This game takes a lot of fuckin patience and memorization. Shit can kill you real quick. This guy makes it look easy, but that's literally how good to a certain degree you have to play these stages to beat the game.

[@JohnnyCasey]

According to emulator, there are two version of this. Version K and M I remember. One of them is extremely hard which is I guess what this guy was playing. One hit from skeleton can drain almost all your life bar. Other version is much easier than that. Can't say that makes the game easy, though.

[@Maytag99]

This game is actually very playable if you go into the dip-switches and turn the difficulty down to it's easiest settings. It's still difficult because you only have 4 lives to beat the game with, but it's doable. This guy is playing on the hardest settings where many enemies take away half your lifebar. On the easiest settings, everything only does 1 damage to you, so the traps aren't quite as big a deal. And this game is worth playing just for it's amazing music alone!

[@theusher2893]

Oh for sure. The music is fantastic!

[@cargorunner9960]

Playable compared to Ghosts n goblins maybe lol. I am playing this on the Anniversary collection on low damage and easy and I am being hit for 1 to 3 bars of damage each time. And if I die and continue there seems to be even more enemies making me die again pretty quick. The graphics and music are great but I can't seem to enjoy this one. I much prefer the console releases. This one feels too cheap and unfair especially when you see an amazing run like this with so few enemies on certain stretches.

[@darkerfalcon3747]

Literally. The difficulty doesn't matter. The game have a lot of versions. 2 JP (N and P) and 2 US (M and K) (That one unfair: M) and One EU (E). In few words: The US M version is the one that every enemy and boss take away half your life bar and The US K version is the one that every enemy does one damage to you (like JP and EU versions). For more details check my comment that i explained the version differences and the health increase trick. P.S.: The difficulty doesn't matter.
