Me: remembering how many games were ruined by capitalism needing to make most of them too hard because "If they're too hard to beat during a weekend rental then people will be forced to buy the full game!"
I'm still bitter about Ecco the Dolphin and Dynamite Headdy. So much wasted potential.
Fuck that fucking octopus. Fuckin asshole. Suck off me
The Japanese version of Dynamite Headdy is much more chill. There was a bizarre practice of making games harder for westerners in the 8/16-era. There's a fan translation patch on romhacking.net.
A reverse example is that the Japanese versions of Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, & 3 were made to be easier than the original versions.
Anti-gamers continue to lose.
Edit: OP, get good at facts & logic. As I have by playing Sierra adventure games.
