Super mario world 99* save game completion, took me about 3 months.
Fallout 2, just fall out fucking 2, second hand copy no manual, nothing and invisible god damn pick pocketing kids.
Homeworld was pretty damn hard.

However X-com 1 and Terror from the deep were just prolonged campaigns of being fucked in the ass by the computer in my pre-internet days. In xcom 1 it was because I didnt know that ufo ship leaders were not flagged as 'leaders' the same way base leaders were and thus you cant get to mars without them. Terror from the deep was just.....terror from the deep man, if you havent played it...you dont understand....you *cant* understand.
Also Chrysallids*....fuck you I was 13 years old and I didnt deserve that man, what do you mean it just eats my power armored god soldier? what do you mean it turned him into a zombie?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I KILLED THE ZOMBIE AND IT BECAME ANOTHER CHRYSALLID???
WHY ARE THEY BOTHERING WITH ANY OTHER WEAPONS JUST SEND 3 CHRYSALLIDS IN A SCOUT SHIP AND AS SOON AS THEY HIT A POPULATION CENTRE THEY WIN!?!?!
just because I like hurting myself and people question why i need so many plasters I bought Xcom off of steam the other day.....
*seriously I've seen rockets bounce of these guys, lasers, anti-tank rounds, incendiary rounds, stun bombs they are like Jason Vorhees infected with the rage virus sent back in time by sky net to fuck your arse until it resembles an open cast mine. whats really fun is when you run into them and you're still packing standard issue ballistic weapons, they are godzilla, you are the JDF.
