Yes you were supposed to beat it in one go, completing every level. The old games didn't put a cute little 100% on the screen but you didn't need it because you knew. Did you get all the warp whistles? Did you trigger the hidden mushroom houses and coin ships? No, of course not. You could feel Mario's disapproving gaze upon you. You both knew. You knew.

BexGu posted:There was also this thing, like a pre-internet thing, where you would talk with you friends at the school yard about all this secrets and tricks every one has found. Once some one's cool older brother figured out the double warp whistle trick the game could be beat in 30 mins. Yeah, the whole "I can't believe they expected you to beat this game without the internet" is just dumb angry reviewer crap. I never had a problem with Zelda 2 as a kid, despite how cryptic it is in parts, because I spent time with it, as did my friends, and we swapped secrets until we beat it and moved on.

No, there were a few games pretty much designed solely to sell Nintendo Power subscriptions.

quakster posted:bubble bobble was popular you absolute fucker bitch Well, if you're not talking chaos emerald kind of fetch quests I suppose ghosts n' goblins did that poo poo first and was way more popular. Both made you play the whole fucker twice and gently caress you if you didn't know what to do at the last boss.

getting chaos emeralds requires you to play objectively bad minigames. it's basically a retarted hitler made out of poo poo raping you to death repeatedly

I played through every single level on an emulator. It only took about 4 hours. I mapped the save state and load state buttons and constantly mashed them when things looked sketchy. Doing it that way made the game play almost like Braid. It was pretty cool.

op, people weren't so bothered about finishing games all the way through back in the day, it seems to be a pretty new thing with videogames. i went through it without warp whistles once it came out on all - stars, before that my neighbour and I used to rinse it with the whistles.

They only reason I cared about beating games was because my parents wouldn't buy me a new one unless I'd beaten the ones I had. There was nothing worse than spending the greater part of a day to get to the final boss, pausing to go get mom or dad to witness, and then losing.
