Brilliant! I destroyed my amiga keyboard with my snes cartridge of street fighter. That did not make me feel better....King of the Sandbox said:
I think my first was marioland on the GB. It had no restart (saves, password etc) and had a life cap (9 i think, cant remember havent re-visted since the fateful day) i could get to the very end of the game with full lives but couldnt beat the end boss frickin 1-up cap rubbish i collect about 40 lives through the rest of the game but that didnt matter. Anyways with one hit left to beat him either the pattern changes or i miss time the jump but my 14hrs (poss more) of solid gaming is finished in an instant....
I destroyed a dry wall in my parents house...
this co-incidentally lead to my first DIY experience as I emergency repaired it and slopped filler everywhere. I didn't have time to wait for it to dry so stuck a giant poster over the repair and thought "I'll finish that when its dried next time the olds are out"
that never happened. lol
Most recently, this weekend in fact, was dark souls, where I had to, for the second @#%%^# time start the game over after 12+ hours of gameplay because of a stupid bloody mistake... the worst part was, that after having flung and utterly destroyed my controller against the wall, I picked up my other controller, and started playing again... and then after 3 hours, accidentally used up all my humanities which I lost by dying at the Capra Demon.
Spyro The Dragon.
99% completion (and I was about 7), and I couldn't kill one thief. Even after trying for months.

This isn't due to difficulty but I quite litteraly said "F*ck this" when playing pokemon platina.
You first need to know I've been rolling my eyes at pokemon after the first generation due to the rather silly pokemons and names they've been comming up with.
I was trying to get back into pokemon with platina and was kindoff enjoying it, right up untill I saw Lickylicky...
I wasn't angry mind you but I slammed my DS shut turned it off without saving and haven't looked at it since.

I had two games where I just threw up my hands and had to stop.
The first was Far Cry 2 *SPOILER ALERT*
when you have to kill all your merc buddies for no reason. Somehow after having screwed you over twice the Jackel magically becomes your BFF and gets to order you around. Maybe I don't wanna kill my merc buddies for their diamonds? Maybe I've got enough leftover from my previosu work to bribe the guards myself. Maybe I wanna shoot you in the head and get paid for it instead of mindlessly following your orders. I loved the rest of FC2, but the ending was 100% crap and I felt cheated.
The second was Super Meat Boy's first boss level. I've never been good at platformers, but steam had a sale and I had heard good things about SMB, despite warnings about its difficulty. I played for like an hour trying to get past it and I just could not do it.

Ooh, One Man And His Droid on the c64.
A great little puzzle game about herding robots with a simplistic movement scheme towards a goal in the correct order. Rather pointlessly, tho, each level started with a large cave filled with robots who formed an ever changing maze which you'd have to navigate through. They'd all move left and right in rows and you'd work your way through them, and then regular as clockwork they'd lock into a solid formation and push you *all the way back to the start of the level*!! Level 1 wasn't so bad, but as the population of robots grew denser on each successive level it became a nightmare. By about level 17 I swear it was impossible. **** that.

Ragequit hard just attempting to play the original Monster Hunter on the Playstation 2.
For the unaware: That game franchise met balance and adoration when it made it's way to the Playstation Portable. The original PS2 game however is so badly stacked against the player it's impossible to make progress without being a wonder from the East the second you start the game.

The Witcher at the first town.
I literally could not be bothered to leave town after I arrived, so I tried to sleep with the waitress, got rejected, exited the game and the disc was NEVER SEEN AGAIN!

The original Legend of Zelda. My copy was used, didn't come with the manual, and I was like nine years old. No GameFAQs, no internet, and I'm supposed to know to use the candle to burn the fourth tree from the--oh, F- This!tkioz said:
(I later purchased a hint guide and beat it, and fell in love with all things Zelda.)
I still don't remember what it was called, but it was this little 3D space shooter I used to play as a kid. This was back in 94 or so, and I was 3 or 4 at the time (I started early, lol) but I remember my brother and I used to get to the end and the dudes in the space ships would think the mission was over, but then the real final boss would pop out. He would then proceed to fire this completely unavoidable beam across the entire screen and would destroy us every time. After about 5 plays we gave up.
That damn sniper mission, kill the sniper. I literally shot him 17 times before he said fuck it an one shotted me when my AI partner pushed me out of coverC2Ultima said:
Ebonstar
I was young and I hadn't a clue what was going on, so I gave up. I returned to it recently, and realised there were controls to fire, as well as move (prior I thought all you could do was turn 360° on an axis). That explains everything! It's still hard as fuck, though.
seriously, fuck this game
Horror Zombies From the Crypt
...because I got stuck, and had no idea how to progress from the early part of the game, so my friend and I just gave up. Never played it again.
Was later informed that my friend figured it out, and found the rest of the game rather enjoyable
Psycho
Had no idea what was going on. Entered the mansion, ghost shows up. What next? This is crap! Gave up, never played again.
Although if someone knows what to do next, I'd be eternally grateful
Dr. Franken
I got stuck, and lost in the mansion, looking for a body part. I think I was 37% of the way through (that number has stuck in my mind). Annoyingly, every room respawned enemies, which was a pain in the neckbolts when you had to traverse from one end to the other, looking for the elusive piece of leg you were missing. Gave up, and like the tantrum-bucket I was, threw my Game Boy at the wall. Like all Nintendo hardware, it survived.
Looking for pieces of your lost love. You were made for each other!
The first Ratchet and Clank. PS2. About seven years old (give or take). I spent FOREVER on that game- just about every one of the later levels. The nighttime city one where you have to use the grind rails past the auto-aiming robots and you buy something at the end, the robot factory, the f#cking last level...
Sigh.
Then it was Jak 2. Save points were as screwed up as GTA is- I remember many levels where I couldn't leave to try another mission. Invading the Baron's palace, the island (later missions), the F#£?¥NG LAST LEVEL I HATE THAT IT WAS SO SO SO HARD.....

My first? Playing Age of Empires II multiplayer for the first time, only to get spammed by cars with rapidfire machine guns...
Aside from that... Completing Mass Effect 1, level 54, all assignments except for the mineral collection completed, then opening up Mass Effect 2 to continue the game and discovering that the save game had been corrupted. I couldn't even reopen it in ME1... I had to replay the entire game...but that's besides the point <<;;
