Back when I was 13 playing DKC on SNES, I'd always laugh at Cranky Kong when he'd bitch about "todays gamers are soft" etc. Now, I have BECOME Cranky Kong. Kids THESE days are soft as hell.
Kids who's first console was NES, we have twitch skills that other generations will never have. |
True dat. However, I grew up with an NES and took my lumps on SMB 1 and 3, Mega Man 2, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the tough as nails single player one), Ninja Gaiden and Street Fighter 2010. I will never go back to them (well maybe the SMB, they're a lot more fun than hard). Maybe I got spoiled, but I no longer enjoy only being able to get through half the game before hitting a brick wall halfway through and having to completely start over.
Hard = Good Disproportionate amount of punishment for dying or getting hit = Not fun

You may have moved on but at least you COULD beat those games, if you wanted to. Kid's these days will never get the same feeling of win as we did after beating Mega Man 2...never. lol

Time to come clean: I have played a lot of NES games, but the only ones I have ever finished are TMNT 2 (or three? It's sitting somewhere at my mom's house), Zelda 1 and SMB1. Granted, most of them were from two-day rentals or playing over a friend's or cousin's so I didn't get much time to get skilled at them, and I was in elementary school, so my gamer skillz weren't close to realizing their full potential. Either way, I hang my head in shame to say that I have never toppled some of the biggest mountains in gaming. Zelda 2 and Mike Tyon's Punch Out!! are two of the biggest skeletons in my closet even now. :(
