I just finished playing Uniracers (yes, the oldschool SNES game) for a few hours and good word my hands are sore from gripping that controller until my knuckles were white.
What games do this to you, my fellow EoFFers?
Vidya games that make your hands hurt

The first Mario Party for N64. I remember playing that game and getting blisters on the palm of my hand. Mainly because they had that rotate the control stick as fast as you can in some of the mini-games, and the best way to do that was using your palms.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
The last game that made my hands hurt was Melee. I got stuck with a troutty controller that had a jagged analog stick and it dug into my thumb.
I never really got cramps or anything otherwise, I must not play that much.
There used to be an old fishing game for PS2 that made you spin the analog stick around in circle as fast as possible, that sucked.
When I get back into Mega Man X games after not playing them for a while constantly holding down the charge button causes my hands to cramp up.
>>Am willing to change opinions based on data<<
I don't play them too often, but fighting games generally hurt my hands quickly.
As VeloZer0 mentioned, any Mega Man game where you constantly hold to charge gets me.
But what really got me about a decade ago was Luigi's Mansion. Good game, but the controls required you to twist your hands like a contortionist.
Rockstar games. They seem to think that using A/X to run and sprint is a good idea, because they're smurfing morons.
Omg, this.Originally Posted by Agent Proto

I once played this until the blister started to peel off. I then proceeded to rip the rest of it off, wait for the burning feeling to pass, throw a sock over my hand (no band-aid mind you, that would have required getting up) and continuing with the game. I wish my hand was the only casualty of that game but I lost two controllers to it too.
In retrospect, I really hate the original Mario Party.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 once cost me the skin on both my thumbs from a marathon multiplayer session with my brother in law years okay & recently Heavy Rain gave me a bad cramp in my wrist!
I used to mash up my wrist something fierce as an 11 year old when I first got my PS1 as I was used to the classic joystick or mouse to play games. These days anything like Tekken or Dynasty Warriors that requires me to mash the "face" buttons hard and fast. I've started mapping the keys on these sorts of games so I just use the shoulder buttons instead, and it really helps a lot.THERE'S A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE CAN BE HAPPY
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? ONCE AGAIN THAT IS THE INCREDIBLE
It's in our nature to KILL KILL KILL
etc.
You are hardcore, sir, and I salute you.I once played this until the blister started to peel off.

Button mashing at Tekken!
It seems hardcore until you consider I was forced to pick sock lint out of an open blister after the game was done. Then it just seems kind of stupid.
The first one that comes to mind is my first time beating Final Fantasy IX. I was playing it on my PS2, (or at least using a PS2 controller), and I was getting so into it that when I beat the final boss and threw the controller down half of the black colouring and glittery stuff from the controller had come off and gone all over my hands.
Not sure if this is a common thing with PS2 controllers or not, but it's the only time it ever happened so I assume I was just getting really into it.
