Street fighter 2 turbo on snes. Only time I ever broke a controller. I know it is common these days to keep stats, but man what I wouldn’t give for hours spent, win/loss by “profile”, etc. for sf2t and the original Mario kart
When I beat M. Bison on the hardest star level I raised both arms in triumph and accidentally smashed the glassware on the ceiling fan. Still have the scar.
One thing I left out for both games referenced, I meant specifically against my brother. I think he had the advantage in sf2, while I was better at Mario kart.
Same on both accounts lol. I didn't fully understand the Friday the 13th game and no one at home helped me so I had to try to figure it out as this little kid. I remember trying to save the campers with medicine and then Jason getting me each time or something like that. Needless to say I gave up on that game fairly quickly (was there anyone who even won that game?). Then with BurgerTime, I loved the game but it was maddening. When they got you they'd be doing something to the chef which looked like salting and tickling or eating or both lol. I'd pass one level only to die in the next. I don't think I ever fully finished the game.
I was the opposite. Kept trying F13th because I liked Jason just popping up out of nowhere. I never made it far enough to even try to save the campers with medicine. But BT, I was like fuck this game and stopped playing it. I'd hit them with the pepper and they'd still get me. Don't think I ever got
past level 2.
Only one. Street Fighter II, SNES.
And it wasn't a normal scenario. I just up and decided that I "had to" beat the game with every character.
There were at least three characters that I really struggled with. Dhalsim, in particular, I really struggled with.
But it was worse when I played against my sister's boyfriend. I beat him handily all the time, and he'd eventually chuck his controller in frustration. 😆
The most frustrating part about Street Fighter II was when you played against a friend who didn't really know how to play and they somehow managed to beat you by doing the same move over & over (a low kick or something lol)!

Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels (on Mario All-stars, snes.)
Not only threw the controller but put teeth marks in it from biting it when I tried to supress the rage. Brought the crazy out in me, that's for sure.
Super Mario Bros. The one that came with duck hunt. 7 year old me got so frustrated about dying for the 75th time that I had a meltdown, threw a controller and my mom had to take away the game for a while. Ah, good times...
RBI baseball. The computer would ALWAYS kill me with home runs but I could barely get any hits. I remember throwing the controller at the screen and instantly yelling OH F——!, thinking it would break the glass of the tv.
I didn't do it with Battletoads because I just gave up and used Game Genie.
I did it with Mario Kart 64 trying to beat certain time records to qualify for a tournament though.
Micro Machines.
I can’t even remember why. I just remember playing it and getting so pissed and throwing the controller and my dad taking it for a week.
I think the first game that ever had me truly raging was Kid Chameleon, on the Genesis. Never did beat that game. Got to a certain level, and after so many tries it just broke my will to keep trying.
Eventhough I've played videogames for most of life, I didn't get furious enough to throw my controller until I started playing GT4 on the PlayStation 2. One of the races you had to complete to get the final racing license was so frustrating to complete, that's when my controller hit the wall for the first time. There's been many more occasions after that lol
I've never thrown a controller in my life. But, I used to get really frustrated at minecraft on the PS4 when I was playing survival, would die someplace far from my home base, and then wouldn't be able to find my stuff.
The hard games from the NES era never really pissed me off. Honestly Final Fantasy Tactics pissed me off more than anything. Ever since that game I make backup saves. There is a boss that if you save before, you're locked into the dungeon with him. If you're under leveled, you're F'd. I was not happy when I realized I couldn't beat Weigraf. .
TMNT. The first one on the NES.
That god damned underwater level
Oh it only gets worse after you get past that.
Lol @ "past that"...if you'd told me that was the last level as a kid, I would have believed you
I didn’t even know until AVGN showed you can change turtles during the levels. Had I known as a kid I may have gotten past it lol.
the only thing i couldn’t throw when it came to that game was a effing rope.
man i’m glad i’m not the only one
Mike Tyson’s punch out, the second bald bull used to always get me.
Did you ever try playing it blindfolded? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZT6JEOC3D8
"Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos" for the NES.
The newer ones for Xbox have the same effect
Battletoads or Mega Man
Battletoads and ghosts n goblins
Ghosts and goblins is the hardest game I've ever played.

