I know all of us have at least 1 game that made us swear up and down that (insert developer name) made the game fucking impossible!!! Games that have made us lose sleep, games that made us resort to Game Genie, games that made us fucking twitch. So, let's name a couple of them!!
Battletoads (NES) - 3 words, FUCK...SPEEDER BIKES!!!! ANYONE that has ever played this game will understand exactly what I mean. It's a great game, don't get me wrong, it's always enjoyable, but damn is it a hard sonofabitch!!!
Ninja Gaiden (multiple consoles) - You know, it seems like all the old games were always really tough, then when they made a remake on a newer console, it was easier. Ninja Gaiden is NOT one of those games!!! On the NES/SNES, it was a simple enough game, it's easy for the most part except for a couple of big fat "FUCK YOU BEEYOTCH!" flaws. Back in these days, games like that just LOVED having the "if you get hit, you go backwards" crap. The problem with half of the enemies in this game is half of them appear right as you get to the next screen, and you half a fraction of a second to react!!! Then if you're skilled enough and LUCKY enough to get to the boss, if you die, guess where you go? ALL the way back to the fucking beginning!!! Then the X Box version came out, and guess what? IT WAS AN EVEN BIGGER WHORE!!!! Anyone that has beaten all of these games, hats off to you! You have done the impossible!!!
Contra 3: The Alien Wars (SNES) - Holy shit balls! It's no secret that anyone that can beat ANY Contra game is a fucking legend, but this one... FUCK THIS ONE!! 2 players at the same time? Surely you'll beat Contra now!! No....you won't! It gave us a nice feature called "Fuck over your friend"! What is it you may ask? Well, in level 1, you get a big tank to plow through everybody with, but what you don't find out until you finally do it, is if even half a pixel of that damn tank touches your friend, your friend is FUCKED! No health bar, nothing. You get hit once by ANYTHING... and you're fucking done!!
