That sounds like an STD. Dare I ask what the concept was behind this game? :Q

Am I the only one who thinks Double Dragon II for PC is almost impossible? The only way my brother and I could finish it was with the help of a HEX editor..... and if the last big fat guys got youand left you "floating" you were done So many hours spent, and never could kill the machine gun guy

Megaman X4 for the PS1, I breezed through X5, but DAMN X4 was hard.
Halo 2 on Legendary, could NEVER get past the 3rd level, had to beat that game on Heroic

 

[SilentZero]

Oregon Trail. That damn wagon keeps breaking!

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Zombies at my Neighbors. If you used a password to continue you didn't get the items you previously collected and you needed those to win... so there essentially wasn't a way to save progress...

 

[spc hink]

Mindsweep. I just figured that those numbers actually meen something a couple of months ago.

lol:

"What the hell is an Irritating Stick?" you may ask, since the question's been drilling into your head the moment you read the title to this review. Well, simply put, Irritating Stick is a videogame version of that carnival game where you slap down a buck and try to maneuver a metal rod through a metal maze without touching the sides. More accurately, though, Irritating Stick is the US localized version of a Japanese PlayStation game based on Dengeki Iraira Bou (Irritating Electric Stick, for those that need the direct translation) -- a gameshow in Japan where you really do get electrocuted if you touch the sides.

E.T. for the Atari. Worst game of all time.

If one game cartridge could be selected as the symbol of the sudden demise of Atari's golden goose, however, it would have to be the ill-fated E.T. The head of Warner Communications made a deal with Steven Spielberg to produce a home video game version of Spielberg's blockbuster E.T. film. Basing a video game on a movie rather than an established arcade hit or a tested game premise (and expecting it to sell simply because of the popularity of the film) was a questionable enough decision, but the sheer awfulness of the finished product was unprecedented. Atari rushed E.T. through development in a matter of months to get it onto the market in time for Christmas, and the result was a virtually unplayable game with a dull plot and crummy graphics in which frustrated players spent most of their time leading the E.T. character around in circles to prevent him from falling into pits. Atari produced five million E.T. cartridges, and according to Atari's then-president and CEO, "nearly all of them came back."

I still have mine somewhere around here lol.

landing in a real flight sim is much much easier than landing in that game . . .

landing a real plane is probably easier than landing in that game

Chips Challenge

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Cliffhanger for Super Nintendo. That damn avalanche. Also Far Cry pissed me off a lot.
Oh and Zombies ate my Neigbbors sucked ass. That game was probably impossible to beat.

 

[Dave332]

not sure if it's been mentioned, but Super Star Wars (SNES)

 

[RampantAndroid]

I found that NFS Most Wanted was pretty friggen annoying....deleted it...got rid of it...USELESS game....perfoamce issues...and really ****** physics/storyline/gameplay

 

[rpc64]

OMG the speed bikes in the Battletoad games!! Definitely one of the most frustrating things ever.

I actually played and beat E.T. on the Atari. I don't remember much about it now, I was very young when the Atari was around.

 

[nfamous]

Jurassic Park for the SNES...

You need to collect all these id cards and equipment...they were never in the same place...i made maps!!!.....and there was no save. You also spent most of the game backtracking...which drove me nuts too

I wonder why this thread hasn't been moved to the correct forum?
