Either it's running too fast on my computer, or this game is nearly impossible. I have a feeling it's a little bit of both. For example, I have to save the game every time I'm about to approach an enemy, as it will invariably take half my life about 90% of the time, so I have to replay it over and over in order to have any chance of getting through a room.
