On the snes in '95 I did every level, found every secret. On the GBA I didn't get very far into the forest before giving it up utterly as a bad job. At the time I persuaded myself that it was because 'the screen is too small' and 'I don't have the patience', but I've gradually come to accept that an actual reduction in ability is in effect.
