To every imbecile on my age bracket that says games today are easier (yes they are, before they needed to hide 30min of gameplay on 6 months of playing) I just say them go and play begin to end without ever dying the game, whenever you die restart from the beginning.

The upside was that those 30min of gameplay were often so well design and fun that you ended up losing and losing repeatedly until you eventually beat the game.

I agree with you. I lived those times and played plenty of those games with some I still loving. But that doesn't make me preach on how much easier games are nowaday (it was common for most gamers to never reach the end of most if not all the games they played, and held prestige to finish some games).
