I've beaten CV1 without dying once, MAYBE twice. I can usually make it to Drac without dying most every try, but he WILL get me at least once. On the other hand, I have completed 3 full loops on CV the Adventure. Yeah...I know. It was the only gameboy CV game I had for a time as a kid, so, I got REALLY familiar with those horrible controls. I can still beat it in one life most every attempt.
