The first game that really taught me what brutal is, was the game Phantasie III: Wrath of Nicademus. I had the Amiga 500 version (I believe there were atari/pc versions as well, maybe even c64/tandy) and it was completely merciless. I ran up so many parties that died ignobly because they were asleep and got ambushed by monsters or I strayed just a shade too far from the starting town and got murdered by pretty much anything. Sometimes it was just a case of "Well, my wizard just lost his right arm and leg and I can't fix that until my priest gets Healing III/IV and the Priest has a crushed head and is OUT. Time to make a new Wizard!". Then when your entire party finally did die, you got sent off to judgement and that rear end in a top hat thing just destroyed them outright or made them into undead partymembers who couldn't level up and were stuck at level 15 (despite not actually having any improved stats of being said level). Rarely he'd resurrect them. I think that game is what caused my chronic battle with altitis. I still haven't beaten it, I give it a try every other year or so. I also had an MSX Express, which as far as I can remember was basically an MSX, except it was white and maybe a tiny bit faster? I played the poo poo out of Maze of Galious II on that thing, until one fateful day the arrow keys on it broke and it was forever going to the right whenver you tried to play a game. (This thread is awesome)
