Hi Bryan, Yikes! Battle Toads was one very very hard game. I never got the hang of playing that game when I could see let alone play it blind. However, you are right.
The standards in difficulty for mainstream games are often far higher than any accessible game. The people who make an issue about Shades of Doom, Mysteries of the Ancients, Q9, etc being too hard is from people who have no experience with gaming. At least so little that they don't really have anything to compare it too. The sad thing is that if a developer such as myself created an accessible version of Battle Toads with the same game play and challenge it probably wouldn't sell. People would not like the difficulty involved in playing it, because it is too far beyond their experience level. Cheers! On 8/11/11, Bryan Peterson <bpeterson2...@cableone.net> wrote: > Exactly.
