It also seems that back then I could play a game, beat it, and still want to play it again the next week. Now if I beat a game once and even think about it again, it's a very lucky game.
It just seems like we have lost something in the transition from 8-bit.

I agree whole heartedly. The Adventures of Link kicks my ass, as does burgertime. Fortunatly I can still own at 1943.
Games now are way easier than they were before, but keep in mind, most games now are played with a goal in mind. You play till you beat the game, then maybe you play through once more. Used to be you'd play just to play, even if the game did have some sort of ending, it's not like there was some great story unfolding, case in point, every nintendo made NES game, or for that matter every nintendo made game period.
But there is that X factor of online gaming (or any multiplayer gaming for that matter) where the opponents are going to be much harder than any computer and the only real goal is to enjoy yourself. Even in an MMORPG where you're building up your character, you're mostly in it for the fun, however you may find that.
