It encumbers you a bit, but in an emergency, I would choose to use it rather than die. <br /><br />As far as those retro games, I know what you mean. Whatever magic resided in my hands when I was younger is gone, at least when playing these games, though it's fun to play them still!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317896544975091711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253169075025271186.post-34168245700909527412012-02-13T13:21:07.804-08:002012-02-13T13:21:07.804-08:00Thanks for the tip.

I find it tough getting to the end of the level with that weapon since you end up using all the charges and it's difficult not to pick up another weapon but will keep it in mind when I get back to the sequels. For the moment the original Castlevania is giving me hell!<br /><br />There's a few games I used to be able to beat easily when I was younger without getting hit, Contra Hard Corp, Ghouls n' Ghosts and Rocket Knight Adventures but when I go back to them now I've lost my touch :)Retr0gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690223519107108541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253169075025271186.post-75628298897575004592012-02-13T12:04:39.222-08:002012-02-13T12:04:39.222-08:00While I can't currently claim this level of ex...While I can't currently claim this level of expertise, would you believe that I was able at ten years old to defeat the entire game with a single life? I am fully bragging, but also want to share a huge tip for defeating any boss in the game, a trick that enabled me to perform this feat. Using the Jump & Slash Technique (generic name, yes, but the official one given in the game manual), one can easily defeat any boss in the game in one or two attacks. You can identify the item by its cyclonic icon. Try it. I hope this helps anyone having difficulty with the bosses. As far as the rest of the game, well, only some OCD and memorization of enemy attack patterns will help you there. Take care!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317896544975091711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253169075025271186.post-20593497269165660642012-01-21T10:52:15.794-08:002012-01-21T10:52:15.794-08:00What a classic, and tough as nails.

I also hear the master system version is fantastic and a standalone game rather than a port.Retr0gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690223519107108541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253169075025271186.post-49647638992577763492012-01-20T12:38:41.741-08:002012-01-20T12:38:41.741-08:00I read this line:

Thankfully your next statement set me straight. I actually found this game quite hard myself. Ninja Gaiden 2 I actually beat before going back and braving part 1 again. In my opinion, difficulty for those 3 NES games was:<br /><br />- Ninja Gaiden (hardest)<br />- Ninja Gaiden 3<br />- Ninja Gaiden 2(easiest, by quite a bit imo)<br /><br />I beat the first one and never played it again. I beat #3 a few times, and beat #2 at least a dozen or so times. Save states would have spared me so much lost sanity on that first title... lolChalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.com
