Here's someone clearing it without continue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70iFdnI-xfA
there's actually a hidden *true* boss you will only unlock after you beat the first one with out using continue, and it's more difficult as well, especially the near-end part where bombs won't work, it will be invulnerable to your bullets and bombs when bomb is thrown or when you have just spawned being invulnerable yourself.
This game is the sequel to "Mushihime sama", whose boss is just as hard. It's also a two-part final boss fight where you have to beat the first one without continue to unlock the second one. The *true* boss also comes with invulnerability to your bombs toward the end.

There are many ways to win with no issue. Mass counterattack materia, mime+counter with KOTR+HP return, etc... Most are variants of the mime+counter, though.
It don't look so bad now, but back in the day as a kid, without any guides, or internet, or cheats it was so difficult I never managed to do it.
I don't trust half the gamers now, its like cheats, and action replays and faqs, emulators, its not the same as getting to a boss and dying so often and then having to work so hard to get there again as it was when you were a kid.
GnG (both versions) are quite difficult. Even with infinite continues I didn't actually finish them completely as a kid. If you do finish it, you have to restart from the beginning again to do it for real.
can't really force myself. i've finished bg2 12 times exactly (5 times with tob) so i tried to finish everything from bg1 1 more LAST time, imported the character after finishing bg1, and played the darkest day. now i'm at the asylum, and lost the...inspiration to play. god can't force me.
I once played Blood2 on hard and it was all good until I reached some boss. I shot him for 2 hours with every weapon and special item I got, no effect. After that I was so disgusted with the game I never played it again. The end.
I once played quake1 on hard and it was all good until I reached some lava boss. I shot him for 2 hours with every weapon and special item I got, no effect. After that I was so disgusted with the game I never played it again. The end.
I played through Blood2 on easy or whatever and the boss was dead after a short time. Also, he who doesn't beat shub niggurath is not worthy of playing quake.
Cave shumps are insane. Unless you've played every level and memorized each and every section, you'll die. I've been playing DoDonPachi causally over the months and can't get past stage 1-6.
There are many, the first one that comes to mind is form "Wonder Boy in Monsterland" in the level where you entered a pyramid, the boss was a sphinx that asked some questions, if you knew the answer he would die instantly (ofc you had to play many times to learn each Q/A combination) but if you answered wrong, he was nearly impossible to kill, even full stacked of fireballs and thunders.
vamp in metal gear solid 2 was a real bitch at European extreme.
I can remember some bosses in final fantasy that could be a real cock blocker also. But most are manageable after some tactics :)
the most difficult boss is the fucker in the cannonball game on my samsung d900i, europe location on expert difficuly, must win 3 maps out of 5. pretty much impossible. i managed to win 2. 2 times out of...200.
