When players look back on the platformers of yore, it's easy to forget one important thing about them: They're tough. Modern platformers allow infinite retries and plentiful checkpoints, but old-school platformers, like Disney'sCastle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (http://joystiq.com/game/castle-of-illusion), required precise jumps over one-hit enemies and sent you back to the beginning of a level, or even the game itself, when all your lives were lost.
Sega has preserved that difficulty in the remastered version of the game, as seen on the floor of E3 2013 last week. Sega Studios Australia has teamed up with the original game's creator, Emiko Yamamoto (who still works for Disney in Japan), to recreate the game in 3D and add new elements.
