I've spent the past week and a bit replaying N64 games. Banjo Tooie and DK64 were both as hard as I remembered them being. But Diddy Kong Racing and Pokemon Puzzle League were fucking ridiculously easy. I still haven't finished Grunty Industries.
>ITT: kid's vidya that is just as hard as an adult than it was when you were a kid

Shit's hits the fan once you do the silver coin challenges and the boss revenges.

>> No.1560763

No, that was actually straightforward as.
I only had to do one silver coin challenge more than once, fucking windmill plains

That fucking dragon made me quit Diddy Kong Racing for a few years because one day he wrecked me like a dozen times. I was so upset I told myself I'd never play this game ever.
Then one day I picked it up again and went through it like a breeze.
Then the second mode happened.

I mean, the 2nd race took me a month when I was 7-ish, but jeez

Once you know to let off the gas when going through boosts, DKR gets a lot easier.

The Goron Race took me 6 years to beat. I think in the end I won because I had tons more patience than I did aged 11.

Yeah fuck the octopus.
I spent two straight hours last week (two fucking hours, that's more than 100 replays) doing that course with Pipsy before going for a slightly faster but shittier handling character. Beat him on my first go.
Was a little upset.

I never had problems with the octopus, though I can see where you're coming from.

Wizpig running, though. Fuck that faggot, you basically HAVE to be either Pipsy or Tiptup to win.

You want to know what's worse than that? When said game is a fucking edutainment game.

God damn Math Blasters and the fucking caves. How the fuck did I understand it when I was 5 goddamn years old, but fuck up now that I'm an adult?

>> No.1561384

I can easily still play sm64 BT conkers and the like, but DK64 is a scourge. I really cannot fucking believe how bad the game feels after having virtually mastered it as a child

I couldn't even get to jungle japes before I said fuck it

>boot up games that I found moderately challenging when I was a kid, like Super Star Wars and DKC

I don't know that feel at all, OP. I'm way better at video games as an adult.

I used to play shit like Super Solvers games, Treasure Mathstorm, Gizmo's and Gadgets and shit. If you go back they are fucking easy as shit.

This. My child (and adult) self chucked many-a controller at the wall trying to do this. The AI is insanely good.
