Why Older Games Where more Difficult to Complete
Older video games, particularly from the NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64 eras, were often more difficult due to limitations in cartridge storage space and the high cost of games. Developers extended gameplay by increasing difficulty and puzzle complexity, as well as omitting features like mini-maps. This design choice contrasted with modern games that prioritize accessibility and shorter completion times.
