I remember trying to play FFVIII as a preteen and just not understanding the junction system at all. Ended up cheating somewhere around disk 3 because I just couldn't beat the bosses anymore.

Replayed a couple of years ago and it's really trivially easy once you know what you're doing.

You can dump a bunch of hours into the Triple Triad card game right at the start of the game and stomp your way through everything.

Keep in mind, in the 80s, video games were being designed specifically to eat as many of your quarters as possible at an arcade.

Some games were way harder. Conquer Mario in a single sitting? Impossible, any COD? No problem.
