[kreactor]

any suggestion for an appealing yet basically impossible
(looks easy but frustrating!!!) game

bonus point for cutesy, gear toward kids

(not as scary as the maze exorcist game tho)

 

[sweenish]

Long Live the Queen, perhaps?

Check out the roguelike games such as FTL, Binding of Issac, Desktop Dungeons, etc.

Portal 2

(child friendly and can be frustrating (even for adults).

 

[ImpulsE69]

if you want simple but impossible -- i wanna be the boshi and those games related to it. They will have you pulling your eyeballs out.

Its not simple but it's impossible to win and yes its frustrating.....Dwarf Fortress
I really want to understand this game but the UI and no mouse interface, oh man!

Risk of Rain

 

[irishScott]

The original Ninja Gaiden on NES or appropriate emulator.

Rogue Legacy. Not impossible to win but will take a long, long time.

 

[TheSlamma]

Splosion Man or Ms. Splosion Man

Dark Souls was easier for me than that game was

binding of isaac

The original Ninja Gaiden on NES or appropriate emulator.

Super Meat Boy.

By far the hardest game you'll ever play. There's like 800 levels in it, too.

XCOM on Impossible Ironman.

EDIT: heres some gameplay footage for those who havent seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mDjFdetU28

Basically, you need to last 60 seconds to beat whatever level you're on. The whole game only has 6 different levels, but ive somehow managed to dumb anywhere from 10-20 hours into it so far, and ive only beaten 2 of the 6 levels.

I hated it at first, and would often die really quick even on the first level, but its such a quick game and easy to pick up that I kept coming back, and loving it.

The closest thing I can compare it to is hotline miami. (in terms of getting killed over and over, but just jumping back in every time)

My Hero on Sega Master System emulator. Not very responsive controls + touching anything kills you + lots of knifes and shit flying around.

You will be pissed off, I don't think anyone was good at this game.

My grandson who is a teenger, played that game a lot and liked it. Each to his own I guess, but I dont really understand why one would want to play a deliberately frustrating game--- I get enough of that in real life.

Anyway, I would also probably agree with FTL, looks simple, but very difficult to win.

It took 14 posts to get to this...

Yeah Super Meat Boy, its extremely difficult! Well not early on but the difficulty ramps up.
