Games that make you angry

[yaggy]

I seriously wanted to this past Sunday while playing Championship Sprint. Holy cow, there are some megafrustrating elements to that game... Where the chopper keeps dropping you off in the same spot where you're guaranteed to keep dying over and over, trying to turn around, and it won't let you because the car is always moving, and the physics just don't allow it... I want to punch it right now, just thinking about it!

Hahaha! yeah I had one of those and a regular customer, who had a history for being abusive, apparently ripped the wheel off and threw it in the trash can.

It was six months, about, before I let him return.

I'm gonna have to agree about Ghost 'n Goblins.
Great game but wow is it a bitch at times.

Centipede is the only one that really ends up getting a few regular smacks on the control panel.

Although, the little alien ship in Asteroids pisses me off to no end. How that little bastard aims a directly perfect shot at you is beyond me.

And also, I dont look too kindly on Star Trek when the next sector drops me off directly on top of a Klingon. Talk about spawn killing!!!

It you don't have your foot on the gas, you shouldn't be moving... maybe the pedal/pot isn't quite right on yours? On mine if I take my foot of the gas my car comes to a complete stand still.

Oh, and I'm guessing you're talking about the chopper dropping your off right in front of the ramp in the upper right, and then you can't go fast enough to clear it...

Oh yeah? Then the pot must be off. It moves slowly with no pedal pressure whatsoever. Both 1 and 2 player...

And yeah, the jump. I always jump, it's way faster than taking that turn. And the helicopter just keeps. Dropping you. In the same spot!!! Argh. After about 3 or 4 deaths, it finally drops you into the road.

It's a very fun game, but frustrating as hell.

Another vote for Ghosts N' Goblins.God that game is brutally hard...even on the NES.

Defender. I just can't play that game to save my life. I keep trying, but man is it frustratingly hard.

i agree on this one....

ghosts n goblins is a BITCH of a game (on all platforms). love the music, love the gameplay, but damn its hard to progress in that game. ghouls n ghosts has also pissed me off quite a few times!

The end all to this: Ghosts N Goblins.

Thread closed. ;-)

Same here and to avoid smacking the machine I press my middle finger right on the bezel to let him know how I really feel.......

Broken ones.

REALLY end thread.

I know for sure at the start of a race if I don't hit the pedal, I don't go. I'll double check about stopping after blowing up, though. I do know for sure though that I've messed up at that jump and been able to turn out of it when the chopper dropped me off.

Time Soldiers. If you take too long during a boss fight, they send out about 5 or 6 pterodactyl things that fly at you that you have no way of dodging.

Kill stuff faster and you won't run into this issue

Punch-out! But then someone showed me the controls. All was well afterwards.

Defender can be deserving of a punch.

Centipede too.

Cursing at them will make you feel better, but it will convince others around that you are out of control...

I love Centipede, but sometimes the spider really gets under my skin. I'd love to isolate the spider to a single chip, then pull that chip out and hit it with a sledge hammer Office Space style.

+1 It makes even the quietest person scream loud, fist flailing tantrum bursts of obsceneties, especially when you just get a new armor/weapon, and then get cheap-shotted back to pure nakedness with the shit spear.

Hah hah hah!.. you know.. that made me totally think of the 'Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey' sayings if you remember back in the old Saturday Night Live days... you just needed to end with 'that would teach that spider...'
