Message: [QUOTE="jon2, post: 65156, member: 2155"] I hear many young 'uns lament that NES-era games were hard and so on... I'm considered an old hand already, my first games were Super Mario Bros. and Galaga back in the late '80s, and looking at the evolution of video games, a quote from the manga series [I]Haikyuu![/I] comes into mind: And that's basically what old games were: they were platforms for skill acquisition. Only after acquiring the skill can one enjoy playing the game. It's off-putting for a casual or a newbie gamer, I know. And that also created a culture for the subset of the population that was called video gamers/game nerds back then (which is also an issue that opens a can of worms...). [/QUOTE]
