Virus for me. I'm sure I made it to level 3 or 4 once, before doing the usual inverted flip and thrusting myself in to the ground at breakneck speed
I'm sure more practice may have produced better results.

Yeah, Virus was damn hard because of the control sensitivity and the fact that aiming the gun was a bee-atch.
Getting the hovercraft off the ground was easy enough, but trying to out manoever and shoot down one of those pesky fighters was an object lesson in patience. Imagine sitting on the door sill of your car, steering with your foot and trying to reverse park and you have some idea.
There's quite a few games with nasty control settings... Trying to get your Cobra Mk III to dock with a space station for the first time in Elite was more hazardous than actual combat, getting your Lightning to land in Jet Pilot was equally difficult and of course we have Whirligig. Imagine Virus set in space, with extra sensitive mouse controls... Grrr!
