Games that have defeated YOU!

[Master of 7s]

To this day I STILL can't beat MDK2 on DC with Max. I hate Zizzy Balooba!!

Gunbird2 still owns my ass. Is it even possible to beat that game on single player?

I beat Halo on Lengendary once....I've never tried again.

I haven't beaten Survival Mode (to get all the hidden colors for each character) in under 10 minutes yet for Guilty Gear X. It just takes to long and is too repetetive to keep trying : (

Soukyugurentai beat me down pretty hard, but I'll give it another try someday. Stupid god-damn ranking system.

Try as I might, I will never get a 100% in "Poochie ain't Stupid" stage in Yoshi's Island.

Bwaha -- such an appropriately named level. Actually, they probably should have named it "Poochie ain't a Complete Fucking Whore" to be closer to what I was calling him by the time I finally mustered a 100%

And the loop in Gunbird 2 eats me alive.

My man! You have to master the rest of the game leading up to him. Then, get the boomerang and the triple shot and don't loose it. Then you can whip his ass with ease.

As for games that own me, I have to give that to Battletoads on the NES. I think I would have to see someone do it with my own eyes to belive it. That fucking game was hard to beat with the game genie and unlimited guys. I'm also not sure I ever beat Ghosts and Goblins the arcade version. I remember that being very hard. I will have to dig out Collections on the Saturn and whip that games ass.

I swear it is some kind of bug.... utterly impossible, I think.


And of course, Gunbird 2 dominates me every time I pick it up. Can't get a decent score for shit.

Games that have beaten me:
ANY shooter not called Cannon Spike.
Also, I can never seem to get the "Nozomi's Confession" cutscene after over a dozen playthroughs of Shenmue.

Ghosts 'N' Goblins - NES. The only version I own, and level 3 makes me cry like a little girl.

Battletoads - NES. This might be possible if you only lose ONE block of your life meter when you get hit.

All the shmups released in the US for Dreamcast. "Normal" difficulty for who, Superman?

Armed Formation F (arcade/PCE). I made it to the second level... once.

Super Mario Bros. 2 (JPN) - a.k.a. "The Lost Levels". I know it takes practice... but at the rate I play it, 'twould take me years to beat on one credit (without using the infinite lives cheat).

Agreed.

The same goes for Contra: HC, both games are beatable on 1 player mode. It's all about practice and memorization.

I've beaten C:HC without continuing before, only loosing a life to the last boss.

You're not suppossed to use the switch at the top of the rocket. Instead you're supposed to take a leap of faith of the left side of the switch, and a floating enemy will appear, which allow you to combo your way up to another level of the rocket.

I think I'll add another Gunbird 2. The only shooter in my collection that I have 0 hope of ever finishing. I think the wonky control is partly to blame. It isn't nearly as fast as I'd like it, but maybe that's just me.

Sonic Adventure's speed emblems kick my ass. I couldn't even get Emerald Coast's.

Spyro the Dragon had a few brutal sections like Icy Flight and the insane super jump stage. Try as I might, I could never do it.

[Mode7]

What wonky control? Tavia, Morrigan and Aine all move at a fairly brisk pace.
