That easy mode is looking really good to me. My patience and reflexes aren't what they used to be.
If my old hands can do it (just turned 50), you can do it :-)
And mind you this was on Knight difficulty which IMO feels on par with Ghouls arcade on default settings.
That being said, if you're remotely familiar with side scroll action games but haven't played or beat past GnG games, I recommend
Squire difficulty (second from the bottom).
If you're an experienced GnG player who can consistently beat Super GnG or Ghouls, I recommend starting with
Knight difficulty.
Starting with
Legend difficulty is also okay in my books for highly experienced GnG players, but be prepared to die a lot. And I mean a lot. In my case, I decided to scale back and complete Knight difficulty first before tackling Legend.
Page difficulty, the absolute easiest difficulty of all, is practically a cheat mode since you have infinite lives, can withstand 4 hits before you die, less enemies on screen, and you respawn right on the spot even during boss battles. It's good for folks who aren't good with action games in general and wants to just get through levels quickly.
