Inspired to record my grind by @SlipintoShadowsASMR's retro-style video where he records his CRT TV whilst playing on console. Great video:    • ASMR Gum Chewing Gameplay Ninja Gaide...  

Wherein I grind out some classic Ninja Gaiden on the NES (emulated) for some intense keyboard sounds. I just started learning the game, and am pb'ing at 3-2. I need to learn the boss and I'll be on to Act IV soon enough.

If you don't know about the game - it's a notoriously difficult entry on the NES (which hosts arcade-difficulty games), and inspired the I Wanna Be The Guy/XXX series. I've beaten IWBTG and I Wanna be the Boshy multiple times, so it's time to tackle the fountain.

I own a NES (somewhere), but don't own this cartidge. I bought mine in middle school in the mid-2000s... real retro lover through and through.
