I felt that way about the Castlevania games from the 80s, early 90s. They used to torment me when I was little, brutal difficulty curve. But for whatever reason, one summer two years ago I dusted off the old NES and SNES and tore through ALL of them. Aside from having to check the internet for a little help with Simons Quest (WTF, kneel randomly at a lake for a tornado to come and take you away!?), I crushed all of them. it was incredibly satisfying, like tying up a loose end from my childhood
