    Easier is questionable. Some of the older games can be tough as hell. Especially with outdated control schemes.

      Ninja Gaiden from 1988 is still the hardest game I have ever played. It was next to impossible in the arcade and even harder on the NES

        Yeah I grew up with the NES MegaMan games. Revisiting them 30 years later made me realize just how brutally difficult they are. Enemies endlessly spawn and will spawn on top of you.

      Easier to get playing, at least.
      Put rectangle in rectangle.
      Toggle Power.
      Enjoy.

      Its seriously a bigger hassle to figure out where you were in a show on Netflix if it decided not to save your spot in a show than it is to get into a level in a lot of games back in the day.

        You forgot blow, blow, try and fail, special blow, etc.

        Don’t forget. No saves back then either. You either got nothin or had to write down a crazy save code.
