http://www.avclub.com/article/what-was-it-be-nintendo-game-play-counselor-224289 There's a cool interview with a couple of former Nintendo Help Line game counselors. Pretty cool look into what it was like for them.

Super Ninja Fish posted:From Volgarr the Viking's kickstarter page. Yeah, NES games obscured their limited content behind a wall of inflated difficulty. Modern games pad their length by adding collectibles and achievements. I was 12 when Ocarina of Time came out, and I played the crap out of it. I remember looking down my nose at the kids who bought the strategy guide/walkthrough, thinking they were missing out on the experience by not spending 5 hours figuring out the stupid Water Temple. Now I'm an adult and when I'm stuck on a video game for more than 2 minutes I go pull up a guide online because I don't have time for that anymore. I'm not going to backtrack through the sewer level looking for a door, because it's not fun or rewarding. And in the NES era, "rewarding a player for skill" was little more than rote memorization. There was no depth to decision making.
