The Adventures of Batman and Robin was stupidly tough. A situation made infinitely worse by the boring, severely overlong, top down shooter sections.

I loved Super Ghouls'N'Ghosts but it drove me nuts. It is one game I wish was just a bit easier.
I second the notion that The Adventures of Batman and Robin is extremely tough. The enemies are always on you like white on rice. The health power-ups only restore a sliver of heath per item. Without full charge on your weapon, the enemies take several hits to take down with a half a dozen on-screen at any given time. With max continues I'm only able to get to the first boss so far before I'm wiped out. Another one I find to be pretty tough is Contra Hard Corps with it's one hit you're dead with bullets flying everywhere gameplay. I'll have to get the Japanese version with it's health bar. I still love both games btw but their difficulty had to be mentioned. :)
Maybe it's just because it sucked, but I found Blaster Master 2 to be extremely difficult.
No mention of the horrendous Shaq-Fu?
When I was younger, I found Tailspin for Genesis literally impossible. I don't think I ever made it past the first stage.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo US arcade version.
Holy fuckballs is the only way to describe it.
Action 52.
Actually I beat Fantasia about two weeks ago. The last level really sucks -- very difficult with a lot of stupid enemies. It's the worst level of the game. And it's real ugly.Quote:

I have enjoyed the game, but it requires accepting the horrible controls, cheap hits, and frequent deaths... Any "enjoyment" is bittersweet at best!
Lol, I think you're right -- Blaster Master 2 is difficult because it is so awful to play.Quote:

Not sure what they were thinking with that one, damn cheating AI.Quote:

That Batman and Robin game though, that still gives me some difficulty :(
I think I'm really going to have to check out Blaster Master 2 properly soon, I always heard it was bad but after getting hold of a bunch of old magazines I've found it seemed to get pretty good reviews, nothing amazing but around 80%, the other game with a similar problem is Sword of Vermilion, which many mags actually really like.Quote:

BM2 might seem less awful to some one who is unfamiliar with the epic original game.
EDIT
...oops only Sega material :D...I wrote Silver Surfer...but that's OT
I think that even if you completely ignore the original game, BM2 is still pretty terrible. The controls suck ass, the level design is boring, and the overhead sections are particularly shitty.Quote:
