It's amazing how much better you get at this.

I remember back on Christmas 2003 when opening up my gifts, I got Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Man, that game was great. But at the time, it was hard for me, as I was only 7. It literally took me weeks to get the 90 goals required to unlock the pro challenges. 
 
So, taking a trip down memory lane, I popped the game back in my PS2 last night and beat the whole game within three hours. I was very disappointed. I can't imagine paying 50$ for this. I feel bad for the older folks who already knew what they were doing. Going home, booting it up, and beat it all in one sitting. 
 
So I ask you, have you ever popped in an old game and whiz through the parts you found difficult as a kid? Share your thoughts.

I used a custom character in THPS4 that had the biggest breast size possible. Awesome.

I thought this was going to happen with Rayman. I'm finding it harder than ever before. Damn, that game is hard.

Rayman is one hell of a hard game. I can't even do it these days, but if remember correctly it wasn't too hard for me when I was a little kid.

Although I'm Swedish/American I lived in Saudi Arabia during my early years (my father got work there). Most of the old PS1 games I played as a kid were pirated copies that you could get in the sketchy videogames shop for virtually nothing. They only worked on my chipped Playstation 1 though, and when I moved back to Sweden and the other newer consoles came out I sold my PS1. The pirated copies do not work with my backwards-compatible PS3, so I can't play any of my favorite PS1 games apart from the downloadable Crash Bandicoot games. ;<
 
I do remember one game that I just couldn't get through, but I can't remember the name of it...

Remember playing monkey island not really being that fluent in English or in puzzle solving first time around (Kinda young at the time). 
Playing the updated one I plowed through it in one sitting.

I actually did it with Tony Hawks 3.  Agent Under Fire is also pretty easy when you're not eight.

I remember playing Ace Combat 2 when I was like 6 or 7 and spending hours and hours on the game. I popped it in for nostalgia's sake a few months ago and beat it in about 4 hours - _-
