Retro games you wish were harder to beat? (lemmy.world)

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?

I’d say maybe Kirby’s Dreamland and Kirby’s Dreamland 2 for gameboy, but I actually really enjoyed the mindless simplicity of the whole experience.

Battletoads for Gameboy. I just wanted to hear more of that slamming soundtrack, but the flying level beat me..

EDIT Oh snipes I misread the post, I thought they were asking for games that were too hard

I would have loved for Pokemon Red/Blue to have had some infinite endgame. It was already a big game so no harm done, bu I would have loved to have more use for my overpowered pokemon

I considered the early Kirby's but I think youre right. Their low-difficulty is their charm.

Not sure about the second game, but when you beat the first one it would tell you how to unlock hard mode. And if you beat that, it would tell you how to adjust your max health and starting lives so you could give yourself even more of a challenge.
