Favorite or most peculiar cases in games where you play against something or someone that can't be defeated at the start of the game?

It's a bit convoluted, But it basically refers to those cases where at the start of the game, You play a battle (I use the word 'Battle' to simplify things as the Gameplay varies with genre) and despite anything, You are forced to lose, As this becomes the excuse for the game story and its development.

This becomes more frustrating when you are able to play normally, But no matter how well you play you still lose, And even becomes absurd in genres such as RPG games with new game plus.

I don't remember too many myself, The least I remember are RPG's where the outcome is completely forced and somewhat bad.

Final Fantasy 2, Famicom.
Usually, people find some way to glitch or cheat the game somehow to win the first fight, but in this game there is literally nothing you can do to cheat the system or get around the fact that your characters are gonna die.

I think I saw a video on it recently where someone figured it out, but either way you just end up as if you had lost anyway.

The perfect bullshit introduction to a bullshit game.
