RiftCreeper Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 What games made you so frustrated as a kid you wanted to scream?!? Megaman 2 although one of my favorite games, it has scared me emotionally during childhood from the shear difficulty... Disappearing blocks anyone. Ghosts n Goblins.. nuff said. Last but not least.. Battletoads! Damn good game but I never could make it past the turbo tunnel. I eventually did a few years ago .. with some help ahem *save states* ahem. I swear the collision detection in that turbo tunnel is off! One of these days I'm tearing into the assembly to figure out how it all works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Childhood ? I'm getting more scarred by games now in my old age. I'm looking at you Souls series games, so muc swearing at the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'd didn't play Video Games as a kid (they didn't exist, then), but I got plenty frustrated playing games as an adult. It was a Godsend when Nintendo started putting batteries in cartridges, so you could save your progress, and not have to START OVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 You and I had similar childhoods, haha. Especially Battletoads. The few times I managed to get passed the jetski intestine part, I was so frazzled and had so few lives that I just couldn't perform anymore haha. Add to the list Marble Madness (NES), Ghostbusters (NES), Friday the 13th (NES), and lastly The Smurfs for my friends Atari 2600. That game... True story, I just picked The Smurfs back up recently and discovered YOU CAN DOUBLE JUMP. It all makes sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadesh Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I agree with you, it makes more difficult to move to one stage to another and sometimes frustrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps4isthefuture Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 My first system was the Intellevision. So yes I have been gaming from the early 80's. I never really had any game make me overly upset...until the online FPS came around. 3 seconds after spawning getting killed by some 10 year old on the other side of the world before I even know where I was, lol. Probably why I don't play online multi-player games now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing Dark Souls 3... it's just punishing. I think it may be harder than the previous games, but I have read people saying that it's easier. That may just be e-brag though. But yeah... back in the day when you couldn't save console games... dying meant starting over. You had to really want it. lol *edit* On the flip side though... when you beat one of those games back when we were kids we were celebrating and jumping around... it was a big deal. You beat a game now and you are like... eh, when's the DLC? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weltall Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I never liked hard ass games. I am a casual gamer and I absolutely hate games that will break my neck. Hmmm.. the most frustrating I can think is maybe Chip and Dale on NES? I remember I played that with a friend and loved the game, but it was hard as sit at some points and never finished it back then. I guess for me it was more like how much I liked the game, rather than how hard it was though. Even if my memory is not good, I can confirm this feeling with Dwarf Fortress that is newer. God I hate that game. Not only it is hard, but it is 100% unfair and does not care one bit about giving a breath of air to the player. I have never managed to advance too much, even if people say it can be really easy, but even if it kicks my ass every time and even if I hate it so much, whenever someone asks me about it, I tell them it is an awesome game. I just can't help myself liking hard games I guess, as long as they are pleasing me. One of the weirdest moments of my gaming was with Wild Guns on SNES. It was so well made and it looked awesome and when I eventually played it with a cousin I beat it.. but this is one of the good games I played, that for some reason I did not enjoy. Maybe it is because when I was a little kid I used to play in an arcade machine Cabal. What an awesome game. I never managed ot beat it, but it felt so awesome... and yet Wild Guns that was better.. didn't reach me I guess. I can also point out Ghosts and Goblins... but honestly even if the game frustrated me, I eventually jsut gave up on it. I am considering that one, a game that never made an impact on me, be it good or bad. I played it from the Arcade version up to the last one being the SNES version that was.. Super... well at least it had super in the title. Really hard ass game, but low motivation for me sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmoore_82 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Whether it was in the arcade or on the NES Marble Madness lived up to it's name, even to this day it makes me upset but still continue to play it regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
