Wow, I posted this as a simple conversation thread, and it turned into a hot topic...
Anyway, I've just discovered another game I hate: Combat School for arcades! For those who haven't heard of it, you control a Marines recruit who is going through basic training. You have an obstacle course, three types of shooting ranges, an Ironman race, arm-wrestling, and a hand-to-hand combat fight with your drill instructor. Most of them aren't too bad (the obstacle course, Ironman race, and arm-wrestling are basically military versions of Track & Field minigames), but once you get to the fight with your drill instructor, it all goes downhill; the hit detection seems very biased toward the instructor (he'll almost always connect with his attacks, while you rarely will), and you'll probably find yourself getting your ass kicked multiple times due to the biased hit detection! But even worse, there's a Mission you have to do after graduation, which is hard as FUCK! You have to infiltrate a besieged White House (in your dress uniform, oddly enough), with NO WEAPONS, while many terrorists come rushing at you WITH WEAPONS! There are knife-wielding terrorists who can stab you before you can even hit them (a couple even THROW THEM AT YOU), molotov-throwing terrorists with the most sadistically erratic throwing pattern I've ever seen, and you also have to fight a chain-wielding terrorist and a final boss who has the same biased hit detection as your drill instructor! Because of this game, I have significantly less hair on my head, if you know what I mean!
Edit: Oh, and did I mention that all but the knife-throwers and final two enemies can kill you in ONE HIT!? And you have NO EXTRA LIVES AND CAN'T CONTINUE!?
