Games have definitely gotten a lot more hand-holdy and easier in general since we were kids. It's the reason that "actually difficult" has taken off as a genre because most games lack any source of challenge whatsoever. And that can be fine. Sometimes I enjoy my interactive movies where I can relax and turn off my brain...but sometimes I also want to be challenged.
