(i played this on an emulator, teehee)

honestly i can't shit on this game too hard? because it's nintendo's first attempt at a strategy RPG on the NES, you honestly cannot be too critical without tearing it up inside out.

and honestly? it isn't horrible, necessarily--but it suffers from the fact that everything is so damn SLOW. inventory management, general game speed, chapters being slogs by virtue of them being too big or having too many enemies, frequently both at the same time.

granted it was their first attempt. if you want to play this game, i highly recommend the DS port as it's generally just a better time.
