I’ve been playing Mame for about two years now and the more games I play from my youth, the more I realize how brutally difficult they are and I’m just not having any fun anymore. Is this normal?

I mean, it takes me something like 30+ continues to complete a beat-em-up such as Final Fight, The Simpsons or TMNT 1 & 2. I know these games were made with the intent in taking our quarters as fast as possible, but most of them are unrealistic. I can barely get past the fourth or fifth opponent in 2D fighters like Mortal Kombat 2 or Killer Instinct and I’ve been playing games my entire life.
I don’t wanna lower each game’s difficulty setting as that would cheapen the experience for me. Does any of this make sense? Am I the only one finding every single different game I play to be brutally frustrating when just set to the “normal” difficulty setting?

I thought they make it difficult for people to play on purpose so they can make more money…
Yes arcade games are meant to be money makers.
Are you playing MAME on a PC, XBox, PSP, ect. If you are playing it on a pc, it is easer to play when you make the cabinet and controls to play like the real arcade game. Here are a few
You want a cheap arcade game, look back at Gauntlet. Not only are you ridiculously outnumbered, but you lose health each second!
