Hatris as a palate cleanser sounds like a plan! Have you ever managed to make all the heads on a given stage bald, or is that impossible?
Slowly getting through Cross Wiber. The infinite continues REALLY help!
I'm DONE playing fair! The f@#$@#%#@%#$% KNOCKBACK!!!
Couple this with the difficulty in stage 10 and 12 to get powered up, and I'm DONE!
I still kind of like it, but this is just too much! So, yeah, cheats ahoy and . . . DONE!

NRA (Naniyue's RPG Adventures!) - Cadash
I like the gameplay of this version better than the arcade! Combine this with save states, not to cheat, but to save your progress, and you have a nice little action RPG! I beat it once years ago hardcore style as the priestess. Now, I'm trying as the fighter.
NRA - Tengai Makyou, Part Whatever!
Still slowly getting through this one. It IS well done, but I can only do so much at a go. I'll let you know once I've been through a more significant amount of the game. I'd estimate I'm only a tenth of the way at best, having defeated Tamamohime.
Cadash part 2
I really like the colors in this one! They really show off that gem-like quality I've come to enjoy in some 16-bit games.
Finished the game with the fighter. It's fairly easy, though I did face a couple of tough spots, especially these two jumps near the end. Not the jumps themselves, but the enemies almost right where I needed to land.
Not much of an ending, but the ease of play still made it a fun run.
Cadash, part 3
SHOCK!! GASP!! I'm playing a Genesis game! How DARE I do that!
I wanted to see the differences. The genesis version is closer graphically and sound wise to the arcade, even in difficulty, so it's a shame it only has two characters.
Of course, nowadays, you can play any version. I went through the arcade one with the priestess years ago, but used the infinite time cheat to make it more of a console experience.
Anyway, fun stuff! I'm considering playing through the Turbo one with the Ninja. I don't usually play magic users, so I'm in no rush to use the Wizard.

Cadash, part 4
Finished the Genesis version with the fighter. It IS harder than the Turbo version, but the colors are undeniably better on the TG. Surprise! Now playing as the wizard in the TG version.
I have now learned that NOT having exact arcade versions of classic games led to a lot of creativity and fun variations in game play. It's like being able to experience a game as an oil painting, then play it again as a watercolor, then again as markers and colored pencils, all with variations of stroke and technique. That's for graphics, sound, game play, everything! Exact arcade is a true blessing, but now I have ADDITIONAL fun!!!
Almost Cadashed out. About to beat the TG version with the ninja. Damn, the game is mighty short, once you know where to go! Of course, with arcade roots, I shouldn't be surprised.
Cadash, part 5
THERE! I went through the TG game hardcore style with all four classes, and the Genesis one with the fighter. Tried to take the ninja through the arcade, but messed up.
Graphically, I'd rank the arcade as the best, with the TG a close second, especially for the colors. Gameplay goes to the TG, but menu availability goes to the Genesis.
Hatris quickie!
SNEAKY!!!!!! Those crowns put out the fires!!!!
Hatris Quickie, again!
I can make it to Shop A0 level 7. Yeah, I know, I'm terrible.
