The most frustrating game I ever played was ZORK GRAND INQUISITOR.
In the beginning of the game you had to turn up the radio volume to sneak along the guards. And after playing days and days and nights, at the end of the game you cannot finish it because you left the radio playing too loud. And no way to fix it. You had to play the game completely from start..(which I never did).
It still haunts me...

P.S. If you want to play a real nice point and click game with a story behind it and beautiful graphics .. Syberia from Benoit Sokal. Benoit was a professional illustrator, who decided to make a computer game. His first was Amerzone (which is recently revamped, but the original is also beautiful). But syberia series 1,2,3 is a real masterpiece in storytelling (although some of the scenes maybe a bit slow in progress since you have to puzzle a lot to find the pieces and make progress). I very much like to play these games as if reading a book. So if I am stuck for hours without any progress, I stop, then I use an online walk through (yes, shame...) next day to get to the next scene. To keep the pace.
