YMMV / Magician Lord

• Breather Boss: The hellhound at the end of stage four, scary as it may be, is definitely the easiest boss in the game.
• Goddamned Bats: Basically every flying enemy is one!
• Good Bad Bugs: A multi-jump exploit allows you to bypass significant portions of the game.
• Nightmare Fuel: The entire "Highway Leading to a Foreign Space" and the Hellhound boss stand out as the most disturbing parts of the game.
• Nintendo Hard: Ridiculously so. The home/AES version made the game even harder by respawning you at designated checkpoints, rather than the place where you died like the arcade/MVS version.
