The 10 Most Irritatingly Impossible Old-School Video Games

From that list, I can recall playing six of them:

Contra
TMNT
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
Friday The 13th
Ninja Gaiden
Mega Man

Of those six I remember finishing only Contra and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. Mike Tyson was particularly frustrating and satisfying when finally finished. And I don't I would've passed Contra without the cheat code. As for the other games, I remember spending a lot of time with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on The Dam level. Such fond memories.

Outside of those games mentioned I didn't really come across any other frustratingly impossible games. It was perhaps because Darryll and I stuck mostly to sports games which weren't frustratingly difficult to beat. Unless it was me trying to beat Darryll in a basketball game that is.

A notable exception would be Smash TV and its neverending waves of swarming enemies, which Mehran has far fonder memories of than I do.

This Just In

Roland got himself a 2005 Denali the other day with navigation, 6 screens (one in the passenger side visor), satellite radio, and a Vortec engine.

Yes Roll, it's "gangsta" and yes Roll, you're like Turtle.

This Just In

Darryll got himself a Xbox 360 yesterday. The only game he currently has is NCAA Football 2008 and has yet to sign up for Xbox Live. What other games MUST he own?

For those keeping score that's 3 Xbox 360s, 3 Wiis, and 0 PS3s in our little family circle.

And He Sucks At Table Tennis Too

For those of you who don't have an Xbox360 - I can't believe there's only two in the family who have one - and because I'm tired of chainsawing Austin, the 360 is having a price drop starting tomorrow. Need more reasons to get a 360? Well here you go.
