The Legend of Kage 2[/b] - Beat on Normal as the female ninja. This is a pretty good game, which surprised me because I don't like the NES game that much. This one's a lot of fun, though. It has some quirks, like how you can often just run past the enemies -- indeed, any place where there isn't a wall stopping you until you kill the people on screen, it's often easier to just run past anyone you can't kill while moving -- but still, it's a quite fun game with good, simple controls and nice 2d visuals. This is definitely a good game worth playing. There's more to do in it, too. While the two characters are similar, they're not the same (some different weapons and moves), and there are three difficulty levels too, each harder one unlocked when you beat the game on the lower setting. So I've unlocked Hard now. I'll probably play it at least partway through, the game's fun.
Oh, and given that this game is absolutely full of blind jumps and that you can jump several screens high (though that the upper screen shows what's above you helps, it doesn't show everything you can reach with your jump), it's fantastic that this game has no pits of death. I think the original game did have them. I hate platformers where you have to jump into the unknown and can die in one hit on things you might land on, that's just not fair, or fun.
