This game is clearly my favorite of any NES Game out there, or any game ever made period, for that matter. thje games graphics and colrs are top-notch, especially when you consider all the different rooms and monsters. there are 250+ rooms, and their ALL different, not a side-scroller that often has repetitive, identical rooms. the music is great, it matches the pure feel of mythology and grim in the game. as for gameplay, sure the game is tough, but it's great fun- the enormity of the maze and rooms give variety and enjoyment as each one is new in design and challenge, and is not at all repetitively boring. the weak points in the game I think are the story line a princess who needs to saved byy a hero first needs to find a staff, is lacking, and the controls- thy are kind of hard to figure out, and sometimes the isometric view in the games confuses where your jumps will end up. still, any good gamer will tell you that the challenges that seem to make this game hard and frustrating is also what makes it enjoyable. what true gamer doesn't enjoy a good challenge? 9 outof 10 stars here. one final thing- has anyone scored 100% when finishing this game? I've heard rumors of a secret ending, maybe even a 2nd quest if you do.... please respond in detail if you have.
