AYY! Last night I got around to beating Ninja Gaiden on the NES. It wasn't easy, and I resorted to being a dirty savestate user to get through the last few levels, but maybe one day I'll be able to run it like the pros. As incredibly frustrating as the game is, there's something satisfying about the way the ninja controls, and the way that all the enemies (except for bosses) are single-hit kills. #RetroGaming #NES #Nintendo #NinjaGaiden

i like when "brutally challenging" = replayability, and i think savestates help us not go crazy in the process of challenging ourselves, haha.
There is definitely a fine line between "challenging" and "frustrating".
