Ninja Gaiden (NES) must have been the first game in history designed purely to piss off the gamer and encourage hostile rage and destruction!!! Who agrees!!!

Amusingly enough, it was a sales success back in the day. I guess we were all masochists in those days.
Also: Mandatory Penny Arcade reference.
(Although they may be talking about a later version of the game).

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

I think it was a sales success because no one could beat it so they didn't give it to friends or sell it or trade it in. People would have to buy the game new if they wanted it and spend the next 20 years trying to beat it lol

Once, I died and had to start over, that was a wrap for me. I never looked back. IMO, They are the ones that made 'checkpoints and save points' such the beloved feature we have today.

I actually had the persistence and beat this (all 3 final boss forms) back in the day.
If you go to Kotaku, you can find the episode of Retro Game Master where he plays this. Absolutely classic.

Did video game trade ins even exist in the eighties?
It should be noted that many games of that era were way harder than modern games. Try comparing early Mario, Zelda (at least Zelda II), Metroid with current versions. When a game like Deus Ex: Human Revolution gets flak for having "really hard bosses" I think that yeah, maybe, I did reload quite a few times. That's bad now? They didn't hint that there were bosses, so fair enough to complain about that, but hard in general?

Video game stores did trade in's from almost the very start. A lot of my games where used games because it was cheaper.

im at 6-2 and have made it as far as the 4th upper area and im starting to get really really fed up with this game knowing that if I die at the boss when I get to the boss with out full life that I will start at 6-1 again. I feel so hopeless and my thumb is starting to hurt lol
