You know those games that kick your @$$ on a regular basis? Which one is your favourite, and why do you keep coming back?

Quoted from TheLaw:Tron is up there. I can have great games on it...but if it's in a bitchy mood you're toast!
Got to sea of stimulation 3 games in a row last week...goddamn portal is killing me.
Yeah, definitely agree with Tron. Nice and punishing when you miss shots. The spinning disk adds a good bit of random challenge that you really have to compensate for with good flipper control.

Tommy. The game kicks my a** on a regular basis, and I have yet to get to the wizard mode. I still love it, though.
DE:SW
Not the most difficult pin for sure, but my roommate and i are having a bit of an arms race to get the top scores. Takes a bit of work/luck to get into the 400M+ range.
Have to get the top score so you can clam dominance over the old DE:SW board before the new rom hits.
I second LWJP. No mega-points combos or stacked modes here. You have to earn all points, and be able to consistently make ALL pf shots to do so.

RBION. A real beast. Super deep, tons to do and unforgiving. That right outlane is far worse than STTNG's IMHO.
I've only made it to Wizard mode once on Shadow but I like the mini playfield, the modes, and game play a lot. I've made it pretty far, but have never really beaten Creature but love the theme of the 50's drive in.
TSPP - embodiment of "challenge", there are so many different things you can do. Lately, I've been trying to get to AI. Embarrassingly enough, this is one that has eluded me. Whenever I get that mode flashing I tend to choke....
Flash - When I just want to get my arse handed to me in a hurry. It can take me less than 2 minutes to be reminded that I suck.
Taxi has been a thorn in my side from day one. I don't think I have gotten a jackpot for almost a year now. Looks easy.... should be easy... nope. Stupid Taxi.

Geez, your built up jackpot must be huge. What does it max out at, 4 million or something?
LOTR. Yes, I get good ball times, but advancing past Destroy the Ring is quite a challenge for me. I have had the game less than a month, so that is a factor.

Quoted from 30FathomDave:Bram Stoker's Dracula and Tron
I must have missed the "got one" post!
Corvette and Shadow. I find Corvette to be more difficult.
I just realized I have a pretty good spread of the top designers.
Gomez, S.Ritchie, M.Ritchie, Borg, Lawlor, Eddy and some unknown Gottlieb designer. 
1. F-14 with lights off almost impossible.
2. BSD.
3. BK 2000
4. AcDc.
Funny 3 out of 4 SR pins.
