Just making this thread is cooling off.

What were some parts of TG/PCE games that really made you mad and throw the controller at times or curse up a storm?

Me? Well just now the final boss of Bloody Wolf pissed me off beyond my imagination.
>His beam will kill you in one hit. That's enough to put you on the edge. The real problem: You don't know which direction he'll fire that thing!

>His boomerangs seem to follow you everywhere you go

>That measly little standard gun is no match for that beefcake. it's a matter of time before you knock down one block of energy.

>Phase 2 is where the fun begins. He got his legion of illusions throwing me off and the real one may be out and gets a freebie on that one hit kill beam and you're gone before you know it.

This mothaf*cka is just.......cheap & unpredictable!

Well, I can't really recall any "rage" moments when playing PCE...

But...

Neutopia really annoys me. That third area (water-ish) is terrible! I just can't get past it! I have no idea how I did it when I played it back in the days.. Damn game.

Oh and when my Duo's SRAM got formatted three times in one month. That was annoying too. Really annoying.

Lots of games like ninja spirit's last level can be done if you can perservere.. XD (hmmm actually yea I think I did get mad doing this level) ^__^

The only ones that I can think of that were ridiculously hard ... and I wasted no time in trading it for another game were Ninja Gaiden and Darius Plus (takes ages to level up)...

Salamader really does make my blood boil.. but I just can't help resist that awesome music from the PCE sound chip. I've been holding off from buying this because of its difficulty but I think this is one of those love/hate games.. so after playing this on emulation for a while I've decided to track a hard copy down later this year.

Hey Ninja, that boss in Bloody Wolf is awesome, no? You'll get him, don't worry.

Space Harrier -- everything is going fine for the first dozen stages and then bam! and then bam! and then bam! Stupid little f***-ups prevent me from 1CC'ing the game. It took me ages to get decent at Space Harrier (I don't use continues).

JJ & Jeff -- holy crap this game gets tough in the last level or two! I only beat this game a few times (2-3) and I had to use a LOT of continues (normally I don't like to resort to this). Adventure Island (NES) is just as challenging as this game, IMO. Both great games, though.

Sinistron -- I suck at stage 3, the asteroid field and stage 4, the maze. I can't consistently pass either stage. Sometimes I sail right through them, otherwise my game ends. What's funny is that I can play the final stage ,with a pea-shooter, better than I can play 3 or 4 (I'm not kidding, and the last stage is much tougher). I think I have a mental hang-up about asteroids and mazes. Seriously.

YEah I remember when I was 10 trying to beat the final guy in bloody wolf- I was crying, I stomping my feet on the floor... my dad was PISSED. haha. But now I'm older and yeah he's still kinda hard, but he's no match for me.

Darm in Ys is usually pretty tough... The first time I ever played Ys, I finally beat him with 3 HP left.

Still to this day, I cannot beat the final guy in bomberman. He's so hard! Well it's hard to hit him, but the thing that kills me is when I run out of time and all those things attack me.

The ice stage in Keith Courage was pretty hard. I remember as a kid I loathed that level.

And of course the falling level in Ninja Spirit, that took a while to get through---all luck.

and don't get me started on Bonk's adventure

Any game I get pretty far in and then have to start over. Turrican was not designed for human players. I'd like to see the developers try and finish it. But I'm not good at games in general, I only finished Zonk CD for the first time a few weeks ago.

I remember cursing up a storm on the last boss in Bloody Wolf as well. There was another boss in Bloody Wolf that was Bloody Annoying as well, I think it was the third or fourth level boss where you can only stab the guy - that boss took me awhile to beat!

R-Type can get pretty frustrating too because you'll make it so far and have the most badass weapon built up and then BAM, you die, loose your weapon, and start from the beginning of the level.

J.J. and Jeff definitely has it's moments too, but it's just so much fun to play anyways

Ninja Spirit · « **Reply #8 on:** April 08, 2006, 06:14:15 PM »

Yeah that's R-Type for ya. Once you die and lose your power ups in later stages, you're pretty much f*cked for good.

Bomber Man 93 final boss can drive you up the wall sometimes.

I breezed through it...

The one game that had me so pissed that I actually tossed the disc at the wall was Strider. Seems to be some sort of platforming problem in the last level that makes it almost impossible to complete (during the reverse gravity area). I think I tossed a copy of China Warrior as well.

Bake: to beat the final boss in Bomberman, you pretty much have to wait for the crazy things to attack you when the time runs out. In order to beat them, what you have to do is sit on a bomb for a second or two...when they approach you, they cannot go through your bomb, so they'll go in the opposite direction. Then walk off to a safe area and boom, annoying critter gone. Repeat this for each of them and when they're all gone, you can take on the annoying-ass final turd yourself with no time limit.

Seldane: if you need help completing Neutopia, lemme know.

What? I'm with motdelbuort on this one, Turrican kicks my ass. I actually haven't spent much time with it, but it struck me as a very tough game. I never beat the first stage. I probably should read the instruction manual

. I remember losing a lot of life in some areas... it was if I was on a suicide run...

not really TG...but PCE

Tatsujin makes me scream out loud repeatedly

RayXanber II.

After the first stage, which isn't that bad, the game just becomes impossible. I think furthest I got was stage 3 or 4.
