And one of my favorite games Gun Smoke is also very hard, I always get tired by all the button clicking and then I miss... I think I have come to that Ninja without using continue..

Arcanoid is also very hard but this is probably due to, I never had the spinner...
The incorrect joystick. spinner, trackball and so on is often the reason why it's unplayable.

And Space Shuttle on Atari 2600...

Meh. Rolling Thunder. I've spent a bit of time on it..... :blah:

My nemesis? Believe it or not, Pac-Man. I've been tainted by the Ms Pac w/ speed up hack. When I play on regular speed now it's like I'm stuck on stupid or something.

My vote goes to Act-Fancer Cybernetick Hyper Weapon.  I stumbled across it while looking for Data East platform games.  When you kill an enemy, a powerup is released but it flies into the air and you have to jump to get it.  Get hit, and you lose powerups.  Over time, you lose powerups.  Get to the first boss a few screens in without powerups and you're toast.  Get killed, go back to the start.  It's insane.  Try it now, go on.  I can wait 30 seconds.

I also agree with Double Dragon III.  You can pump credits in and have multiple players, so you can make progress (so not really unplayable I suppose), but by the end your teammates are nothing more than bait.  Add to that powerups that can only be acquired by adding more credits, and it's a money eating machine that rivals Gauntlet.

Rolling Thunder is one game I don't find too hard.  Can't quite finish it on 1 credit, but I'm decent at it.

By default it's set to Very Hard. This game is the reason why someone would want to put F2 on their admin panel.

Even on Very Easy, I can't get past the 3rd level.

Those who tell you the game is easy are lying.

Those who aren't lying are actually remembering Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting incorrectly, which is 10x easier.

In comparison Street Fighter II: The World Warrior is 100x easier and the entiretly of the Street Fighter Alpha series is 1000x easier.

When I set it up on my MAME cabinet, I have it configured so that the coin mech GIVES YOU money for playing it in compensation.

Although I haven't played a ton of games in mame, I did play this one and I have to agree!! It's freaken hard and made me want to smash my cab:o

I say this as someone who is decent at street fighter and I consider myself a street fighter junkie.

Clones:

Pong man, that up and down motion gets me everytime.


I was playing mame arkanoid on an older computer and it was kicking ---my bottom---, was not real smooth.  Moved to a newer cpu and the game play is smoother and am playing a little better.  Rolling thunder continues to kick my electronic ass.
