Retro games are often known for being more difficult than their modern brethren. Every now and then though you run into a game that is actually too easy. Which game would you prefer to have more of a challenge?

Most games can so easily be minmaxxed to death by reading wikis to figure out the exact mechanics. This wasn't a thing back in the day but all those samegames retroactively now have wikis.

I find it difficult to stop myself learning tips of how to complete the game smoothly but most of the time I'm very happy I didn't spoil it for myself.
