I’ve played a lot of video games in my days, and I love them as your probably know.
There is this sense of accomplishment to ‘beating a game’ right? That sense of completion and seeing the ending and the fruits of your labor! Then sometimes you just want to chuck your controller at the wall and yell out ‘F*** THIS?’ Ughhhhhhh I have a few of those, and here is a quick list of video games that have defeated me over the years.
Mega Man X3 (SNES)
I LOOOOVE the Mega Man X games, and X3 is no exception…but when the final boss Kaiser Sigma comes up? Dude…you have to be SO precise in your buster shots and need every single tick of life you have…the last time I tried to beat this guy I put the controller down in exaustion one night and said, ‘I’ll try tomorrow.’ I never did….
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Famously known for it’s insane difficulty and the Dam level right? Honestly once you know the Dam level, it really isn’t horrible…it’s the second part of the game that gets you. Just ENDLESS enemies, and if you are lucky enough to get to the Technodrome? You are GUARENTEED to lose….I have beaten it with a God Mode code, but legit gameplay? Yea right…
Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues
Another game where you get into ‘gamer mode,’ meaning you put sit hunched over, eyes on the screen, and elbows in the knees. Every single corner you turn in this game, there is just something to kill you. You could be running along and then FLAMETHROWER GUY just DESTROYS YOU! The game is fantastic, but good god…this one was meant to frustrate. Even with the lackluster Game Genie codes, this game STILL gave me a run for my money and I don’t think I could ever beat this game legit, and? I could only do the Easy mode, and it’s still impossible!
Earthworm Jim (Sega Genesis)
That god….damn….submarine level…it was meant to piss you off, and still does to this day. To this day, I still can’t beat the stupid long part of the submarine level, and every time I try to give it a shot? I just die…and it’s so FRUSTERATING when you get into a rhythm right? Then you HIT a wall, cracks start to show and it throws you off until you die. I HATE THAT DAMN SUBMARINE LEVEL!
Comix Zone (Sega Genesis)
Stylistically this game looks amazing….but, does this game just exist for you to lose? I think so! Every single thing hurts you in this stupid game…gotta move those block? Well, better punch them out of the way, OH, and you’re losing health WHILE YOU PUNCH THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WAY TO PROGRESS THE GAME! Come ooooooooooonnnnn dude….I still have not made it past the 2nd level of this game cause I always run out of stupid health, oh….and that part where you need a specific item to make the jump? OHHH and the fact that when you die, the game could just end without knowing you have continues or anything then you gotta start ALLLLLLL OVERRRRR
