Why Were Games So Damn Hard Back Then?!

[Another Man]

Have any of you brehs ever beaten World 7 - Pipe Maze on Mario 3? I would always use one of the whistles to skip that shyt.

Them wussles

That tornado swooped yo ass

 

[playboyric]

i remember my dad and i coppin this when it came out im 26 now and i still cant beat this shyt

 

[Regular_P]

Same here. That's when I bumped into this video and just watched that shyt like

I've never seen past the water stage. That guy is a Jedi Master.

 

[darealvelle]

Contra without using the konami code was

 

[BasedPrime]

I actually meant Castlevania 3

 

[Ill-Mind]

I never finished mario 2 or chip and dales rescuse rangers.... fukk u Fat Cat

I beat him, but went through hell to do it

Fat Cat was bout that action tho

 

[mrken12]

fukk Battletoads. That's all I have to say.

 

[Ill-Mind]

But to answer OP's question, the challenge is what kept most of us coming back. That feeling of accomplishment when you would beat a game back then

I loved using the Morning Star and the Flame whip but Castlevania 2 used to piss me off. I would purposedly put in the wrong return game to Blockbuster so I could keep it a extra night to keep playing that bytch

Maaan Blockbuster & 99¢ Whoppers held a Young breh down for the Weekend but if that Game was Wack that shyt would fukk off the whole Weekend to where you couldnt wait for School on Monday

Edit:I(or my Older Bro & Sis at least)beat all 3 SMBs come on "Coli Gamers"

this game was the reason ofg countless blisters. i honestly believe this game was defective. there was no beating this. i never ran into or heard anyone say they finished it. only dude i knew who was a super ahrdcore gamer, had least 300 cartridges in his crib with notebooks full of notes as he went through the game was telling me most of the arcades revenge were defective

 

[froggle]

I wonder if there is a study highlighting people who grew up playing these hard ass games. Are they more resilient, successful than their other counterparts. When I beat Battletoads, that feeling of exhilaration I do not think I will ever experience again. That game was so hectic and stressful, but I did it ...when so few did. TMNT game gave me nightmares....but as a grown man I keep going till I wil in anything I do

 

[AquaCityBoy]

I still haven't beaten Crash Bandicoot.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I mean even a fukking Lion King game was difficult.....

fukkING LION KING.

I still remember getting Super Nintendo for christmas with X Men....me and my uncle spent the whole day getting washed ,didn't help I had my mom and aunt seeing our frustration being typical women talking shyt

"I don't know why you just didn't ask for books from santa.... or more wrestling men instead of this hard game" -

TMNT is the hardest fukking game I ever played..hands down

Thought it was just me and my best friend.


at the time we wasted trying to beat it. nikkas teamed up and everything. I loved that game tho
