Try beating River Raid or Pitfall. Holy moly.

I actually found Pitfall to be a pretty easy game once you got used to the nuances. The game is to most of the Atari 2600 catalog as kid friendly games are compared to most of the other games made nowadays.

The Atari 2600 seriously had some good games. Now the focus of the games was VASTLY different from nowadays. Storyline is basically unheard of, if a game had a story, it was in the manual, or had to be guessed from very short, crude little scenes. Action was simple and usually focused on one style of gameplay throughout (multitiered gameplay didnt come until the NES days, the NES was king of this even compared to many current gen games). Games were basically made or broken off their core gameplay concepts, as games did not have enough substance to make flaws in core gameplay forgiveable as long as the music or story or length of gameplay or whatever was sufficient. When you had a game like Pitfall 2 or Tunnel Runner, it literally feels YEARS ahead of other games on the console, whereas graphics and technology nowadays between games are hardly impressive anymore. Even most of the weakest games graphically these days on 360 or PS3 are pleasing to the eyes, so it makes the achievements of graphics in a game like Killzone 2 that much less impressive.

I think the first Turtles game as well as Kid Icarus were two of the hardest games I ever played.
