There are a lot of games I have not beat. But there are a few that stand out in my mind:
Destiny of an Emperor - Basically, Romance of the Three Kingdoms in RPG form. It was for the NES, had terrible graphics and a brilliant storyline. It was difficult as hell though because you had to wonder around doing all this crap with little-to-no instructions. It is still one of my favorite NES games regardless.
Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom - I have been playing the game, on and off, since it came out for Super Nintendo. I still haven't even come close to beating it. I hear the max level is somewhere around 65,535.. but I've gotten to about 20. I'm going to play it safe and say 999 is the highest level. But yeah, game is damn hard. Oh yeah, the same pretty much goes for every Wizardry game. Except maybe 8. I haven't played much of that one. All are pretty much hard though.
Final Fantasy III - Uh, yeah. Onion Kids. I could not beat that Dragon Creature. With the closed off city, reachable only by airship. Yeah. That place. Couldn't do it.
I could probably go on. But those three stand out in my memory the most. NES and SNES were the golden age of difficult RPGs. Now you just have games built for graphics and possibly storyline. Difficulty isn't really a factor in games anymore.
