One of the first games I've ever played. Its honestly not as bad as some people say it is, but its not perfect. The game is pretty fun once you get around the grid based movement. The idea of having chapters, an RPG like overworld, and dungeon segments is really pulling alot for an NES title. One other thing one should note is this was done by the same team that brought us Punch Out. There's certain dungeons that will give you a hard time and make you pull your hair with how difficult and kaizo the traps are. Chapter 5 being notorious for kaizo like traps. But considering its supposed to be a booby trapped pirate cave, then its a bit understandable. Honestly, considering i've mastered this game, I forgot how hard chapter 5 is supposed to be until I saw a playthrough from a youtuber I watch. Overall, the game is pretty rough on the edges, but once you get around it, you have a fun little experimental game that Nintendo seems to have forgotten (ok not completely, since they still rereleased it on VC and Switch Online).
