I think Quake III : Arena had a great "Nightmare!" difficulty. The bots had good aim, but were also smart. In order to beat them, you had to play smart AND have some skill. I would call this "fun hard".

I played Half Life on the hardest difficulty. The enemies weren't particularly difficult, they just took lots of damage, meaning you were running out of ammo all the time. This wasn't particularly "stupid hard", just stupid. It was less about skill, and more about conserving ammo.
