Topic	SNES & NES games difficulty is ridiculously hard compared to todays games
IceCreamOnStero 10/26/23 6:58:39 PM #13:	The_Korey posted... Arcades were cheap/difficult to eke out more quarters and that set the standards. Home konsols had to gradually break away from that. TimeForAction posted... Alot of games in that era had the possibility of being an arcade game in mind, so you would want people continually having to dump quarters in them Its not just arcades, its also the nature of being unable to make the big sprawling games of today. A game back in the game would take like an hour or two to beat it in one straight run, so to prevent a kid renting the gsme and blowing through it in a day, you add a bunch of trial and error bullshit to get them to buy it outright or rent it over and over. --- Dokkan ID: 2365415872 <cite>IceCreamOnStero posted [p:976877491] in SNES & NES...
