Remember when games were HARD?

It's a pretty boring Saturday. My wife's at work and I'm home alone. I have been in a retro gaming mood recently. I played Killer Instinct all day last Sunday, and last night I fired up some Mega Man 2. Today I decided to play Mortal Kombat 3. I fired up my Midway Arcade Treasures 2 disc and proceeded to give it a go. I started on the Novice tier since I'm more of a Street Fighter gamer than a MK one. I pretty much breezed through the game with Sindel remembering more moves as I progressed in the game, the I got to Montero..............boy he was tough, a lot tougher than I remember. Anyway I beat him and moved on to Shao Kahn and he destroyed me round after round for the next hour until I tapped out and turned my console off after a straight hour of just fight him!!!! The same situation happened with Street Fighter 2 when I got the Capcom Collection. There's not a fighting game out right now that's as difficult as those two games on the default setting. The same goes for adveture games, everyone talks about how difficult Ninja Gaiden was for the Xbox or Devil May Cry 3, but I beat those games. The NES Ninja Gaiden was pretty tough esspecially the last stage if you lost to the boss. Then there's Blaster Master, Battletoads and a host of others. Gamers have easy nowadays, sometimes I actually miss that challenge. Unfortunately with work and a wife, I have less and less time to dedicate to gaming. Well there's always sick days lol.
