That's the curse of JSW II matey happened in the original, bit of a
bastard got me many many times when I was younger "The Forgotten
Abbey", "Entrance to the Sewers", and "Nasties" in my eyes are the main
offenders for doing this (Although "The Library" and funnily enough the
bird in "potty Pot Plant" it only got me once but it took all my lives
the little bastard). There are 128k versions out there that give you a
few seconds invincibilty to get yourself out of the situation you're
in, but I don't know if editing the game does away with this patch (or
crack or whatever the people who put it there want to call it).
