Very few games find that special zone of easy enough to beat but challenging enough to keep your interest and difficult to master. Seems like a lot of new games hand hold you and lots of older ones are simply unbalanced and unfair.
Older. Not wiser.

That game caused some frustration in my youth, but for me it was mostly the underwater-pod level. That one drove me crazy - you had to go fast enough to finish before running out of air, but if you hit into the walls enough, the thing shatters and you die. You pretty much have to memorize the layout of the level to do it.

I'm sure I died a number of times on the final level, but I don't remember it being THAT bad. Maybe you're missing some things you're supposed to be swinging from?
No , I think you don't remember the last level well

True that.
I feel happy when I find a game with reasonable difficulty/fair . I just completed Secret of Mana and I feel that it fits that area , except for some idiotic stuff that was made as if to make the game longer on purpose, stuff that you won't figure out on your own probably.

Any one know how can I hack a rom to do so? If it works on homebrewes Wii even better.
Cheating again, are you? :lol:
