THis is super true! This is exactly the problem my nephew has. I play games like SuperPRobotector (ContraIII) and MegaManX with him. But A) he gets frustrated extremly quick and B) I dont understand why he doesnt use his brain. He is buttonmashing (he even says that is what he enjoys and how he wants to play a game) doesnt think ahead and falls for the same traps/enemies all the time. My niece on the other hand is pretty good at games even thought she is like 5 years younger. But she also writes only A grades at school so... there seems to be a connection with the IQ. I feel like her brain aged much faster than the brain of my nephew.

Aaaanyway, one more thing. The beauty of retro games is also they are easier to decipher. Like it's is easier to understand the AI, hit boxes, the number of frames of an animation and often even how the game is coded. I am saying that as a game dev. Once I got into developing my own games, I started to understand what lines of codes make what happen. Before I had no clue how games work. Maybe that helps.

If you want to get into retro gaming, hard isn't the trademark you should be looking for. You should look for good games:
FF6
Actraiser1 and 2
ContraIII/SuperProbotector (still excellent, play on hard!)
Super GhostnGhouls
Super Mario World (not sure if you like it as much as if you would have grown up with it)
Axelay
Sexy Parodius
Gokkyu Parodius
Panzer Dragoon 1 and 2 (use weapon cheat)
Power Stone 1 and 2
D2
Super Metroid
ZeldaIII or Ocarina of Time
Nights (short but fun)
Silent Hill2 (on PS2 or with fixes on PC)
... and more

Many games are less fun on too easy modes. Setting lifes and continues to max is fine.

Also what's your focus of a good game? For example for me its sexappeal. As long as a game has sexy ladies it's enjoyable to me, so it makes it easier to find enjoyable games for me.

Has one of the best AI systems and the whole cute and interesting game is based around it. Not a bullshit sim like Sims. Its a real game. This is what modern gaming is lacking.

Before confusing sets in: I am referring to Parasite Eve, not Alone in the Dark in my criticism

Also Illbleed is less of an RE clone as PE

I love this game
