Back in the days, videogames still had this arcade character. Arcade games, due to economical reasons, by nature needed to be hard and punishing while still keep you motivated enough to feed the machine with another 10 cents. It took surprisingly a long time until console game developers actually realized that console games can be so much more than just high scores and the usual punishing 5-6 levels.
Unfortunately, although I have bright memories from the NES times, nowadays I can play those games only for nostalgia a little bit as most of them are simply too frustrating to play (same applies to many former cult SNES games). Even Super Mario Bros. 1, if you haven't played it for years you die surprisingly fast, especially as there are no continues.
