Then I guess Super Mario and Donkey Kong Country weren't among those "better games"? VIRTUALLY EVERY great platformer is loaded with trial and error game play! These games were tough as nails, it was impossible to breeze through them without dying constantly and learning from your mistakes and doing better next time. It was the basic part of any 8 or 16-bit platformer's structure. I was both an SNES AND a Genesis kid back then, the best platformers on both consoles did this. |
Neither Mario nor Donkey Kong relied on "impossible to see coming" death traps that necessitated trial and error.
