-->UK commercial for ''Super Mario All-Stars''

->''I cannot beat one game on my UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis machine. On my old {{UsefulNotes/Nintendo|EntertainmentSystem}}, I could beat a couple of them, but not Sega Genesis. It's impossible, and I refuse to upgrade to a faster, smarter machine because of it. I'm not blaming the machine, mind you. I don't get mad at it, or throw things at the TV when I get frustrated. But if I ever meet the guy who invented Sega Genesis, I'm going to beat the living shit out of him.''

->''"It's not the shittiest game in the world, although it is shittier than a Mormon prom. But what it ''is'' is the most nipple-twisting, nut-aching, hair-pulling, ulcer-causing, butt-itching, frustrating motherfucker of a game you ever saw... Now, I know some people will come forward and, like, tell you the ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'' games or, like, ''Ghosts 'n Goblins'', they're a real challenge. They don't know what they're talking about, because I fucking guarantee you that ''nobody'' has beaten ''The Adventures Of Bayou Billy'' fairly -- not without some kind of [[{{UsefulNotes/Emulation}} emulator]] or UsefulNotes/GameGenie or divine intervention."''

->''The legendary developers at Creator/{{Treasure}} invite all fans of the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis]] / Mega Drive to try this shooter! Test your skills against [[BossGame 25 challenging bosses]]. Just remember--[[TrialAndErrorGameplay you can learn new tactics from every defeat]]...''

->'''Anthony:''' I didn't even beat ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter''!\\

-->--{{UsefulNotes/Steam}} achievement for beating ''VideoGame/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures'' on "Normal" difficulty

->''[[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Getting away with murder should not be easy.]]''

->''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Final Fantasy 1]] was ''not'' an easy game. You can only save in inns or by buying houses, and by doing so didn't remove status effects like poison. Fallen allies can only be revived with the White Mage life spell, or by using heart shaped clinics, which were crossed shaped churches in the Japanese version. Enemies didn't drop items and some of the later game spells became insanely expensive. And then there were ineffective attacks, meaning if one of your party members killed an enemy before the others got a chance to take a shot at them, their moves, or even their magical charges, would be wasted. The monsters would also jump from being a walk in the park to a virtually impossible deathmatch at a moments notice, and Creator/{{Square|Enix}} would [[SequelDifficultyDrop tweak each upcoming sequel in an attempt to balance the overall difficulty level]]''.

->''"The idea of struggling against a game that does absolutely everything in its power to put you down, where every level completed is another tiny and insignificant victory against the malicious game designer, has some sort of weird appeal... A lot of die-hard retro gamers often pine for the days when games were a real challenge--VideoGame/TheTowerOfDruaga exemplifies this in spades. So, if you're sick of modern games holding your hand with ExpositionFairy endless tutorials, and want a genuine challenge that will almost certainly crush your enthusiasm for all forms of electronic entertainment, be my guest!"''
