Old school games we never finished

the truth... Can't even. Never finished any of those games. Some were just too hard and others I lost interest.
 
I played through Prince of Persia so many times, I could probably still speedrun it today.

Also didn't finish Arkanoid, Mega Man, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Though I'm told it was actually impossible to finish TMNT anyway.

I played medievil at a friends, arkanoid played plenty of that. Never played any of the others
 
only one on that list that i played was prince of persia and i did not finish it. I think i finished first few levels.
 
I played a couple in the list but the only one I was able to finish was Silent Hill. I used a walkthrough for certain parts back in the day though.
 
Think I only played two of those titles.

Prince of Persia I finished, of course!
Arkanoid, I never thought of completing it.

Let's not forget Riven, one game I couldn't finish, even with a walkthrough.

my point exactly
 
I managed to finish Crash Bandicoot and Silent Hill back in the day. I personally thought that G-Police and Skullmonkeys on the PS1 were both way more challenging to finish off.
Also as a kid I remember trying for hours to get my way through Contra on the NES.

I'll be honest, coz I was rather little for PoP, my brother had the cheats on, so you press + (or spacebar or something) to increase the time. that way i could slowly make my way through the levels. I always wanted to know, but I never found out what happens if
Spoiler: show
the timer runs out right AFTER you kill the main sultan bad guy
. Does game end? is time no longer an issue?

Honorary mention to loom. that game was tricky to complete, you def needed pen and paper (at my age anyway, who can memorize patterns :p)

Otherwise we didn't have any consoles so only the PC titles i recognize. CALGAMES!

And to enable cheats you started it with "prince megahit", iirc.
I think my best time on PoP was ~45min. Some of my friends claimed sub 40 minute times but I think they lied.

Another PC game I played liked crazy but could never finish was "Impossible Mission 2".

Looked like this:

There was a timer, puzzles and audio cassettes you had to find and use to open the final tower. Never even got that far.

Riven was the mosr beautiful thing i had ever seen when it came out... But DAMN that came was INSANELY complicated :wtf: I downloaded and printed what I would consider a bloody book more than a walkthrough, and I still couldn't do it...

Certain games almost always ended with a rage quit...

Battletoads was one of them
