Shadow is a Dancer

A week ago today I played Shadow Dancer with friends IRL. We got to the last boss but didn't beat it. I am not able to hang out with them this week, but I'll be with them "in spirit" by attempting to beat Shadow Dancer on my own. I owned and played this game decades ago and had it basically mastered then. All that muscle memory is gone, so today is just an old dude playing an old game... again. Though the Steam format of this game might allow save states, I'll try to beat it fairly without that advantage. If it takes several live streams and many hours, I might get frustrated and use a save state eventually.
