Aladdin for the SNES the Lava stage where you have to carpet ride through a really narrow passage way with lava chasing you.  It's a classic 2d gaming moment with sinmple up, down, right, and left controls that is just intense in a hardcore way.  Perfect example of how gaming can be mad simple and yet mad hard.  Very old school Mega Man-ish in that way.

The Original Mortal Kombat for SNES where you have to chop blocks of wood and metal by button mashing on A B at the same time.  Freakin insane especially if you are with a friend taking turns.

I can't think of to many modern examples because gaming has just gotten mad easy.  I'll give a shout out to Smash Bros. Melee Event match 51 with Giga Bowser and Company.
