What Did We Play Yesterday?

I've been trying out a New To Me classic, Kid Icarus. I like this game, and I'm sorry I didn't discover it sooner! I would have dug this one back in the 80's. I went into it cold and the game doesn't tell you anything, so I dug up the manual which is very informative. The main character, Pit, must traverse Angel Land across four levels to obtain the three treasures, so he can help the goddess. The password stores strength, possessions, hearts, and points. I've mostly been bumbling around but now that I've read the manual I'll give it a proper try this weekend.
