You've just got to do it over and over and over until you memorize the patterns. That's how we did it back in the day.

Disappearing platforms is fine.

Input lag is just a no, though. A platformer with input lag is a terrible game, period.

>platformers where you have to be on the very last pixel of a platform in order to have your jump clear what looks to be a very small gap

Dinosaurs for Hire not only has fall damage but fall damage instakills you.

Aren't these designed around that lag? Games like prince of persia are in their own genre, and I wouldn't group them with Super Mario Bros and the like.

>can't change direction in mid-air
After playing mario 3 at a young age as my first game I just can't handle any games that either have no control after you jump or very little control (i.e. Mario 1 and Ghost n Goblins)

Acceptable in modern games, garbage on the NES because they usually just blink out of existence with no warning because of the poor graphics.
