Like in the prehistoric stage (slash's) if you do the final blow so that your opponents head and torso are off the screen on the left side, a dinosaur comes and eats the fallen foe.

Hydlide to me was an incredibly hard game, but that was because controls sucked so bad.
Maybe my versions all have bumped up computer players. I've schooled every human opponent I've fought. But I'm lucky if I can get two-thirds of the way through before I get beaten up badly. Thing is, I don't stick with it when I get beaten and redo the last two fights. I just turn it off and play something else. Also, I used to be able to get to the Champion easily, but he'd beat me in the end. Now I suck at it pretty darn badly.

However, the deaths are awesome. I actually think Slash's is one of the lamest; Blade and Xavier are my faves. Oh, and Trident's is cool as well.

I don't find much trouble with bullet hell shooters though. Probably being raised on R-Type and Metal Slug games has that effect. And I mean raised. The first console I ever had was a Master System, and the only game I can remember with any clarity is R-Type. I spent more time after school in the arcade playing Metal Slug than I spent on homework (Which means I spent about ten minutes, but you get my point.). So those tend not to be too terrible for me.
