This was my favorite childhood game. I played it many times in the 1990s, and I even used my cassette deck to record music from the game onto tapes so that I could listen to it on my walkman. The story is simple but also has some feeling to it. There are bits that make me laugh out loud and feel sad.

This particular replay was the "Restored" version that can be found on romhacking.net, although the item descriptions never showed for me. It was nice to be able to move faster on the world map and in dungeons, and the reduced encounter rate was also nice. It had probably been 30 years since I played this, so I can't say how much different it is, but very enjoyable changes to what was a fairly easy game to start with.
