beating Castlevani w/o dying = very impressive and amazing! I could get as far as Dracula, and never seemed to nail him without dying. I would get there with a triple potion knowing I would need it for Dracula's second form, but then would get nervous and not play Dracula's first form successfully.

Did you use the pause trick to beat that frog boss in Blaster Master? That was the only way I could beat that game.

Actually I much prefer using the triple boomerang as opposed to the holy water on Dracula, and the Grim Reaper as well for that matter (although beating him with holy water is easier).  The first form of Dracula is fairly straightforward with practice, and the second form just boomerang him in the face over and over.  It's pretty tough to beat some places all in a row without dying obviously, though, and it's easy to slip up on level four, Frankenstein, the Grim Reaper or the clock tower.

I did not use the pause trick in Blaster Master.  I can't remember that much about it because I did it years ago and haven't picked up the game since.  The game is incredibly difficult, especially considering you have no save or password and it is a LONG game!
