What game levels do you fear?

[Nando]

Tatsujin, THE WHOLE f*ckING GAME!

on the PCE, HELL YEAS!!

But of course; oh and this freaking dude at the arcade "BITD" (Back In The Day)

I used to fear the Turbob Tunnel in Battletoads.

but then I memorized that shit and now I giggle at it like a fag.

Terra Tubes is the worst level my opinion. Especially the swimming parts. Right behind it would be the Snake pit levels 3 and 4 (if you don't warp, which you should).

I also really fear most of the levels of Snake Rattle n Roll on NES.


That game was brilliant, but f*ck, it was hard after about level 4.

snake rattle and roll kicks my ass on level 10. I eventually got to the point were i could damn near blow through the levels without dying. then level 10 would destroy me every time. till this day i can't get by it.

Verytex is a fairly easy vert shooter on the MD.  Only till you get to the last boss.  Then it's "please just put down the controller cause you'll more than likely just eat shit and die"  I only have beaten the game once.

Verytex, huh? I have never played it. I must add this to my "want" list.

You will not regret it esteban.  Very awesome shootie on the MD.  It's by Asmik and the music is by a couple very awesome and well known composers. Hitoshi Sakimoto, Masaharu Iwata, JKL Furukawa

Again the game is very easy, but man that last level boss will make you want to kick in your TV like a rock star.

level 3? in Ninja Warriors.
you get to the boss area and suddenly - BAM! chainsaw wielding samurai butcher robot.
still catches me off guard when i'm playing, but when i'm just thinking about it, i'm like "damn, that's awesome."

The Great Palace in Zelda II. Just getting there is a pain (die and do it all over), and actually making it to Thunderbird and beating him is a feat in my gaming years that I have only done twice.

Tourian in Metroid.

I completed the game ONE time.

ONE. SINGLE. TIME.


I was 11, and it took an entire weekend of flailing/leaving the game paused/screaming at the TV. 

I tried doing it again multiple times and still get butt f*cked.

I hate when sometimes you're just plowing through the game and you f*ck up just a little and then you are HOSED.

but man, I love that game so much.   The music is one of the best parts.

It's like, f*cked up honky tonk nonsense.

Ha! I am intrigued by the EASY --> IMPOSSIBLE  transition.

Of course, I'm also a sucker for any halfway decent soundtrack .

How about Wizards and Warriors 2: Iron Sword and all of it is pretty freaking hard. Its especially funny how easily birds kick your ass considering Fabio (the guy on the front cover) go smashed by a goose while riding a roller coaster. I did manage to finish it though..

The jumping in that game was so dumbf*cked.

I dunno how the first one was so good and that one was so jacked.


Fabio's a tool.

I had the exact same problem with valis 3 and gates of thunder. I think it was level 7 in valis 3 i could not get by no matter how hard i tried, then one day i just tweaked and shot through the whole game without dying once. I know it sounds absurd, but its the only time i have pulled that off. Gates of thunder was similar, died, died, died, tweaked and blew threw it on three men.

[Arkhan]

Yep.  I've experienced similar things with a few other games.  It's fun when it happens.

I should go fire up SRnR again.   They really did an excellent job with that game.

[esteban]

I have never heard of, let alone played, anything with the preposterous title of Snake, Rattle and Roll.

I choose to remain ignorant on the matter, as well.

[HercTNT]

Shame as its very colorful, with great sound and animation for the nes. Its caveat is the controls. the game is 3d isometric which does not work well for some of the insane jumps required to complete the levels. Oh did i mention you also have to do it before time runs out?
