World 7 isn't so bad. it's the flying tank ship level in World 8 after the grabby hands that makes me wonder of possibility. i mean those jumps are soo huge and quick.

ARRGH....I decided to go back and play SMB3 again (without warping or skipping levels) and it was smooth sailing until World 5 and that damn Para-Beetle stage. I blew every one of the 20 or so lives I had built up (I didn't do the infinite 1-up thing in 1-2) and game over'd.

Man, I forgot how hard this game can be. If I'm having that much trouble on 5, I might never beat 7 again.

Yeah, I love how I think my 10-year-old self could beat the present me at certain games. Did we all get worse at games, or did games just get easier?

NES games weren't games. They were things that were so fuckingly hard that it was more of a test to see how much pain and anger we could tolerate before we threw our consoles out of the window and pissed on them.

Look at the Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania games.

They weren't games. Just pains in the ass...

Here's yet another:

How about the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game?

Now THAT was hard!

EDIT: What the hell? I feel like an old person on the front porch sitting in a rocking chair talking about ancient times.

::old, crotchedy voice:: "When I was your age, we had to BLOW into our games and systems to get'em to work. And when they didn't...we PRAYED to the Gods for an hour at most. Otherwise, we used Q-tips and other such contraptions to get 'em to work. And you can forget about save points!!! I remember way back then when games were hard...sometimes possibly unbeatable...and if you didn't bring your A-game that day...well you might as well come back to play another day. Sometimes we even started with only 3 lives in a game that would take HOURS to complete!...." ::old-person babbling::

Dude, the first TMNT game is fucking good, but hard as balls. I tried to replay that game and finish it months ago, but when I got to the Technodrome level...I remembered why I never finished it. TMNT 2 and 3, I got to beat, but dude....the first game, as good as it is, is sooooo wrong.
