an interesting little game and the first of a long running series. I enjoyed it quite a lot as it demonstrated some exemplary game design practices for such an early release in the medium. Its very much a game that was designed to be finished which can sometimes be a rare thing on the NES/FC. My only real gripe aside from the inventory system and slow combat animations is that this game is actually too easy at points. I would've liked a higher difficulty for fans of strategy games like myself.
