Let me just say right out of the gate... This was a pain in the ass to do. I'm used to working with a "safety net", so this game was particularly merciless to me, since I had no safety net to fall back on if I screwed up really badly. Thus, I play it on Standard difficulty instead of Ultimate AND I show my deaths.

That said, same old story as always. Demon realm steals the princess, Arthur kicks the current leader's ass, saves the day. But there's a twist! Instead of going back to the start, Arthur must collect a couple handfuls of rings to access the final boss. So, THAT'S fun!
(Interesting fact: The enhanced version of this game, "Gokumakaimura Kai", does away with the rings entirely and instead forces you to play the game twice. However, it's all that much easier compared to the original version. I thought about playing that version, but ultimately decided against it. (No pun intended.))

JOSEPH'S MAKAIMURA MADNESS
Each Monday and Friday in October, I plan to release a new boss run video to YouTube relating to the Makaimura/Ghosts 'n Goblins series. Which games will I play? It should be fairly obvious, but if it's not, well... just tune in each Friday and Monday to find out!
This will also be the last set of Take On! anything that I release on this account. I plan to spend the rest of the year moving all my Take On! videos over to the new account (which I'll announce after everything's moved). Why the rest of the year? Combination of laziness and the fact YouTube is very strict about bulk uploads these days.
