Great review! I realized that about the flea men the last time I played; I stopped trying to kill them and they would just jump over me. Then I'd walk away and eventually they'd be scrolled out of existence. I can make it to Death's Hallway pretty consistently (or at least, could the last time I played) but I've never beaten the Knights there. I think by that point my patience just runs out. Maybe if I could turn off the game and come back to that stage later, but doing it the old school way leaves me jittery by the time I get there. I just don't have the stamina. Hell, the Mega Man games have been hard enough! I can only imagine if you couldn't save anywhere in between the Robot Stages...

I know exactly what you're talking about! When I make it to that level and I still have holy water, I'm just thinking "don't die; don't die; don't die" and my hands are getting sweaty. If I get through that hallway ("don't die; don't die...") and get to death, I try to be cheap and use the holy water to "freeze" death in place. 70% of the time I fuck it up and die, then let loose a stream of profanity like the AVGN in an alternate reality where Ljn is the only company producing games.
