It would have been great to have a save feature back then. But the game did have warping, so it was doable in a short period of time. Essentially, people played games a lot more because:
1. If you were a kid back then, you likely didn’t have a thriving career.
2. Games were much more expensive back then. Factoring inflation, they were the equivalent of about 120 to 200 USD, depending on where you purchased them.
So players got REALLY good at those games to the point of going through the levels were as much about memory as skill, if not more about memory.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
