The Best Games Nobody's Ever Actually Beaten

I have only played that game at a friend's house while I was "house-sitting"
I gave up about 2 minutes in after like 1 minute 45 seconds of "Get back in formation, Fox!"
I was just like "Formation?!? Man, fuck that."
BillAdama:
I don't get that 'formation' part of it in the training mission. That was stupid and impossible to nail quite right.
I beat Star Fox on the easy path, but on the medium path I only got to the last level, and on the hard path I don't think I ever got past level 3.

Magic Carpet, back in the days of DOS and all it's glory, it had some 50 levels, and after 45 it became super impossible, mostly because you started off every level with nothing, no spells, mana nothing. I've tried playing it again, but it doesnt run well in DOS emulators.
Tartar Martyr:
I used to plug away at games until I beat them when I was younger. There were some rare exceptions (the ninja turtla platformer... jesus, after Leonardo and Donotello got beatin up I was finished. I don't think I ever made it further than the first area you access with the missiles on the van). But most of the time I would just replay things over and over again because I had no money to buy new games (this is the only reason I beat the NES Mega Man games, some of those were unbelievably hard).
But now I quit games because they either get boring (the final fantasy re-issues coming out for GBA... I don't know how I played these before because now they just seem too boring... and there is not enough guidance at times) or after I get to a point where I decide that getting further will require a serious commitment (this is why I have never gotten past the 4th level on Ikaruga. I love the game, but it just goes insane about halfway through level 3).
I think I beat Vice City, but I quit San Andreas once they tried to make me learn how to fly. Sorry, but I can't fly a plane with a fucking keyboard... Helicopters are even worse. GTA 3 was fun, but once the gangs started going nuts I just got sick of dying all the time. When you are cruising around and then guys start blasting shot guns it is just annoying (two hits blow up the car... the first hit shows no damage... that really annoyed me).
Link to the Past was a weird game for me. I started playing it when I was little (probably around 10 years old?) and got stuck in the first temple in the dark world. Then I picked it up again after I beat Ocarina of Time (I was 14 now), and moved forward a little bit, but got stuck in the ice temple (#4 I think?). Then I picked it up once again when I was 16 and beat it. The weirdest thing though is that I played through it again before Christmas (I'm now 22) and I remembered EVERYTHING. All the bottles, pieces of heart, tricks in the temples... it was actually kind of scary.
Banjo Kazooie is another game that I need to go back and beat. I loved that game when it came out and played it pretty much non-stop until I got to the final battle with Gruntilda. I may have beaten her, but I am pretty sure that I didn't... I just remember running out of gold feathers really fast every time I fought her.
The most current game to give me fits is Fire Emblem (the first American GBA one). I have played through it to the final battle twice, trying different groups of characters, but I always get screwed in the final showdown. An enemy spell caster will show up right next to my guys and cast "beserker" before I can get out of his range... so he turns one of my best characters against me... but I can't attack that character, or corner him with strong defensive characters... it is REALLY annoying because there is no way to avoid it (that I have found).
Most of my friends that played the KOTOR games either got annoyed with the combat system and quit, or quit because of the pacing... but I ate those games up. I think I played through the second one in two weekends... which is pathetic. No one should log 50 hours in a game over 6 days (2 Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays) while taking 17 semester hours and 30 hours a week... it was definitely one of those things where the sun rising convinces you to go to sleep. I loved those games though (didn't care for the abrupt end in the second, or how they made your character go in alone at the end when you had been fighting with 3 characters throughout the game... but they were awesome games).

I can't beat Starcraft with the Terrans. It's that first level with the stupid stealth cloaky ship thingies- that and I absolutely suck at RTS games unless it's AoE or C&C, and then I still suck but slightly less.
