Yes. Wonder Boy in Monster Land for the Sega Master System/VC. I really love that game (mostly for nostalgia, probably), but I know that at the very end of the game there's a part in the final castle that 9.9/10 times I won't be able to pass, as it requires perfect jumping to progress and the control is terrible. And since you're essentially on a timer, not passing it enough times means death.
Another one is Ghost's n' Goblins, but I've gotten so good at it that it's not too difficult anymore (it's just not a very good game to start with, more a matter of principle that I conquer it now and then).
