having tried a few versions, including the one in the first falcom collection on the saturn, i have to admit that i can't really get into it due to its archaic controls and direction. pretty much every idea here is revised and improved upon in ys 3. still, i appreciate the legacy and the music is great, so if you're like me i'd recommend at least checking out perhaps the pc-98 version on youtube. and then go play faxanadu and xanadu next.
