There are a number of NES and SNES games that I played extensively as a child, but hadn't touched in years. When I went back and replayed them, I was generally nowhere near as good as I used to be. Tricks I used to pull off effortlessly were now beyond my skill level. I also lacked the motivation to replay the same level over and over or to explore as fully as I used to. But, going to some of the tougher levels, I could handle them better with less practice than I needed when I was younger. So some aspects of my game skills are better as an adult than they were in my childhood and teenage years, even out of practice.

Yeah, most games these days aren't all that interesting.
Besides, our ability to believe in ourselves diminishes with the more "education" we develop, at least government-sanctioned "education".
