my brother and i use to do all kind of stuff with this game, of all of hundreds tapes we collected, this is the game we play countlessly, change dozens controller, machine through it.. its the best of the best. we play duet together with: single hp; with only lv1 sword, lv1 kusarigama or either both; with only bombs, only shurikens lv1 or lv2,lv3 (avoid all enemy to saved much of it for bosses and garuda - its madness when you released all of it at once.. especially shurikens lv3 and bombs - really madness - i remembered the number of shuriken when crazy when we saved it beyond 99, the game become lagging, malfunction and stop when we both released it, lol ); with only one person attack the other just follow; ...etc .. really weird, madness way we try to beat over and over with the game, found many many stuff, hidden, glitch,... now, its all just gone to memories with him, hope up there he still can play it and.. still waiting for the right one on the secondary controller...
