My two:

Very cliché, I played Ocarina of Time a ton as a child, have memories of playing it both on N64 as a wee child and on game cube as a less small child. Never got past water temple even with the game guide.

Yu-Gi-Oh forbidden memories. Played the crap out of that game on play station, constantly playing on free play praying for the cards I would need to get further. I was never able to beat more than 1-2 of the high mages. Watching speed runs on the game it turns out I was never ever going to beat that game as a kid. The final 6 are just disgustingly brutal.

      haha, I remember bugging my parents to subscribe to Nintendo Power, because they had a giveaway where if you subbed for like 2-3 years, you got Dragon Warrior for FREE. Like, new in box…I actually had two!

        I guess that tells you everything you need to know about that game. They literally had to give it away. But I would have loved for a subscription to Nintendo Power.

      I remember DW being really hard when I was a kid on my NES but I played it emulated on my phone a couple of years ago and it wasn’t hard at all.
