On camera pointed at TV: Dazzle, $50 at Best Buy.

gutsman's stage is easy, other than the yellow dudes with the shields.

[HelmerandRawlins]

I wish I had "save states" back when a single jump into the room from a younger brother would freeze the NES and waste hours of hard work.

Well done Phil.

[bellyofadolphin]

Well done on beating the level, no easy task! But hey, you did get hit like 7 or 8 times in the first level alone, which does prove the game is exceedingly hard.

[WhimsicalPhil]

Oh, I've never claimed to be able to beat the game without getting hit (although I do have a Famitsu DVD that shows some Japanese kid doing just that...using only the standard weapon, no less). The game is simple too darn tough for most people to do that.

I just wanted to prove that the "difficult" platforms can be easily navigated if you simply think about your actions instead of blindly jumping around.

[GameEnthus]

Hey Phil finish the whole game. You certainly seem quite intolerant of people expressing difficulty with this game. I finished it............with an emulator.

[IanMarcias]

hold on... someone was complaining that a retro game was hard... um... of course. Games were challenging back then. Games now-a-days are too easy. I missed the difficulty of games now. Back then it game me a reason to play over and over again. Current games I put the difficulty all the way up because games are not as challenging as it was before and people always want to just move on the to next game.

Phil is the kiiiiiiiing!

[thorbahn3]

You rule Phil!

[Heleos]

To people having trouble: I recommend picking up the Anniversary Collection, which allows you to save your progress.

I watched levityNYC's video, though, and I'm almost convinced he's doing a parody or something. No one could be that bad and blame the game for it.

[GamerBanana]

Nice response! So true. The game is beatable, and being hard doesn't make it a bad game.

But it looked like that other guy was getting hit on purpose some times...
