The other day while playing Ninja Gaiden II on the Wii VC I finally quit out of sheer frustration on the final boss. Die on Jaquio? Back to the beginning of the level with you. It's the kind of ball-busting horrendous difficulty that came standard with many NES games.
What games are most difficult for you? Which ones frustrate you to the point of rage-quitting or tossing a controller? These need not be 8-bit games, but those are the ones that stand out in my mind the most.
Here are some of mine from the NES:
Ninja Gaiden Triology - GODDAMN these games are hard D;<
Mega Man - V wasn't so bad, but the rest are pretty rough with the original being the most punishing.
Super Mario Bros. - For me the original is tough.
Contra - Uh-huh.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - That fucking swimming stage with all of the electric seaweed ****. It haunts me even now...
Battletoads - I haven't played this since childhood but I remember not being able to get past the third stage where you were on a motorcycle hitting ramps and jumping stone walls.
Metroid - A true classic. But, boy, is it a *****. I remember killing the fake Kraid as a child and wondering what I was doing wrong when I couldn't advance.
