For me it's Super Mario RPG word puzzle.
After I gave up, I wrote down all the in-game hints and asked my mom and my teacher and none of them knew the answer either so that was that.I was still in early grade school I think at the time.

There are two ways in. Did you not notice you had gadgets?

being under 10 and renting games without instruction manuals lead to some bad times. NES monopoly's auctions and Maniac Mansion's basement prison filtered me completely

I beat this game when I was six. One of my favorite childhood games. I probably tried to get a look at that silhouette in the shower a hundred times. Very fun game, wish it had a PC port because aiming with a controller feels so wrong to me now.

Now you understand why some games have retardedly easy "puzzles"

>Times when you gave up.
I couldn't do the infiltration part in Return to Castle Wolfenstein because I would always be found by the guards, no matter what I did; I crawled around, used the knife, savescummed but every time a guard from across the map would see me and turn the alarm.
I was 23. I suck at stealth in games, even though I enjoyed Thief and Thief 2 because you can blackjack every character you're not supposed to kill.

During the starstone search in Terranigma.
Found them all too except the one in the penguin village in Greenland.
Only one unimportant NPC mentioned vaguely how to get it but atp i saw it as a waste of time to search all cities and ports again for info.

Decades later and it's the exact same story with women, right? They're not called the formative years for nothing.

The rings from Superman 64. I was too young to figure out the controls and just flailed around and never got to the car part. Eventually my mom sold it at a garage sale because I gave up and never played it again. A few years ago I tried playing it again and the rings are easily the best part of the game. Everything else is a complete mess.

This was a top tier 007 game, the MP was way better than GoldenEye.
