ANy game where you have to repeatedly repeat part of a level you can easily do with your eyes closed that still takes 10+ mins to do, just to get to a hard bit and die immediately until youve completed that same 10 minutes of a level enough times to figure out what to do.
and.. um... some of the latter bad guys in Zelda 2 on the NES. Couldn't figure out what the hell it was you had to do to kill them!
I spent so long on that one, the save game battery became flat and corrupted my game save, giving me infinite magic and some random start location along with corrupted info at the stats.
Mario DS: Going all the way up the stairs to the last level, entering a level, then falling out of the level, landing right in the front area of the castle, having to do the same run up the stairs again.
ANY game with a time limit.
ANY game that gives you 3 lives to complete everything, and once you lose, youre right back to level 1. Moreso, games that give you 3 lives to complete everything, and NO extra lives.
Final Fantasy: the stupid length battles. I loved FF8 but only after i gave me and the enemy 9999hp damage on each hit, so that it was still fair, but didnt take 30 mins to win a hard boss.
Megaman: most of the bosses.
Prince of Persia, WW:
Turning into the sand beast thing before your supposed to when you didnt have an earlier save.
Prince of Persia, WW: bugs that allow you to explore where you shouldnt be yet. Like, a big, pure black wall that i could walk through, to appear hanging the other side off the castle wall.
Prince of Persia, TSOT: SPAWN SPAWN SPAWN. stop that @#!*, i killed you already. 30 minutes of BLOCK, SWIPE, BLOCK, STAB.
Super mario Bros/world/any similar type game: Being killed at level 8-4 koopa, with 1 life left (and in some games, no continues) :/
