When we look back at classic titles from the 8-bit era of gaming there are some people who can make the argument that videos games were more challenging back in the 80’s then they are today. There were so many titles like the Mega Man series, Super Mario Bros I-III, Contra, Ninja Gaiden and others that were addictive to play because they were simplistic games that were hard to beat.

In this day and age we have 3D RPG titles that we see on consoles such as the PS4 and the Xbox 360 that feel too much like real life simulation with the storylines being the main point of interest until the game is completed. Also, we have 3D shooter titles such as Bioshock, Halo and Portal where the story modes are generally easy to complete. It would seem like once players completed RPG’s or shooter titles that weren’t challenging those titles are instantly found in used game stores while NES and even SNES classics are harder to find in places like Game X Change.
