I speedrun Hot Wheels Turbo Racing for the N64. A few weeks ago, I was on track to set a new personal best (possible world record) when I hit another racer, which for some odd reason sent my car straight up in the air, out of bounds and crashed the game.
Beyond angry was all I could say.
Also, a lot of the bosses in Phantasy Star VI for the Sega Genesis. If you've never played it, classic RPG. The original had no save points in dungeons at all. You could only save on the over world map. Also, many of the bosses were much more difficult to beat than the grunt enemies (standard in an RPG, true. But you could wizz through a dungeon and one shot everything at say, level 20 and then need to be level 30 to beat the dungeon boss. Insane curve unlike any other.) Also, the dungeons in game are almost all giant mazes. So, you could play for hours, feel confident, finally find the boss and get wiped out in a single round and have to start all over because there are no freaking save points anywhere. Pure rage inducing. Still had to beat it for the story, but that game was torture at times.
