Hardest games you will commit to beating one day
I would say:
Starship Hector
Ikari Warrios Series
Mutant Virus
Are on my list for the nes. Might go into other consoles/computers later on.

Also, U.N. Squadron. That game as eluded me for 25 years.
I've also never legitimately completed Metroid from start to finish but I will one day soon.
I'm not sure that I really have the stability to power through Ghosts 'n Goblins. It's one of those games that hits a point in the later stages where the frustration outweighs the fun and I start throwing obscenities at the TV.
And what with the recent news about the upcoming remake/remaster of System Shock (holy hell, you wouldn't believe how excited I am for this), I'm going to be revisiting System Shock 2 and finish the final stage this time. Those were some of the best games ever made.
I'm still committed to beating Ninja Gaiden one day. I can get to the second form of the last boss but have never seen beyond that.
The easiest way is to make it to that boss with the spin-slash attack and kill it with one hit. I had to do that when I beat the game for the first time.

Im pretty sure once you fight the first boss form in area 6 you lose all your magic. Unless you mean to beat the first form, die, and then start over from 6-1 and get the spin slash. Thats WAY harder than just practicing his feel IMO.

I had no idea you could do this until recently. I beat this as a kid and what my brother and I would do is come fully stocked with fire weapon.
The stratergy was always to beat the first form and then you would die on the second because you were out of the fire weapon. Then start 6-1 again and come back to the 2nd form with full fire and beat it. Amazing how people would play games so different.

The ideal way is to beat all forms in one go with the sword, but that takes a bunch of practice.
I still think that the Ninja Gaiden 2 final bosses are even more difficult to beat with the sword, especially the second form.
I'm also stuck on looping the last level of Ninja Gaiden due to not being able to beat the boss.
So, my list looks like this right now:
#1 - Battletoads
#2 - Ninja Gaiden
#3 - Silver Surfer
#4 - Ghosts 'N Goblins
I never beat Castlevania III either.

It's easier for most beginners to get back to the second form with the spin-slash than it is to learn to beat the second form with the sword.
Big surprise, I know!
I should beat Zelda II someday. I got to the Thunderbird boss as a kid and haven't made any serious attempt at beating it since.

Go for Castlevania 3 it can finished in a few days.
Although 25 years later I still haven't beaten Castlevania 1
Castlevania III

Which part do you have trouble with in Castlevania? Frankenstein and Grim Reaper are easily killed with the holy water.
On other systems, I still want to beat Shadow of the Beast II (Genesis) on Ridiculous difficulty. I came close a couple of times...
Battletoads
Silver Surfer
Ninja Gaiden 3
Castlevania III

Grim Reaper (without a game genie LOL). I've seen a video that suggests that strategy (you experts make it look sooo easy. )but I haven't sat down and tried it.
Now that I've seen what the ending is like I"m not sure it's worth it.
BTW, last time I tried it even with a Game Genie I still couldn't beat Drac. LOL
Castlevania Chronicles on the PS1 was another. Maybe the 4th boss was too tough.
Probably TMNT. There's harder ones of course but I'm not going to commit to them. I have been trying a no death run on Contra but can only get to level 6 before dying.
Where are you getting hung up on Energy Zone? The first part is easiest if you jump across to the platform with the first turret gunner, take out his buddy, then drop down one level and get the sniper. Then get past the first flame thrower and take out the gunners on the bottom. Then it's a matter of patience with the flamethrowers before you snag the barrier and can then breeze through all the way to the boss (robotic stompy SJW trigglypuff).
I still haven't devised a foolproof strategy for the alien heart, but if it's going to happen, that's where I usually end up dying.

You can also kill the knights with one hit with the holy water, making the section with the knights and madusa heads leading up to the Grim Reaper much easier.
I am so terrible at it, I died to Metalman on the Willy stages using Metal Blade.
I haven't beaten some of the Mega Man games and will do that some day.
Which ones? At least for the NES ones, they get easier after the third one.
Seeing some of these responses makes me feel like a BA for beating Castlevania III (and all of the other non-Metroidvania games in the series) and Zelda II
I'd like to beat at least one of the other Mega Man NES games this year. I've only ever beat 2. I'm just awful at them for some reason.

I've beaten the first Castlevania, Castlevania IV and Rondo of Blood. But for some reason I've never played Castlevania III much.
