Anyone remember the video game?

"Freakin' tough" is putting it mildly. And yeah, there was a sequel called "The Mafat Conspiracy," which was every bit as hard as the original. I'd like to see them remake those (or just make a new Golgo 13 title altogether) for a modern system like the PS3 or XBox 360.

Probably my all-time NES favorite, next to Final Fantasy 1. Never was able to finish it though; never could get past some type of (snow?)beasties or other. I've always been curious how close I got to the end . . .

I just ran across the Manga/Anime. I didn't know it existed.
I never beat Golgo 13. I'd make it to the clones in SMIRK? and die every time. Just couldn't get past it. That game used to drive me crazy.

Why settle for the lesser of two evils? Vote Cthulhu!

Namco (Namco Bandai now) made a Golgo 13 arcade game in 1999, but sadly, it was only released in Japan. It was a arcade shooter similar to Konami's Silent Scope series where, as Golgo 13, you had to take out targets quickly with a VERY small time limit (usually 10 seconds). In one stage, you had to assassinate a inmate at a prison through a revolving door.

I haven't played this game before. I would love to play it for myself when it's eventually re-released on digital. ^_^

Golgo 13 for the NES (the first one) is indeed a tough game, with one of the toughest bosses you will ever fight against. I remember playing this game most of the night, getting close to the end then pausing it to get a few hours of sleep. When I woke up I decided to skip school that day and try to finish it. I believe you were given 52 continues or some weird number like that. I finally made it to the final boss, where you had to destroy a bunch of clone vats that kept producing clones, who in turn would take shots at you from all sides...while a timer was counting down. One of the most stressful experiences in any video game. I didn't beat it that day, but a few months later I figured out the pattern and got familiar enough with the clone room to finally beat it.

Also, it is the only NES game with an implied sex scene. You meet a girl (Cherry Grace?) and it shows a view of your hotel room window. You see her silhouette move towards you, the lights go out, then your energy meter fills up. Duke was even getting laid 8-bit style!

The sequel, Mafat Conspiracy, is good, but it doesn't have the charm the first one did.
