I may get downvoted for this, but I've gotta say it--for me it's the original Super Mario 2. It's slightly more bearable in Lost Levels form (at least then you can save!), but I just feel like it takes everything the Mario series does well and throws it in the garbage. My S.O. and I sank hours into the Lost Levels one and STILL could not beat it.

On the bright side, if you have low blood pressure, I believe doctors have recently started prescribing SMB2.

E.T. on Atari! That was a terrible game.

@heyjoie: Did you know that Super Mario 2 wasn't originally made to be a part of the series? The original characters were changed to Mario characters after the success of the original caught on.

Here's a Wikipedia link

I have to admit though, it's probably not my least favorite, but it definitely ranks in that list.

My absolute least favorite though is the Original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. I think that's because I played it after the other turtles games (the side scroller style was released later and was much better than the original top scroller version). It's nearly impossible to enjoy because it's so frustrating.

I still have all of my original Atari, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, XB games -- About 500 in all. I still buy old games when I can find them. I still play most of them on a regular occassion too, but I don't play the original TMNT -- Ever

I'm sure there will be some downvotes here.

@woothulhu: I could never refuel!! D: So the game was always fun to me for uh, however long you could play before you had to refuel.

Loved the music, though. EPIC.

I have a few, all from the C64. Epyx Summer and Winter Games. Stupid skater always fell. Also text based adventure games like Zork and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you are required to buy a hint book to gett through the games, it's not well designed. Absolutely infuriating.

Does anyone remember a game called Ghoul School on NES? I still vividly remember throwing my controller against the wall and seeing it break.

and that's what we call "instant remorse".

@holymythos: Taking off generally wasn't a problem. Landing totally was. I remember hating the realistic flight simulator games and if I had to pick one I hated the most, it would be Microsoft Flight Simulator.

@travelchic75: Ehem... The hint books weren't actually required. Though they definitely were very popular items. (I was running a mail-order software business and working in a NYC computer store in the early 80's and we couldn't keep the hint books in stock.)
