13 Video Games That Are Even More Frustrating Than Flappy Bird

3. Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

Yes, you read the title right. A game based off of the book of the same name, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES is one of the many examples of a work only having the name in common with the source material (looking at you World War Z). The game has no introduction, no tutorial, no starting message, just nothing. It throws you right into the unorganised fray, which gets messier and messier as time goes on. The player is supposed to guide the Doctor to his wedding, but if he gets mad he turns into Mr. Hyde. The only thing the Doctor can do is walk to the right while other pedestrians walk past him. This quickly leads to chaos as some people damage him and some do not. Since all the NPC's look the same, you can't tell which are harmful. Add in tiny spiders to jump over and random bombs to dodge, and now you have a party. When Jekyll gets bumped into enough times, all of a sudden day turns to night, all the pedestrians disappear, and monsters take their place instead. Next thing you know, the player must then walk the opposite way, killing beasts to calm down and turn back into Jekyll. The lack of coherent story, terrible gameplay, confusing mechanics, and the overall stupidity of the game made many a gamer wonder why they even purchased the title in the first place. The same way they questioned their sanity after getting Flappy Bird.
