Don't Look Back

Don't Look Back is an 8-bit-like game.  You start out at a tombstone and move from static screen to static screen.  You are given a gun to defend yourself from the monsters along the way.  If you go back a screen you reset the screens ahead of you.  If you die you reset the screen you are on or the set of screens you are on. 

This game frustrates me when I either have to go back or I die.  It is really simple game play, yet you have to use skill to overcome the obstacles.  It could be seen as having heavy influence from Super Mario Bros.  It can be seen as a throwback game to a time when graphics were simpler and game play was extremely skill based.
