Yours truly's trying to rack up 7700 gold for the Magic Armor and get to a higher level without dying.
I would actually advise against getting the magic armor, as it doesn't increase your actual defense at all. It makes you gain HP at a slow rate by walking around (You get a better version of this later on). You're going to want to put it towards the 9000 or so gold needed to get the flame sword in the farthest village. On top of that, you have the 14,000 some gold needed for the silver shield.

I remember buying the magic armor, and when I realized what it did I promptly said screw it and reloaded my save.
Actually, I'm thinking about giving up on the NES version and try to get the GBC port/ compilation. But with the PSP's successor coming soon, I may just get the Vita and use my PSP for homebrew. Then forget about splurging on a used cart for about $20.

That's probably a good call, I've heard that the game's pacing is much better in that version. At least it couldn't be much worse.

Couldn't refuel in Top Gun.

I have no qualms in saying I think Top Gun is a decent game.

Plus I can use my DW1 cart to make a repro cart.

Fell to my death and stood too close to a VTOL when it blew up. (Saints Row 4)

Not having any rings on hand and falling to my death a few times (I think I can blame the crap camera controls and numerous shitass programming problems, both of which Sega apparently was too good or too brainless to fix). (Sonic Adventure [XBLA port])
