Name the Most #%$%# Frustrating Arcade Game Ever

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

Thta's right, what game out there hears the most bad words shouted at the screen on average? Inquiring minds want to know.

My vote goes to Venture...

Without doubt i say Pengo!

Pengo made me smash (made me?? lol) two panes(the window glass on the gamescreen i don4t know what it4s called in English) back in 1984..

And here on MAME i did break my keyboard in frustration for that game..

But still I love the game haha

hmmm maybe Rallyx with TG settings comes close to be frustrating also!!

Lol QRS, I did the same to a Flicky machine, I slammed my fist through the 'protective' glass panel, the arcade manager was none too pleased.

Hmmmm.........most frustrating games.........

Arcade: House of the Dead 2 (don't know why, I just don't like it)

MAME: Arkanoid (1 or 2, and any of the clones) with the keyboard. Can I get an Amen, brothers and sisters?

Insector X. I now think it's a piece of cake, but in the early '90s i found it so frustrating I even spitted on the screen when the giant mantis killed me for the 50th time :)

Ms. Pac-Man with a keyboard. You could hit up, and it'll move you left! Terrible, terrible. I swear, I haven't gotten past the 4th set of screens with a keyboard. But with a joystick, I can go MUCH farther (to the point where I get sick of counting screen switches). I need a new joystick. My old one broke.
