One bump of a thorn and the entire game had to be played from the beginning! And that path of thorns was so unforgiving, sooooo not-even-laid-out-fairly-or-intuitively to know which footstep might be your last. You can imagine, there might be a bit of tension in the room - 3 brothers huddled around the monitor - when it came time to walk the path of thorns, to try to reach Dracula's castle across the poisoned moat in KQ2. the game could only ever be tackled right from the start. we loved those games, but we had to try to finish them in one sitting. WE had 'unoriginal' copies, and SAVE - for whatever reason - never worked. I was born in 1978, and some of the earliest games we ever got were KQ1, and then 2.
