You get hit once, and the short recovery windows allow the hordes of enemies juggle you until you die or fall into a pit. Did people regularly beat games like this back them or was it a rarity?

It's funny how this game is only hard on your first playthrough, after you beat it once it becomes a walk in the park.
>>727703570>he didn't treat it as a strategic encounterIt wasn't unusual for kids to get stuck in games and never be able to complete them. People had a different attitude towards difficulty at the time, and generally didn't start crying about "bad game design" and "artificial difficulty" if they sucked.
>>727703570>You get hit once, and the short recovery windows allow the hordes...So don't get hit?
Yes. You play over and over until you memorize the entire game and can predict everything. Thats how you beat games back then.

>>727703570NG1 is fun but also very rough in a lot of places. Try NG2, it's more forgiving, even if some stage mecahnics are more of a pain in the ass
>>727703570>enemies respawn out of nowhereSuch fucking bullshit.
