So IGN has this list up of hardest games. I'll give them most of the titles on that list as I've played the majority of them.
Then they go and put Megaman on there. Now, if they put any entry from the Zero series in there, or the later X games (like 5 on), I'd have their back. They put the FIRST one in there though.
Yes, it didn't have save points, but hard? Perhaps, but nothing nearly approaching the level of those other games. Megaman actually got EASIER from there for a while. The first X game was noted as being almost offensively easy in fact. Megaman is an interesting series mainly because in the current era, they seem to have substituted ridiculous difficulty for innovation. The current Megaman games are way harder than the old ones.
What should they have put in there? Well, I for one submit that Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels (Japan's SMB2) would be a great contender. That game was HARD.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
