Repetition is how I've gotten better over the years when it comes to playing difficult games. Just a few weekends ago I made it farther than I ever had in The Revenge of Shinobi. I would often give up when I couldn't make it past the first half of the second stage. This time I decided to push through and keep trying, and eventually I finally beat that dang level! I made it to stage 4 but the boss annoyed me and I was getting hungry so I stopped playing. I would try and rush through the game too, and I would often miss a jump or get killed by a enemy and I think this is another reason why I never made it far in the game growing up.
