Man wtf is it with these young kids who can't game...

[Wild self]

these kids these days.. I was rocking heavy boots in the water temple at 9 years old! Nikkas had to READ playing ff and use their dexterity back then.

Kids these days have it too damn easy. Try playing Double Dragon 2 for the NES and not shed a few tears in the process. shyt, I play final fantasy tactics and that game is HARD, but I still stuck with it and mastered the Job system.

Back when I was 5, I was playing Mario Bros on the NES reaching the final stages and holding on for dear life.

Yo I never thought about how these text based RPGs helped me with reading and comprehension
Blessed times

Real talk, RPGs taught me to be very good at handling money in real life. Plus the old school platformers taught me the rigors and the basics of being a great gamer.

back in my day..

there was no guarantee that you were ever going to see the ending to the game you just bought

Come to think of it, there were a few 8 and 16 bit games that I never 100% completed

All these kids know these days are iPhone games and Call of Duty.

Hell even Sonic is hard for some kids today. I put my 7 year old cousin on Sonic 2 and he was getting bodied by Robotnik on stage 1. I was flipping this game multiple times at his age!

Man, what you know about Sonic 2 past Hill Top Zone? Oil Ocean had me @ the cheap enemies and Metropolis had me with that extra hard boss, but I stuck in there and beaten it and beaten the game like a true gamer. Without the 7 emeralds.

Back in my day if you showed up to the arcade and put your quarters on the machine to play the winner you better have known what the fukk you were doing. Didn't matter if it was MK, SF or Killer Instinct. If you tried to win a game by doing leg sweeps all match you would get harassed right there in front of your parents. The arcade had kids contemplating suicide. You better have memorized those moves and combos or you would get you ass whooped in the game and outside the game for wasting people's time.

If you're from South Florida and you went to that arcade in the Swap Shop in Sunrise in the mid 90s you know exactly what I'm talking about. That shyt was like a prison.

All you have to do is run an emulator (or virtual console) with Mario 1 & 2 from the NES days. Let some of these young kids try playing that so they can learn how to show respect to their gaming elders.

I was playing MK by myself in the early days at an arcade and some older dusty dude stepped up and demolished me with endless combos.

Then he looked at me like want a rematch?

I went to NBA Hangtime instead and put in work.

That's how it was breh. The older kids and adults had no mercy on you because you were a kid. The expected you to come correct and would give you that work if you didn't know your shyt and then clown you for good measure. God have mercy on your soul if you somehow won the match and decided to execute a "Friendship" as opposed to a Fatality.

I don't recall Double Dragon 2 being that hard. Actually, IIRC it was the easiest of all those Double Dragon games. Double Dragon 1 was hard as fukk, as was 3. And the SNES one was godly and gotdamn difficult too. 2 was a breeze though. Me and my crew used to run thru that game like 1nce a weekend at least.
