You couldn't pay for this with your fuckin' lunch money. The NES cartridge didn't have a lot of space, so developers had to mind their limits, but also try to make a game that lasted a long time so gamers got their fortune's worth. The easy out at the time was making a game that was frustratingly hard. Most of the time it was in cheap ways."''

98	->VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' wasn't a game, it was a secret project to electronically destroy the human soul. The game was harder than a diamond strap-on and did similar things to you when you played with it. Either that or it was a secret project to [[PsychicChildren trigger latent psychic powers]], as that was the only way to get past [[ThatOneLevel the jet bike levels]]. It was proof that kids would spend four months subjecting themselves to thumbscrews if that was what they'd spent their birthday money on.''

104	->''Tell me, please, why does the GAME have to win? Huh? What happens when the game wins and I lose? Is there some huge fucking kegger waiting for it when it gets done? Is there money involved? Or perhaps the motives are more sinister. Maybe the game's family is being held hostage by another game and that game has its cock in F-Zero's wife's mouth and he's holding a cell phone up to her and F-Zero can hear her pained moans and cries for help and the asshole game then says, "You beat that cock-sucking human, or I'll blow her brains out." I COULD UNDERSTAND THAT. I CAN BE SYMPATHETIC.''

107	->''"The idea of struggling against a game that does absolutely everything in its power to put you down, where every level completed is another tiny and insignificant victory against the malicious game designer, has some sort of weird appeal... A lot of die-hard retro gamers often pine for the days when games were a real challenge--VideoGame/TheTowerOfDruaga exemplifies this in spades. So, if you're sick of modern games holding your hand with endless tutorials, and want a genuine challenge that will almost certainly crush your enthusiasm for all forms of electronic entertainment, be my guest!"''

112
113	->''The reason contemporary retro games usually fail to emulate the "Nintendo hard" experience no matter how hard they try is because they are, in fact, trying. The greater part of "Nintendo hard" didn’t emerge from intent. It emerged from '''a.''' nonexistent quality control, and '''b.''' game programmers straight-facedly insisting that obvious bugs were actually intended features.''

116	->''[[SequelDifficultySpike Every addition to]] [[Videogame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels Super Mario Bros. 2]] (with the one exception of Luigi's higher jump) was designed to make the player's life more difficult, from poison mushrooms to Piranha Plants that don't play by Piranha Plant rules to backwards fucking warp zones. I'll take [[Videogame/SuperMarioBros2 a doctored]] VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic any day, thank you. (...) Videogame/FinalFantasyII is very much like the original Super Mario Bros. 2 in its evident eagerness to pound the player into timorous submission. You've got to wonder what was discussed at that important Creator/{{Square}}Soft staff meeting in early 1988: "okay, so we have a runaway RPG hit on our hands and we need to make a sequel while there's still interest. I think our goal for Final Fantasy II should be to make as many people as unhappy as possible, and we can begin by revamping the mechanics so that the most efficient way of increasing your characters' stats is to have them beat the hell out of each other in battle. Sound good to you folks?"''
117	-->--'''[[https://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=ff02 Pat R.]]'''
118
119	->''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Final Fantasy]] was ''not'' an easy game. You can only save in inns or by buying houses, and by doing so didn't remove status effects like poison. Fallen allies can only be revived with the White Mage life spell, or by using heart shaped clinics, which were crossed shaped churches in the Japanese version. Enemies didn't drop items and some of the later game spells became insanely expensive. And then there were ineffective attacks, meaning if one of your party members killed an enemy before the others got a chance to take a shot at them, their moves, or even their magical charges, would be wasted. The monsters would also jump from being a walk in the park to a virtually impossible deathmatch at a moments notice, and Creator/{{Square\|Enix}} would [[SequelDifficultyDrop tweak each upcoming sequel in an attempt to balance the overall difficulty level]]''.

122	->''Like Videogame/CastleOfIllusion, before you start the game, you are taken to the game's options screen. You have the option of setting the game to Very Hard (listed on the options screen as "Easy"), Ridiculously Hard (Normal) and Impossibly Hard (Hard). You can also change the number of lives that Mickey has, which are known as dreams in this game. It is set at 3, although you can only decrease them, if you feel man enough.''
