...how long ago was this? I think I have a CD around the house somewhere with a song called "Eggplant Wizard".

I'm in, but I'll be playing the FDS version. No best ending on that version, but I've always wanted to play it and this gives me a great excuse.

I haven't played this game in years, and if I remember correctly I was terrible at it. 

But still, I'm in!

@Shadow - I'm not sure that song ever made it to CD, but I have over 200 different cassette tapes with about 250-300 takes of it. The production value of Rich's favorite Eggplant Wizard songs are much better.

The two above don't sound familiar. It wouldn't surprise me if there were a ton of songs about the Eggplant Wizard - he's famous and all.

Count me in! I've never actually played all the way through the original. I own and have completed the Game Boy sequel, but have only beat the original using cheat codes. I need to play through the original without using passwords to bypass some spots.

I got started a little early and made it to 1-3. It's tough going with only the starting amount of life, and I haven't run into any refills, nor do I have enough hearts to buy any. Tough as nails, but I'll figure it out.

Yes, the challenge for everyone will be getting past the first set of vertical scrolling worlds (1-1 through 1-3). Like Duke said, you have limited life from the onset and very limited refills. Also, if you fall through the bottom of the screen on the vertical scrollers, you die.... I ask everyone to be patient with this game and look to find enemy patterns. Also, use the left/right screen exits to your advantage with these enemies. Even the smallest amount of life is crucial in the beginning. The game IMO gets easier as you power up and make it to a few of the horizontal areas. It's a game worth sticking with and completing and we have 4 weeks to do so.

Checkpoints will basically be divided into worlds. So for Week 1, we will do 1-1 through 1-4. Since there are only 3 worlds, and a short final level with boss battle, don't worry if you get a little behind.

And if all else fails you can just grind enemies on 1-1 to level up. I had to do this when I was playing the game for the first time.

Did that enough to level up life once and get the first arrow power up. Still tough since it only starts you out with one life square when you die.
