      @@Patrick19833 Most games back then were designed to be completed in one sitting, since the only saves they had were generally password-based. Unless you had a game with battery backup, it was probably designed to be finished in one sitting. I know parents didn't want to let their kids pause the game for hours at a time wasting electricity. I know my friend had just finished defeating the technodrome in "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles", and my mum told us to turn off the NES, because we had to go out. The same guy that I just watched finish off the technodrome also said the dam level was hard. I mean OK, maybe the dam level is hard if you don't swap out turtles, but I watched a lot of stuff after that, that looked a LOT harder than defusing the bombs in the dam. Like saving splinter from the fake turtle.

Legend of Zelda is a perfect example of a game that took forever to figure out how to beat. I still have a few names saved from the 80's and they are STILL on the game. Mario....I can beat it fast NOW, but back then....no way.
      Something else to consider, back in the 80's, unless it was absolutely horrible weather and nothing to do, EVERYONE went out a lot in the 80's. There was a lot more to do.

Well maybe if you didn’t grow up with dopamine overdoes you’re whole life might’ve been different, even if you are successful and have a family plenty of men aren’t. Most gamers can’t even concede its addicting and you need to be careful it doesn’t overtake you’re life, and good part of them have been taken over.

    I had supermario bros, I think it was just 2 and 3 I had, tmnt was the first game and the first frustrating one at that i played. it took me weeks to master it but i did and it was a proud moment.

    • @plateshutoverlock
      @plateshutoverlock Před rokem

      "tapes" - that annoyed the crap out of me. But I understand why they called NES cartridges "tapes" because the size and form factor were much like 8 track cartridges, and that the US NES was deliberately designed to resemble a VCR due to "video game console" being a dirty thing after the US VG Crash of 1983. The same reason for the NES being named an "entertainment system" avoiding any wording that would label it as a mere "video game console"

      If you went from an Atari 2600 or perhaps a "TV Tennis" console to an NES, you would've been blown away.

      I mean, it's a completely new way to interact with media at the time, and seemingly overnight their kids went from going out playing with friends to playing games at every waking moment, their school work suffers, and they seem obsessed with it.
      You're calling it ridiculous cause you've always had video games. This was an entirely new thing with no precedent. Not saying she's right, but I can easily see why someone would think that.
