Games you're yet to beat - Page 2

We all have games that have given us trouble after trouble. Especially older games from the NES era which can be frustratingly difficult. Naturally, I'm only talking about games where you've invested a big amount of time and effort in beating. I played some CastleVania 1 and Ninja Gaiden 1 before and am yet to beat them, but I don't think I have even sunk 10 hours in both combined.

The first one that comes to my mind is the original TMNT NES game. Boy this game sure has traumatised a lot of childhoods, hasn't it? Could never beat the damn dam level as a kid and was only able to beat it as an adult some years ago. Yet to go any further than the airport level. And trust me, every Summer or so I try to beat the game and end up failing.

Then there's Super Mario Bros. NES games. As odd as it sounds, I've never beaten them despite playing them on a daily basis when I was a kid. Only gotten midway through worlds 8 in SMB 1 and 3. As for 2, dunno.

Finally, there's Donkey Kong 64. Could never beat that damn factory boss. Can't recall why. But haven't touched that game in like 12-13 years, so it doesn't really bother me much.

And for the record, by "beating" I don't mean "completing".

Your turn.
