What game levels do you fear?

[esteban]

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?

Oh, snap.

You had me at "isometric".

I'm a sucker for that perspective, especially if this is like Solstice but more action-oriented.

DAMN.

basically your a snake that eats these little dots to grow longer. you not only need to eat so many dots to complete a stage, you also have to dodge many obstacles. some dots move faster than others making it more challenging, but you can get power ups to make your snake stronger. The game was programmed by rare and really is pretty amazing for its time.

I remember that game, wasn't bad as long as you have another person play along with you (it is a 2 player simultaneous game). About the only thing I remember is me and my brother fighting over the little pellets to get your snake to grow longer.

exactly, two players makes it much more manageable

Well, hot damn. I'm a sucker for any snake-getting-larger game, too (Gomola Speed, anyone?).

snake larger eh?  are we compensating for something

Yes.

Speaking of 3d isometric and fearing game levels, I hate the one forest level that's pretty much a maze in Landstalker.  I like landstalker, but the isometric view doesn't make the game play all that well when jumps are required.  That maze/forest level is a bitch to get through and remember.  I will always hate it.  It's one reason I will probably only ever play through that game once and only once.

Xiga at the end of Radian Silvergun.  When it turns into the shit-hawk and rains death diamonds on you.
It makes my neck vein throb, my eyes bulge and helps my kids learn new words not acceptable at elementary school.

[HercTNT]

well i certianly learned a new term. I'm not aware of the phrase "shit-hawk" being penned anywhere

The level in Kid Chameleon where the wall is closing in on you.

When I was 7 years old playing SMB3 at a friends house, we somehow came to believe that those flame-tailed flying bombs in world 6 would not only kill you if you let them go off, but they would also disable the NES for 3 whole days. Needless to say, whenever he came on the screen, we went apeshit. His 5 year old brother often started crying.

To this day, I still freak out a little when I see that guy.
