+qsqua Yeah, it was a difficult game for sure. The old games where alot more difficult back in the day. Nowadays the Dark Souls series is considered difficult, just compare that to the games of old like Rush n Attack, Punch Out and so on.

An amazing thing: I used to play this game obsessively, completing it numerous times, around 25 years ago. Since then I haven't touched it once. Until last week. Lo and behold, every pixel of it is still intact in my muscle memory. I don't even have to think to finish it.

I remember when I used to play this game when I was 4. I never made it past this 7:00 jump because I didn't know that we could hold on to ledges. If I did I would probably have cleared it. But the fact that I cleared almost 2 levels of this game at that age still fascinates me. Good ol' days!

What an archaic masterpiece, the game is definitely one of the best games of all time, still the sword plays, with all simplicity, is more satisfying and exhaustive than most of the current sword and gunplay, the ability you can parry your opponents and the presence of your deceitful should make this that full-bodied that even I sometime play this game and spend 30 minutes of my precious time to defeat Jaffar and save Sultan's daughter. A very huge thanks to Jordan Mechner and those who care about Persian rich culture and religion!

Terka Kodetová From what I remember, you had to stab with the sword AND advance at the same time. The skeleton doesn't suffer loss of life when cut by a sword, but it does retreat. By advancing yourself, you force it to change sides. It's automatic. Once its back is to the falling tile direction, you can stab it and advance each time the skeleton retreats. (In other words, stab, and only when it falls back, step forward. Repeat.) Edit: Oh, I think you had to block-stab-forward (up key), in that quick sequence, to prevent the skeleton from just retreating, and force it to change sides. At 20:20, I think you could tiptoe across the room, so the guard doesn't realize you come up behind him.
