The game is Karateka http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karateka_%28video_game%29
Quote:
At the successful conclusion of the game, the hero is reunited with Mariko as he frees her from her prison cell. He must then drop his fighting stance and run into her arms. The game concludes with a musical tribute and description of the player's success. If the hero approaches Mariko in fighting stance, she kicks him in the head, killing him in one blow. In the NES version Mariko will accept the player regardless of the stance.
Pretty much everyone who played this game for the first time for hours and hours with no continues and finally made it to the end, walked up to the bitch in fighting stance and got one-shotted. Which is basically the developer kicking you in the teeth, laughing, and saying "start over, motherfucker".
