That's because we don't have unlimited time to sit and replay the levels over and over and over again like we could when we were kids. ;_; Also then it was either memorize the levels to the point of being able to beat them blindfolded or sit around like a goon and wait 'til next week to rent a different game. I don't know if my skills have rotted away over the years, probably! I still can't beat Battletoads. Practically everything was hard on the NES because you were stuck with a few lives, a continue or two if you were lucky and away you went. Die on the last boss? Tough luck, back to the title screen with you! Man, I think Double Dragon 3 will forever haunt me with its whopping ONE LIFE NO CONTINUES thing. Now you can save your progress, and most games with lives are meaningless because they'll often have unlimited continues or.. you just reload your save.
Fun fact, I've been playing Chronos Twin on the DS over the past two months or so, it's one of the hardest platform games I think I've ever played. Oh my GOD it's hard. Even though it has a save function between each level, if you finish the last level with one bit of health left, you'll start the next level with that same amount of health. I might make a thread or something about it, the game really does need some word of mouth, the publisher sure as hell doesn't seem to give a shit about it existing!

That's about it.

Never heard of anyone doing that.
And for me, I'm much more better... however, I just don't have the time/patience.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
