I found it easier when I crossed my hands over so I could do the left/right keys with my left hand, as is the original Nintendo way. I'm glad there were only a few levels, as I really struggle to leave platform games half finished.

I've been a LoveFilm customer since 2004. I must have watched well over 1000 DVDs through them. Their DVD selection is indeed very good, and in general I'm fairly happy with them. My biggest gripe is the penny-pinching changes they recent
