Both Ninja Gaiden and Legend of Kage were way too difficult for my pudgy little fingers. Ninja Crusaders (http://illogicalcontraption.blogspot.com/2009/01/zombie-cyborg-hitler-my-top-5-favorite.html) was the jam because it combined evil robots, ninjas, and simplistic, Contra-esque run-to-the-right-and-kill gameplay. My NES system doesn't work so well, but if we all chip and and find a new one I have copies of all 3 of these games. Just sayin'.
See, I sucked at Ninja Gaiden until I was like 18 and my girlfriend got a fake ID...I think the alcohol-induced zen state is the key to winning. I've never beat this game sober.
I call bullshit on that video demo above. How does he beat all the bosses so quickly? Gotta be Game Genie.
You know what dude? I thought the exact same thing. But then I played the first level on the emulator, and if you bring that spinning attack weapon to the boss, like he does in the demo, you can kill it with one jump. Not sure about the rest of them, though. Could he really just be that good...?
