That sounds like a bad design choice, losing HP when you attack.
Imagine if that was in a beat em up.
I love videogames especially old school games. I've played almost every classic and I love making parody's of it in sprite animations. If you do not like Sprite animations please go watch actual drawings on another place or at least give it a chance.

It kinda pisses me off because I found a written Let's Play of the game, and the OP seems to get through it easily.
Unless he just neglected to mention all the dying, and/or used a walkthrough.

Really, I bet that there's an item somewhere in the game that stops your HP from depleting.
And you can only find it after you've beaten the game or some cheap crap.
