Gemfire does, indeed, rock hard. You are a wise man.
I remember never being able to beat Ninja Gaiden 3, on the nes, BECAUSE YOU DIE IN FOUR HITS. And level 3 was a very unfriendly place for such a fragile Ryu Hayabusa. Making it to the fourth stage took the entire extent on my abilities and then some.
But I was able to beat the first two Ninja Gaidens, eventually. And on the snes compilation, I had my way with 3 since they fixed the bogus damage. BUT EVERYDAY I WAKE UP AND MY FIRST THOUGHT IS I WASN'T ABLE TO BEAT THE NES NINJA GAIDEN 3. IT EATS AT ME IT WILL HAUNT ME UNTIL THE END OF MY DAYS
