hmm, ok. How about this: in Kingdom Hearts' Traverse Town, I ran around a heartless infected suburb for about 1 and a half hours, trying to work out what it was that I was supposed to do. I was pretty frustrated when I walked back through the door I came in through at the beginning of it all, and the story picked up again.
Also, recently I got to the end of System Shock, and sweared a lot when I couldn't kill SHODAN - a cyberspace battle that ends in defeat if SHODAN's face fills the screen before you kill her. Looking for some tips as to what I should do (and I tried everything to see if I could hit the "fire" button that little bit faster), I found out that the "fill" effect was supposed to happen in about 25 seconds, instead of the 5 I was getting. Because my PC was too good for the game (well SShock1 IS 10 years old), it was running the final battle too fast for it to be humanly possible for me to complete it! I eventually found a way round that though: I played it in a higher resolution (was super-blocky 320x200. You spend £300 on a new GFX card, and you don't even use it). That did mean that the mouse cursor was stuck in the upper-left of the screen though...
