Starcraft is a bit of a pet hate for me. Those Zerg missions I always found impossible, now they seem much easier...
Don't remind me. I wasted money on that game...Crystal Cuckoo said:Spyro: Season of Ice (GBA)
I had a LOT of trouble getting past the first few levels.
4 years later, I pick up the game again, and finish the whole thing in one day.
Good game, too.
Ayup. But I still liked the old Smurfs and Asterix and Obelix game on PC...goater24 said:
OH NO THE EVIL BLACK SMURF IS ATTACKING ME!!
I don't see how you managed the Omega Pirate, but not the final boss... The Omega Pirate is sooo much harder IMO. I was stuck on it for 2 days...Assassinator said:
As for game I never finised: I got Heart of Darkness (the 1998 game, not the Joseph Conrad book) when I was 9 (I think...) And I never got past this one bit until I tried it when I was 13, and made it through the whole game...
Good question, it either took me ages as well, or my little brother killed it for me. He also killed Flaagra for me, yea I'm still ashamed. But I refused to let him kill Metroid Prime, not that he succeeded in his own save game ;-)Quick Ben said:
I'm only fourteen, so this is kinda odd for me, so I'll take it from when I was seven. (The point when I actually became interested in gaming.) For me, it's Dark Cloud, one section of the story where you have to lure a snake out of a cave became a real ass-biter, I couldn't figure it out until one day I found the solution, since then...so easy.
I would if I had ever gotten 20.Pyronox said:
For me, all of the classic Mario Bros. games. I only beat the ones with Yoshi... he must have been good karma or something. All of the others I got stuck in a random castle or bowser.
When I played Half-life 1 for the first time, I would basically play through one or two rooms, get scared, then quit and look up an online walkthrough so I could know exactly what was coming next. Then I'd start it up again, and repeat.
Also, I remember having a lot of trouble with Spyro 2 for the playstation, but after I beat it the first time I could finish it in a few days.

Ooh, Sigma... To me, he's just as hard as he was when I was 6. You gotta admit, his final form is really tough if you wasted all your energy tanks on his other form.Chimney said:
This happened to me with FFX, although it was only over about a year or so. I kept using Flee because the random encounters annoyed me and I was grossly underlevelled by the time I got to the underwater boss when you're crossing the river. A year later, I came back and thought about what I had done and let out a slow, pained sigh.
Banjo Kazooie - The last few levels whipped my ass as a kid. But I recently found my N64 and played again and just swept through the game 100% as well.
and
Conkers Bad Fur Day - That games difficulty curve spiked at War and a few times I didn't even know where to go or what to do but after a few years I just swept over it.
Don't even get me started on Zelda. The puzzles, I felt like such a dumbass for not getting them.
