If by "timers" you mean level time limits, those are very important for games to be fun. If there's no time limit then optimal play is almost always very slow and boring. The Megaman games are greatly harmed by lack of time limits.

This actually happens in some games.

The only case I can imagine for timers in Mega Man is making it impossible to grind enemies for powerups. But tweaking drops would eliminate that without the all the drawbacks timers have. If you take too long to complete levels in Mega Man, it's not the game that has a problem.

I have a big problem with games where, when you lose all your lives, you have to start the entire game all over again. Often when you reach a new area in a game, there are a lot of new elements and things you have to learn about the level. A lot of times, it's hard to beat a level the first few times through. So having to play the whole game over is a pain in the ass.

Oh man, Alien Soldier.

The only difference is on superhard, you have limited continues and no passwords. Other than that, enemies, bosses, etc. are all exactly the same.

Someone should make an RPG with stealth segments, where if one of your characters has an all-caps name, it automatically wakes up monsters when their name is spoken.

Fuck that bullshit. After playing pokemon blue I could never touch most other JRPGs. I want the over-world to be seamlessly connected with no transitions in between. Why could a handheld game get it right but so many SNES and PS1 games couldn't?

Just force anon everyone if you can't ignore it otherwise. It makes dealing with special snowflake attention seeking tripfags easier AND it cuts down this kind of thread derailing.

Okay, one thing that squids me off about retro games is how little memory there is on a cartridge saveram.

I hated SS so much because of that shit. It just never stops. Even in the final dungeons every few seconds you get interrupted and told what to do. Jesus christ Nintendo, It's not gonna kill me to let me figure out that sliding block puzzle by myself.

not caring about points is common nowadays, but when the scoring system is balanced, score can be a way to challenge yourself to get better at the game, or to challenge the score of others. (And it pushes you to make riskier moves just for the points).

That's one reason I love Mortal Kombat. Say what you will about it's legitimacy as a competitive fighter, but they know fanservice. MK Trilogy and MK Armaggeddon may not be the most balanced entries, but goddamn could they be fun.
