without cheating? Seriously, one of the most hair pulling, overly difficult games ever. I'd maximize every single bonus possible for an insane amount of extra lives and take advantage of a loophole to get my boat maxed out on the very first level and I still only got about 3/4's of the way through (a little past the giant shark head boss fight)
other impossible (or at least hallmarks in frustration) games:
Battle Toads- every single version ever made except for that double dragon one
Legacy of the Wizard- not well known, but in terms of impossibleness it leaves other games in the dust)
the first Ninja Gaiden- just the last level alone
Gitaroo Man- master mode, my friend devoted an hour every day to beating level 3 and it took him two months to get passed it. After giving the same treatment to level 7 for three months with no results, he's called it quits.
Honorable mentions:
Final Fantasy X- For making you think you completed too many mini-games and levelled up too much after breezing through the late game bosses only to run into the final boss who's 20 times more difficult than the previous two. The first FF game where getting the ultimate weapons was practically mandatory for beating the game (at least Yuna's for unlimited double-cast Ultima).
Devil May Cry- Dante Must Die mode
There was more than one Battle Toads?? Hmm. Well, regarding NES games, I seem to recall Master Blaster being a big fucking bitch, mostly because of some of the insane moves you had to master. At least, they seemed insane at the time -- that vehicle super jump thing seemed like the hardest move ever created at the time. I'm sure it was actually really easy for all the incipient hardcore gamers, but I think I gave up after realizing that was just the first level, so I returned it.
That's Blaster Master. I beat that one - I remember it well, because I had REM "Green" playing on an infinite loop as I went through in a week (borrowed the game from a friend.) Gay ending, of course.
Master Blaster was the dude from Mad Max beyond Thunderdome that was a midget riding a retard.
The main thing I remember MB being difficult (aside from the fact that it was a LONG ass game that you had to beat in a single sitting due to no save/password feature. Picture an old super mario game with no warping or continuing) for was the parts where you had to use your vehicles fly/hover ability. You'd need to experiment and make multiple tries to successfully get to where you wanted to go, but you only had about 10(?) seconds of hover, after which you use up it's back to 15 more minutes of killing random enemies hoping they'll drop a hover refill. I wouldn't list it as one of the most frustrating games ever though because I actually managed to beat it without cheats. Well, would finishing off the last boss with my NES advantage's slow motion function be considered cheating? (honestly, I was down to my last life and almost dead, I was NOT going to start over from the beginning again).
Also the wall climbing thing seemed to randomly determine if you'd stick to the wall or not, imagine playing as the Alien in AvP and having a 10% chance every second of just letting go while you're on the ceiling. |
