Does anyone remember the Commodore 64? Did anyone besides me actually own one in Australia? I know I wasn’t the only one (because I managed to purchase a second-hand one several years ago in a fit of nostalgia), and there were some mean games on the system that made me throttle the controller across the room (only to pick it up again and try one last time).

So where do we get off accusing something like Megaman 9 of being hard? It’s no Impossible Mission, but it does require a lot of trial and error. Certainly not as much trial and error as Syobon Action, but then again most people consider that game a cakewalk compared to IWBTG.

What happened to this “hardcore” gamer group that prizes their gamer-points and 8 hour sessions of an mmorpg as a badge of honor?

There are no tricks or traps, it’s all just basic trial and error. If you can’t handle that, then turn in your hardcore badge at the door and don’t forget to pick up your noob beanie on the way out.
