Of course, by “fast-paced gameplay developer Treasure was known for,” I really mean “incredibly difficult gameplay.” Mischief Makers isn’t Treasure’s hardest game, but its combination of tough 2D action and sometimes confusing platforming/puzzle segments means that it keeps you on your toes in a way that other games simply do not. While it didn’t get a lot of love when it was released in 1997, Mischief Makers has gone on to become a true cult classic among those who appreciate its bizarre style and the kind of fast-paced gameplay developer Treasure is known for. It’s that combination of not knowing where you’re going and constantly dying while trying to figure it out that makes this one so special. This sequel’s absurdly difficult boss fights are enough to make most sane gamers call it quits, but what makes this game legendary among challenge seekers are its incredible long and surprisingly complicated levels. Turok 2 may not immediately spring to mind when you think about the hardest FPS games of a golden era of hard FPS games, but make no mistake that this somewhat underrated N64 title belongs in that elite class. GoldenEye’s harder difficulty levels and hidden challenges were tough, but Perfect Dark was a downright cruel FPS experience that sometimes doesn’t get enough love from fans of hard games. The underwater maze section alone is enough to make even a patient gamer put a controller sized hole through their TV.

“Beat” really is the word to keep in mind here, as Conker’s final levels force you to navigate a series of challenges that destroy the difficulty curve so thoroughly that you’ll start to wonder if something has gone wrong. If you’ve only ever played the Xbox remake of this famously mature ( or, more accurately, immature) 3D platformer, you may be shocked to learn that the original Conker’s Bad Fur Day is a shockingly tough game to beat. You should also forget about trying to 100% this game unless you’re a glutton for punishment. Somewhat imprecise controls and absurdly powerful late-game enemies join forces to bring your blood to a boil. This game’s puzzles and labyrinthian level design are arguably enough to earn it a spot on this list, but what really puts this game over-the-top is the action. This somewhat underrated early 3D Indiana Jones game is also one of the N64’s most surprisingly difficult experiences.
It’s an old-school RTS that demands rapid reaction times and the kind of micromanagement that many other games just don’t prepare you for. That said, the N64’s controls really highlight how tough StarCraft could be.
