      Other version is much easier than that. Can't say that makes the game easy, though.

    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!

      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.

    Awesome! How had I forgotten about this little gem.
    My grandparents had a caravan on the east coast of England in the 80s n 90s, and the camp shop had an added on arcade. I remember them having this arcade machine for one whole season and I played it every day we was there during the half terms and summer holiday.
    I probably enjoyed this as much as I did playing double dragon and golden axe.
    Wow! The memories.

    14:31 Ok, so basically in this part you have to outrun the bridge that crumbles behind you, at the same speed of Simon, while attacking enemies that come your way. If you get hit, you lose ground, but if you attack you also lose ground...
    You can say this is a test of parsimony where you have to spare your offense and may take some trial and error to get it right. But notice how this dude did almost everything right and still got away in thin ice, AND that this is an (originally) arcade game and I can deem this design as pure evil.

      @AB-wl5ny 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, if you get hit you don't lose ground but you will eventually run out of health, which can be replenished with quarters, i believe the main drive in designing this game was to take as many quarters as possible from the players, which made it an extremely unfair game.

    i beat this game, it's actually pretty fun just requires practice, good heart management, and the stopwatch. it's also critical to use your credits to go into "tank mode,' boosting your health way up. this is preferable to having the extra lives in stead. also, having extra hearts at the end of a level boosts your health.

      Like all arcade games it was, of course, designed to be extremely cheap to gobble as many quarters as possible. Most of these sort of games are more on the cheap side than on the challenge one.
