it's a hold over from arcade games where you'd get feel good about beating the first level and want to keep playing and putting in quarters.

Yeah it is pretty basic. Ninja Gaiden 1 is far easier though I reckon, it's pretty hard to even die in the first stage because there's no holes to fall in or anything like that and the enemies are so slow.

You gotta lure the player/buyer into thinking they can clear the game.

this is why ghosts and goblins is so based. fucking you right in the ass right out of the gate, no pussy tutorial level bullshit.

castlevania 1 is probably the best NES game of all time but compared to the average arcade game around the time it's actually a baby game for retards. again, I like it a lot though

only level 1 is. if you want to call the rest of the game mid or easy in the grand scheme fine but knockback pit deaths with no health refill on bosses isn't 'braindead' easy
