So hard it's unplayable...

Hey..  I'm asking folks to name games (in MAME of course) that are so difficult that they are mostly unplayable.

This would be true for the "real" cabinets as well, not just MAME.

The reasoning behind this is that my friend and I played a game some time ago, that was so impossible to play it just killed us.  We were laughing so hard it hurt.

But I can't remember what game it was.

It wasn't a fighter (Street Fighter) nor do I believe it was a vertical/horizontal shooter (shmups) . (only 90%) on this one though.

some people (myself included) struggle with Crazy Climber. Zwackery is near impossible without the right controls.

TOK:

Defender and Stargate often get tagged with this. The first time you play Defender, you're lucky to get a 30 second game and 300 points.

One game that I found very difficult was Ajax. Its a cool game that has different perspectives (either top down or behind the player), but its punishing to play. One of those games that makes you start over when you screw up.

Another game that is tough because it fills the screen with bullets and enemies is called Mars Matrix:Hyper Solid Shooting. It's actually very fun even though its crazy.

I find most old games (pre '84/85 ish) are generally pretty hard, and require a lot of patience.

I wouldn't know where to start in naming specific games though!