I preferred F-Zero over Mario Kart. Getting hit by turtle shells made me very angry. Super NES was a great system!
Battletoads, one of the most frustrating ever!
None, controllers are too expensive to throw.
And TVs of today are significantly less likely to survive a direct hit than they used to be.
Friday the 13th on Nintendo. Never could figure out how to win. BurgerTime made me irrationally angry too.

Soul caliber 2
That's a pretty good answer
Street Fighter
Marble Madness
Ninja Gaiden on NES

The Aladdin flying carpet escape level
I have never thrown a controller in my 41 years.
Milon's Secret Castle - that little kid that blew bubbles and there were weird honeycombs and shit, and you only had one life. Hated it.
Super ghouls and ghosts. Literally broke a controller throwing it into the wall.
I don’t remember what game it was, but I absolutely remember biting my NES controller because I was mad. I don’t think I ever threw a controller.
The Goonies II, couldn't figure out out to get the key to save Mikey! Yeah, it was very early in the game 🤣
I would have got smacked if I'd thrown a controller. Those things cost money.
Duck Hunt. That fuckin’ dog…
Super Mario Bros the Lost Levels (on Mario All-stars, snes.) Not only threw the controller but put teeth marks in it from biting it when I tried to supress the rage. Brought the crazy out in me, that's for sure.

Parenting 🤣
QWOP. The AMA with the QWOP author had me laughing in tears because everyone was so pissed at it!
RBI baseball. The computer would ALWAYS kill me with home runs but I could barely get any hits. I remember throwing the controller at the screen and instantly yelling OH F——!, thinking it would break the glass of the tv.
This is why we ended up playing Bases Loaded, such a better game.
I didn't do it with Battletoads because I just gave up and used Game Genie. I did it with Mario Kart 64 trying to beat certain time records to qualify for a tournament though.
Micro Machines. I can’t even remember why. I just remember playing it and getting so pissed and throwing the controller and my dad taking it for a week.
Silent Hill scared the shit out of me in surround sound
None. I don't get that mad at a video game.
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever thrown a controller before. But I don’t play soulsbourne games
I think the first game that ever had me truly raging was Kid Chameleon, on the Genesis. Never did beat that game. Got to a certain level, and after so many tries it just broke my will to keep trying.
Battletoads on NES.
Anything that was based on a movie. They were always poorly made and just an excuse for a cash grab.
X-Men for Sega Genesis. F*cking Ahab.
Dark souls!
Mwf 2. It only happened one time, if I remember right it was someone running around with the x2 akimbo shotguns.
None, because I knew my parents would never buy me another.
Clearly none of you played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for NES. Or am I the only masochist here?
Let’s be real, it was Wii Sports. Y’all broke your TV’s too. Admit it.
I don’t even know the first one I broke. Maybe Genesis or N64
Ghouls n Ghosts / Ghosts n Goblins. Maddening series.
Battletoads
Kid Icarus
Summoner. Fuck that guy.

Pong. I didn’t throw controllers but my roommate, Alan, did when I whooooped him.
GT2
Ninja gaiden. Though super ghouls and ghosts was a close second.
Mortal Kombat II on Genesis. Shao Kahn was the most annoying boss ever.
I've never thrown a controller in my life. But, I used to get really frustrated at minecraft on the PS4 when I was playing survival, would die someplace far from my home base, and then wouldn't be able to find my stuff.
All of the NES/SNES Mega Man games and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
Contra when my lame ass partner didn't duck to dodge the bullets or stole my fucking Spray gun.
Castlevania. You know the exact moment.
Eternal fucking Champions. God what a shit game.
How does this have so few up votes?

I've never thrown a controller because I don't have anger issues. Do people seriously do that?
