after running some errands and taking a nap

I proceed and I actually got stuck on level 8. I dunno, I beat it on my first try last time. What happened here?

I spend an hour on it before I won

I lost some power ups, and all of my rifles

I guess I should elaborate on that

There are 4 power ups

Bullets, Boots, Rifles, and horses

the first 3 you can stack up to 5 times. Bullets give you more rapid fire, boots make you faster, rifles extend the reach of your bullets, and horses not only increase your speed even further, but you GET HIT POINTS WITH IT! I think about 3.

I don't remember if the stacking thing was in the NES version so thats why i'm explaining it

anyways, every time you die, you lose one of each power up. as long as you can reach some barrels and replenish them, its okay. You're back to where you were. the only downside is if you didn't die, you could've increased your stock, but since you died, you lose one of each and the items are just evening them out, ya know?

but if you die before you do that, then you just lose AGAIN.

so if I have 3 of each, die, then have 2, the worst is when you die again before you get 3 one more.

so then you just have 1.of each

playing each level for so long you're bound to slip up earlier than usual and this happens. more than once

I had 3 rifles on this stage but now I just have the one from before the boss fight

and now I'm heading to level 9. THere are no power ups from the last checkpoint to the final boss. i was hoping to have max items on this guy

I'm probably gonna keep losing until I have nothing again. and I'm gonna go into the last level barehanded
