The enemies will also respawn if they go off screen, so sometimes you'll kill one enemy, and then another will knock you too far to the left, and the enemy you killed will still be reappear!
Welcome to the NES

Dark Sword of Chaos was the better game FWIW, but the original is a ton of fun too. You really just have to learn the enemy patterns and get used to attacking them before they get into their routines. It's a hard game, but pretty fair, at least compared to most things in the NES era.
I've logged a ton of hours of Ninja Gaiden on my Wii (I'm still not any better than I was when the game was new). I totally agree that it can get to be anoying, but it's a fun game to break out for a week or so every couple months.

Right now I'm playing Pokemon Daimond, and Medieval Total War II (currently working on the Americas campaign).

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

Re: What Video Game are you Currently Playing?

Portal should only be bought with the Orange box (for about 30 bucks you could have gotten HL2, HL2:EP1, HL2:EP2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal).

Now, for 20 bucks, you could get Plants vs. Zombies which is amazing.

Now through May 28th, the Louisville region is in desperate need of platelets - call the Red Cross if you are interested in donating!

Agreed on the Orange Box, but I already had all the other games. Oh well. It was pretty interesting.

I haven't been able to find a wireless connection that will let me hook into the Nintendo wireless. When I do though, I'll be sure to chime in at the Pokemon thread.

(I'm considering getting one of those Nintendo usb router things . . . .)

Re: What Video Game are you Currently Playing?

While fingering through games that I have, I came across the LotR War of the Ring, by Liquid Entertainment. Nothing too spectacular, but it's a fun little game.

If anyone has this game, and would like to play online, I'd be happy to play.

My collection: 4 RotV, 1 SotM, 2 BftU 1 Marvel, 1 TT, 1 VW, 2 TJ, 2 RttFF, 2 FotA, all expansions excluding exclusives, and every wave with almost x2 of all commons.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!! yeah its a short game but I bought orange box so I didnt feel too ripped off about it. I am currently playing through Tenchu Z, something about ninja games that get me. and Para, how dare you! donky kong over ninja Gaiden....... If you dont miss the birds like a true ninja then they cant hit you.
It's not just the birds. It's those stupid purple things that come up behind you, and those sword throwing ghosts that you almost have to get hit by unless you have ninja stars.

Idk, with Contra or Super C(ontra) I never felt cheated even without the Spread Gun. They were difficult, but they never seemed to screw you over.

Really? I never made it past the first level of Contra without the Konami Code.

I knew a guy in college who could beat the original Contra without getting hit. There are some crazy gaps in the boss patterns that an excellent player can use to never get hit with nothing but the jump button.

My cousin's husband is one of those NES-SNES Gods... On their wedding day I watched him play through the entire Ninja Turtles Arcade without losing a life. I've never seen him die in Contra or Castlevania. He was down for my sister's wedding and beat the original LoZ while I was at the rehearsal/dinner. Great stuff. It truly shows that back in those days video gaming was an art.

I've started on the really, really, really, really, really hard mode.
