- probably_wrong 4y agoI believe the difficulty has more to do with what the market looked like. Once you bought a game, it would have to last you a long time - even if there were other games around, you could only afford so many before your allowance ran out.

- Natsu 4y agoYeah, but they got steadily easier as time progressed. I remember when people started complaining that games were "too easy" after that, because RPGs went from games like Ultima or Wizardry where you might have to keep your own detailed maps and notes, to having the game do almost all of that for you, giving you waypoints, quest journals, etc.
