Those of a certain age may remember the fiendishly addictive late 80s game 'Stunt Car Racer' on the Amiga (And other platforms).
I must be of a certain age then, because I remember it well. I managed to beat the first set of tracks on the Amiga, it then repeats the same tracks but with blue colouring and a faster car. I found it impossible to progress from there, if you drove fast enough to beat your opponent you'd end up wrecking the car, and if you drove carefully to avoid damage you would always lose.
The game became even more fun when you had two Amigas, a null modem cable and a group of friends.
It reminds you how much more difficult games used to be. A game I really loved recently was the new Tomb Raider but it rarely presented more than a mild challenge even maximum difficulty. You'd have to work hard at being bad at Tomb Raider to get stuck and be unable to progress. I never was able to complete half the games I had as a kid LOL
btw The day before yesterday, I mentioned to a YouTuber I follow, who does retro 80s let's-plays that it would be cool if he did some Amiga ones. 24hrs later he'd done two videos taking in everything from Shufflepuck Cafe and Captain Planet to Batman and Robocop 2 (That's service for you!).
