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...

... like Mega Man 1, actually.

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.

... where LJN is the only company still producing games.

Love you, Dagoss. Love you.

LJN died out painfully and slowly, so they got theirs.
