My two:

Very cliché, I played Ocarina of Time a ton as a child, have memories of playing it both on N64 as a wee child and on game cube as a less small child. Never got past water temple even with the game guide.

Yu-Gi-Oh forbidden memories. Played the crap out of that game on play station, constantly playing on free play praying for the cards I would need to get further. I was never able to beat more than 1-2 of the high mages. Watching speed runs on the game it turns out I was never ever going to beat that game as a kid. The final 6 are just disgustingly brutal.

      The most frustrating thing is that you technically don’t need to ever leave the original island to beat the game.

        Ha! I didn’t even know that. Thanks to your comment and this thread, I’m gonna go and try to figure Myst out. Strategy is to think like a Vulcan. That should work, right? Lol
