My two:

Very cliché, I played Ocarina of Time a ton as a child, have memories of playing it both on N64 as a wee child and on game cube as a less small child. Never got past water temple even with the game guide.

Yu-Gi-Oh forbidden memories. Played the crap out of that game on play station, constantly playing on free play praying for the cards I would need to get further. I was never able to beat more than 1-2 of the high mages. Watching speed runs on the game it turns out I was never ever going to beat that game as a kid. The final 6 are just disgustingly brutal.

Oh I didn't play that until i was an adult, but that sounds like a nightmare as a kid without guides...

You mean 10 year old you wasn't able to tell when the solution to a puzzle was to do the puzzle wrong, get some information/piece of gear, then go back in time and do it properly with the new resources?

Or be able to tell when the reason you couldn't make progress was because you were supposed to show up on day 1 at noon, not day 2? Or because to be able to do a quest on day 3, you needed to do something on day 1?

Like it's a wonderful wonderful time travel game. Without a guide I don't understand how far anyone could have gotten.

I had no guides, but was about 14. A lot of trial and error

[-] ericbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh man I bet! Especially for the ones that had to be done on day 3 with no speed up mechanic.
