many times I just eventually tried to 100% warped instead. May not be hardcore but definitely something worth mentioning. Besides, the list had all these obscure titles it was nice to see a very familiar one.
@@Vaguer_Weevil yes! It's really killing me to play the game without dying just to collect that damned colored gem
Not hard just frustrating
that driver tutorial was legit! and that one mission that you couldnt scratch your car....maaaaaaaan
Driver . had no idea what a slalom was until i randomly figured it out
The reverse 180 always gave me the most trouble.
I hadn't a clue what they meant by a Slalom either until I telephoned by cousins who already owned the game. After the fact I found out that in the main menu under "TRAINING" they have a video demo showing exactly what you are supposed to do in order to pull off the level.
Some so called human beings will never understand the meaning of, "These are our own personal choices" smh.
Plus, they get all salty because of that.
Its as if they take the "These are our own personal choices".........personally
@@TheNomad2727 ikr
what about Future Cop LAPD, that was a very hard game with weird controls
Lol yeah I never completed that one, platforming was really weird I always died from falling
Eat kaks
That game was easy for me, I unlocked even the extra stages on mp. It wasn't that hard.
@@CloudMcRip Maybe if I replayed it now it would be much easier, but I remember how much I struggled with that game as a young kid. I'm pretty sure I've done much harder things up till now in comparison like completing uncharted 1 in brutal mode so it's all just pretty much a matter of perspective.
That is just chess with robots
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver... enough said!!
Also Akuji
Blood Omen was brutal too
Soul reaver was easy compared to blood omen 1, the only thing that made soul reaver even remotely hard was you weren't told where to go, nice to see others that have played it 🙂
@@dumahdrummer654 I geeked out on both shortly after defeating castlevania sympathy of the night
When I was a kid, the start menu scared the crap it off me. I had to block the screen with my hand or close my eyes
I thought Alundra was a very Well designed Game. Never thought of it as hard but Simply challenging.
Sooooo damn happy you included Heart of Darkness! I remember when my mother bought it for me. Ahhhhhh, the good old days!
You have no idea how pleased I was that you mention Heart of Darkness.
Definitely a game that needs a HD remaster!
Definitely!! Loved that game ..
I beat the game but i went thru hell for it
Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories...anyone?
Well more time consuming than anything. If you could see me with a few pumpkings and some traps, it's truly terrifying to watch it all unfold before one's eyes. That and Jowls of dark demise. Ugh I almost wanna start another new playthrough now
Metal Gear Solid Special Missions. If you know, you know.
Oh Ninja Shadow Of Darkness probably my all time favorite PS1 game, what a fantastic game.
I have fond memories of playing the demo of this game over and over again back when demos came on cds.
Parasite Eve was super hard as well you should cover that another video
I still havent beat that game , it just take tooooo long
Yeah it was
I loved parasite eve 1 & 2
Bubsy 3D might be the hardest game on PS1 by default... hardest to stormach
You never played 2extreme. There were worse games.....
Believe it or not bubsy 3d is actually a bit difficult of a game, mainly because of its brokenness. I used to play that game all the time as a small child thinking it was awesome lol.
Tenchu was easy as hell once you find out the ultimate gamebreaking technique. the rice ball.
1. throw rice ball
2. guard walks to it
3. shank em
4. reclaim rice ball
Jay CFC hanging from the ceiling above it. 😂😂😂😂
Wow! Thanks for this actually. Lol
Hard ... difficult ... Hikimaru facing multiple enemies like a samurai ... "Come on man, climb on that roof and jump from house to house to the boss's open window!" 30seconds tops!
I loved heart of darkness! I played this game over and over when i was a kid. I think it's such an underrated game.
HOLY CRAP NUMBER 6!! I FORGOT THE NAME OF THIS GAME TILL TODAY!! THANKS GAMERANX!!!
Resident evil 1 should be added to the list for sure.
Tarzan, chicken run, Dino crisis, all of the tomb raider games, abes oddesey, nightmare creatures
I haven't even passed Abe's Oddysee yet. It requires a lot of trial and error, not to mention patience.
