An utterly dull adventure game that has the thinnest of resemblances to games that would follow.

I played this so young, but it has always been in my head because it was so intriguing then even before I could read. I guess this is where my enjoyment of Metroidvania games came from originally.

This took me forever to complete, but I loved it so much!
