seriously, WTF? it controls like dick, and random objects just jump out at you at any given time with no rhyme or reason.

i downloaded it to my xbox360 and i can't get past day # 3 on the easiest level.

i used to have paperboy for gameboy back in the day, and playing it last night just reminded me how f'ing frustrating this game is.

    The game that was the hardest was Gauntlet .... the four player game which allowed you to pump in more quartrs to continue .... OF COURSE they made it impossible so you'd keep putting money in the damn machine ...

    Warrior needs food .... badly.

    Wizzard is about to die ...

    That one was rough indeed.

    Also another doozy:

    This one was also ridiculously hard because it seemingly had no end.

    Dang! That is a little tougher than I remember it. Of course, my reflexes used to be a little quicker back in the '80s...

    Ghost n Goblins for the NES! I hated that game. It was impossible to get past the 3rd stage, nevermind beating the damn thing.

    Paperboy was a bitch too.

    Metroid was a perfect game because it was very challenging, but not impossible, and not too frustrating, except when you had to rebuild your strength by fighting small things to get those red dots. The music was beautifully creepy too. GnG had good music, but that was about the only thing going for it! There is a band called The Minibosses that play some of that old NES music, incl from Metroid and GnG, with real instruments - they sound fucking amazing!

    I haven't bought any games system since SNES. Nothing released since then just matches with the romance of those systems I played as a kid.

    I'm seconding this. Yet, I kept trying...even when they released the sequel Ghouls and Ghosts....still impossible

    One I could never finish was Bart Simpsons Nightmare, or whatever it was called. The most papers I could get were 5. I never got past the Maggie part or the second Itchy & Scratchy part.
