You should look into the Genesis or Turbografx versions ;)

my vote goes to Ghosts N Goblins or Ghouls N Ghosts. I find them both brutal, but I always have fun giving it a try.

Ikaruga by far. I don't think I'll ever beat it on anything but easy mode! And the few times I've beaten it on easy my scores were still terrible.

So fun, but I find it so frustrating trying so hard only to keep failing.

Because it's one of the hardest shooters you can find.

Ikaruga is really easy compared to DOJ.
The pic shows the 3rd Boss while the game has 5 Stages (with a huge difficulty spike on the 5th)

If you clear certain conditions you are allowed to go into a second loop which is twice as hard as the regular 5 stages.
