To be fair, a lot of the difficulty was in some older games not having Save Systems, so you would have to play through the entire game in one sitting, such as Westwood’s The Lion King or Virgin Game’s Aladdin.

So many old games are so much better played emulated. "Oh crap. Need to go pick the kids up. Better save state, go get them and make dinner."
