Certain death...
I've just had a quick bash of Manic Miner, as I do every now and then. I was doing well, not a life lost, then came "The Endorian Forest"... all lives gone. That screen means sure-fire death for me, every time.
Another one: Silkworm. I'm pretty sure I used to be good at this way back when, but now I always get as far as the bit where the fighter jets start charging towards me and then "BOOM!", certain death, lives lost, game over, every time.
Anyone else have a certain bit in a game that they just can't get past?

robocop - the bit after the title screen
ghouls and ghosts - on the first level just after the graves
I've not played Ghouls & Ghosts on the Speccy, basically because I found the first one so damn hard... I can make it a few steps forward and that's about it. :grin:
In fact, I've never played Caves Of Doom either... might give that a go now, actually. :)
Then there is the end of level 4 boss in R-type which I only got past ... once.
A Day In The Life - I was stuck on the same screen (the bistro) for 22 years. I finally worked it out by sheer fluke in 2008, only to get stuck again 2 screens later. I am still working on it, although it's starting to dawn on me that I may not get there in my lifetime :( I'll have to start training my kids... maybe put a clause in my will or something...
Combat School - the level where you have to fight the instructor. I managed it once only to immediately die on the next level. I've given up on this one now.
It's not quite the same thing, but in Head Over Heels, I can have a sort of mini breakdown where I just can't judge how to jump over craters. I can just snap at any time and instantly burn through 8 lives - incredibly frustrating.
Exactly the same here..!
Thanatos - the bit where the bees appear
Batty - round 3 (in the unlikely event I scrape past round 2)
Ghosts N' Goblins - The 'building section' of the second level. I can usuallly make it this far without may problems, but I just can't make it past this part!
Airwolf - That first bastard wall! I only ever made it past that thing once and was gutted to find another one just past that!
Ninja - Just before the last idol as the game randomly crashes (I could probably beat this game otherwise)
Renegade - The last level with the 4 blokes with the blades. i did make it past them a few times, but not very often and always got shot by the main boss
Yeah I never once got passed that cheeky little git.
Got stuck trying to complete any tasks in time in Technician Ted.
i really hope thats a joke post. :-P
Shameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee on you ! Listing Bruce Lee alongside tough games such as Airwolf and Ghosts n Goblins, you should be ashamed !
I dont remember if i ever survived longer than a minute.

Interesting.. This level wouldnt need to be particularly difficult.
It is only important to quickly climb over the red platforms and keep them for returning:

Surely the hardest level in MM was 19 - Solar Power Genarator, folowing by Level 17 - The Warehouse.

I remember struggling forever with Big Bertha back in the days, until I found out how to deal with her: just move away from her diagonally so you get some space between until she makes her run. Then just be cool and wait for her to approch you and do a jump kick. It is not that hard!
But what is hard: the shooting boss at stage four, that one have I never be able to pass... ;)
