C'mon, you've got to give me at least one nominee. How about original X-Com? I'm trying toget some newr games on the list though.
WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 on the PSP is hardcore as hell. It has a 4 minute loading time when you load up the game and it's probably the worst you'll find on a console.
I remeber playing Impossible Mission on C64 - it was true to it's name. Re-released on DS if you want to be nostaligic (don't it's not worth it).
I will look into WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006, sounds like a good candidate.
Ninja Bread Man (Wii)

After some resaerch your game has made the list.
Working with my lead creative force for gameunder I have numbers 1 and 2 locked up, but still looking for #4 and #3 for the list.

Do you wish to elaborate? Thought occurred, maybe Trials is a nominee?
The original TMNT game is too damn hardcore. How are you supposed to beat that?
Like most arcade games it was a quarter muncher, and the game on its own was pretty damn hard. So you die pretty quickly and put another quarter into play. Unless you died on the last 2 levels. And then it didn't give you an option to continue. That was it. At that point your options were either Walk away or take a second mortgage out on the home to get enough quarters to get to that point again and maybe do better.
Observer is a pretty hardcore game. I've yet to finish it, but it's a really cool atmospheric first-person cyberpunk adventure game starring the late great Rutger Hauer as the main character. It's a very creepy game. I'm like halfway through it...I really need to get back to it.
dammnit, I did not check in on this thread yesterday (I was lazing arond sick all day).
I've now posted 10-2, with just one game to go, so none of these will make the cut, sorry gents. I had not heard of Observer Edge.
Animal Crossing. If you are hardcore enough to lay pathways and regrow lost grass.

I assume this will be number one.

The number 1 entry on your list...I used to devour that series. I had at least 4 installments of it that came out during a 5 year period. Unfortunately those later ones just got too hardcore for me and I had to accept my status as "newb."
I've got to say, this was one of my most favorite things I've asked you guys to contribute to.
Top Ten Games for Hardcore Gamers — Game Under Podcast
It was also the second highest traffic on gmaeunder.net for 2021. I sent it to a few of the remaining video game sites, so it probably got some back-channel traffic.
It humoured me to put together a list of the <see topic>. I've done the first three, I want to put up the remaining 7 over the next couple of days. I have my own ideas, do you guys have any suggestions?
The list is kind of commentary, hopefully you can get the feel for it with your suggestions. Of course most lists would include the Souls games, Ninja Gaiden etc... but that's not the theme I am going for.
