California Games: Seriously? WTF? I can skate IRL I swear! Pitfall: Dude... jump f%$^er!!! .. and if the Atari 2600 joystick was standard today, all kids today would have huge arms and tiny legs, I swear. That thing was like wrestling an alligator. Asteroids: No brakes? WTF kind of future is this? Ms. Pac Man: You had to one-up the old man huh? *shakes head* ...your turn...
Shadowrun was the biggest piece of crap I have ever played. I was mildly amused by the single player "experience", but the matchmaking was so buggy and unpredictable it was unbearable. I tried to sell it the day after buying, but the reviews and problems had already hit the street and no one wanted to touch it. I ended up trading it in and losing $20 and how many ever minutes of my life that I will never get back playing it.
horrible controls hard as fuck it kicks my ass near the end. never beat it. when the aliens ambushed you, it was fucking over.
..another one.. Robotron: ummm.. the trackball was good for Centipede... this sucked. TURN YOUR SPEAKERS DOWN 70% http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay35...ts.com/tag/twin-stick&feature=player_embedded YeAH...
oh man, where to fucking start. i swear to fuck this game was so hard, i cant believe i bought it and kept it for so long. talk about trying to snap my nes gamepad in half SOO many times. i fucking HATED this game, go figure its made by LJN. as much as i loved bttf i wanted to finish this game and see the ending.. never made it.. it took me several years just to figure out half the game.
You did't post the "WHY" ... though yes, Battletoads....ugh. Without the "Why' this thread is just a rant.....
Mystic Defender on Sega Genesis. A decent side-scroller for the most part, but at one point you have to jump over pedestals floating in lava and it was damn near impossible for me. It just ramped up the difficulty radically and suddenly and ruined the game...
I second Battle Toads. I even subscribed to Nintendo Power magazine because it always had tips for this game. Hardest thing I have ever played.
LOL, now call up Gamestop and ask them if they have it in stock. I remember playing my brother's old 2600 back when I was a widdle guy. God, some of those games were un-fucking-believably hard. We had this Olympics game with a special controller with two buttons. There were several different events, but no matter what it is, you have to jam A and B back and forth in a rhythm like you're John Bonham. The various Mega Man games used to piss me off like crazy. I swear, they're impossible!
Another infuriating game? Last Battle for Sega Genesis. The controls were horrible, and the bosses required you to memorize a specific sequence of moves in order to beat them. Fuck up and you'd basically be sent back to the beginning.
Are you kidding? You spin 180 to the direction you were going and hit the trust!! Ugh...newbs. For the record.....Joust and SWAT pissed me off.
Mario 64 pissed me off so much I took the system back to toys r us and returned it! It pissed me off not because it was hard but because after playing it for so long to get every star I was rewarded with a super weak ass ending!
lurker, the first game is festers quest.. more like festering drippage. i cant play mario 64. the controls are utter shit. i dont see how it became a popular mario game. seconding the superman 64 game. i accidentally inherited it from a friend and its as bad as they say. and some.
Crackpipe swears by the Mario 64 DS...The camera movement was so awkward I stopped. I never realized how important that was until I played that game.
