I'm inclined to agree with you, but I always find myself surprised at what really skilled players can do, so I won't say so definitively. I mean, even on the friendliest of versions, it still comes down to luck - does lich favor group spells like blizzaga, or mostly single hit melee attacks? Sometimes, even on the friendliest versions, there's no way to avoid a cheap death. The original NES version didn't allow quick saves. While an ironclad gamer with an ass of steel and years of time to waste could still play the odds and keep retrying, that would totally suck on Earth Cave. Even on the DS and iPhone versions, I'm using every exploit and gimmick item there is, and resetting way more than I like. You're probably right.
