Another History Lesson I Probably Could Have Skipped
Like several of the games I've played recently on NES/SNES, I beat this, but using save states or in the came of this game, the port's pity mechanics, so I don't count it as a "true beat"

I wouldn't bother to beat a game like this in this day and age though. I read several forums saying this game could be skipped because it was too frustrating and for the first 20 minutes, I didn't understand. I thought it was so cool to see these mechanics on a game so old and I was pretty engaged, but after a while the old tiring NES stuff popped up and made it super tedious. Like backtracking to make the game longer, practically unavoidable hits but very little health, random bullshit there is no way to know without looking it up in a guide, enemies that move randomly, weird hit boxes, etc
This would have been so amazing if I had played this even 30 years ago and it was my only game for a few months. But there's no story to miss here, and while the history lesson is interesting, it doesn't need more than a half hour of your time in my opinion if you have other stuff waiting to play.
