How Capcom got this game so right so early in the Gameboy's life is beyond me.

Aesthetically it's got beautiful sprites, a perfect horror atmosphere, and a wonderful soundtrack.

Mechanically it adapts very well to the Gameboys limitations by zooming in, slowing down, and adding a lot of verticality.

The story has good pacing, the RPG elements are fun, and the powerups are satisfying.

It's shorts it's sweet and it just executes everything so dang well. I can't get enough of this game.
