a game so simple its hard

[Metalchair]

ok so this thought just came to me. i was playing super mario on my friend's NES and it was such a simple game that it was hard. along with Super Mario Bros 3 and ice hockey, they're such simple games that they're difficult for me to play. and i've found games like that nowadays, there's not much but the Lego Games. they r so simple that they r hard to figure out sometime.

Can you think of any games that are like this?

The Lara Croft games???

I struggled with them so much!!

Bubble Bobble, is a little 7 year old, my 4 year old brother and I could get to the last level. Now it just seems impossible.

geometry wars 2.

shoot them, dont tough them. the end.

 

[Joshimodo]

N+. Geometry Wars (not Geometry Wars 2). Anything like that, really.

The simpler the problem the harder I find it is to figure out. I keep forgetting that the simple answer is usually the right one.

Sometimes Katamari can be tough if you try to pick up objects that are slightly larger than you can actually pick up, that wastes the time limit away really fast.

You have to Burn the Rope [http://www.kongregate.com/games/Mazapan/you-have-to-burn-the-rope]. Oh, the many hours I have spent trying to figure out how to win that game!

Two words... Guitar Hero (or Rock Band - same thing really)

Such a simple premise - press the right button when it tells you to, but has anyone here completed 'Through the Fire and Flames' on Guitar hero 3 on anything above medium?

I agree with N+. It's a total ***** to play.

OT: Pro Evo Soccer. Try to put ball in net...while trying to not let the AI get the ball as you will never get it back.

I've never even TRIED it on anything above medium and I've only completed it once on meduim out of 12 attempts. Good song, though.

Don't even joke about that. It took my friend's girlfriend almost 15 minutes to figure out how to beat it.

It has to be..... right?

My choice would have to be the original Donkey Kong, all you do is walk and occasionally jump, but damn if it isn't hard.

I think the game is meant to be taken as bit of a joke.
Im guessing he was being sarcastic.

 

[Christemo]

Run. try it on fast mode.
Killing Floor. its actually pretty hard.


oh, and Tomb Raider: Anniversary. if there was an achievement for not dying (including the cutscene quick time events), i dont believe anyone would be able to get it. ever.

It's your standard 8-bit platformer with a gun and a double jump. It almost couldn't be simpler. It's just hell.
