Games have a whole different mentality these days. It's not a question of if you can beat them, it's just a matter of whether you have enough time to invest to get to the end. I can't tell you how many 8- and 16-bit console games I've gone back and played, only to realize that, as a kid, I never made it past the first 2-3 levels. Heck, it took me 20 years to beat Mega Man. I don't know that it's inherently better or worse, but being good at a game definitely meant more back in the day.
