Oh no! I'm replaying something I did god knows how long ago!

Yes, because I was never really happy with it. At the time I thought I did okay, but I shortly realised that I was playing like absolute shit, fumbling through bossfights and taking all sorts of shortcuts to avoid doing what I'm "supposed" to do when I record this sort of thing.

Alright, so that's not exactly crime of the fucking century, but it still makes me feel dirty and cheap. Not to mention, taking shortcuts where possible and STILL losing lives every few minutes?

"You cunt, play that game again and play it properly!", said nobody to me, ever.

So here's The Revenge Of Shinobi again, without any crap. Well that may not be strictly true, but there are certainly no deaths (no, not even on THAT jump), and nowhere near as many moments of ineptitude (don't worry, I'm leaving the original playthrough up so you can still laugh at that if you want).

Enough self-deprecation.

Round 1, the, erm... Ninja Garden? Bamboo Garden? Bamboo Forest? I forget. A wall and the mysterious* House of Confusion await, guarded by the mighty** samurai, Blue Lobster. Who goes a bit pink before exploding violently.

*Not particularly mysterious, because it's wide open and not at all confusing.
**Not very mighty at all. A bit shit, in fact. Even if I do clown around and almost get hacked in half. Oh dear, this doesn't bode well.
