CD-i LIVES FOREVER

Man, what a gem. This is so fun. Taking NES-style non-scrolling Zelda and joining it with Bomberman-like puzzles is such a great idea, and it works really well here. Every screen is its own self-contained puzzle, with some really stellar puzzle design. The world design is smartly considered, with world navigation opening up via new skills in a very satisfying way.

This is a pretty short game you're encouraged to replay and speedrun. My first attempt took two hours, but I didn't find all the secret items. I'm planning to go back for another try soon.
