Unavoidable traps can be frustrating, but they also add challenge and tension to the game. I understand they’re designed to test players’ awareness and skills. When used effectively, they enhance the experience, but excessive or unfair traps can detract from enjoyment.

Sometimes I do visualize old games with improved graphics, especially when recalling fond memories. It’s a natural tendency to imagine what they could look like with modern visuals, but I also appreciate their nostalgic charm just as they are.
