What game did you play a ton of in the past, that you were never good enough to beat? (lemmy.world)

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.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Most Sonic games are easy, but Sonic 1 and 2 aren't. Actually, I've beaten it as Knuckles, but never as Sonic (therefore I've never beaten it as it was in it's original release,) I can't get past a specific jump in Wing Fortress Zone.

Minecraft is less that I'm not good enough and more that I get bored around the time I first get to the Nether.

Sega Game Gear Sonic 2. Had a boss that you had to beat with cannon balls that bounced at you down a hill. No instructions or clues, and no rings in the act to save you. Just don't die from the same balls.

Mario and Luigi dream team. Loved that game, but couldn't get past beef cloud.

Final Fantasy. My friend and I played it cooperatively, and we made our team four red mages. There was a mini boss in the final dungeon we kept getting destroyed by no matter how much we would go back and grind levels. We finally gave up. I couldn't beat Super Mario Kart either, but i didn't actually get to play that as much.
