I've beaten a lot of those games that you have listed. Took me many hours and many days/weeks to do that (with most of them). It was just a different time, everything didn't happen in an INSTANCE...like it does now. You had to figure things out too, no gamefaqs.com back then. Talking to friends at school was how you got your info. You could call that hotline and such, but that cost money.
The arcade conversion/quarter cruncher theory definitely plays into it as well. The majority of arcade games are made to not be completed in one quarter...that's for damn sure!

if you've never played Zelda, there's no fricking way you beat that game without it or without looking for answers online. I mean I guess I could, but it wouldn't be enjoyable.

Man, video games were great before we had this stuff.
Oh you are stuck? frick you, figure it out.
Can't figure out how to beat the mini boss in world 3? frick you.
Now a little hand guides you along most of the time.
