interesting game! obviously rough without save states or a guide (though i really didn't need a guide until the end) but it's kinda wonderful? Something about the way it's put together makes it hold water better than you'd think.

i'm curious about the og version (the nes ver is a special edition with magic iirc?) but doubt i'll put in the effort to beat it again really. Glad I finished it though, another game for the "joe only likes early rpgs right now" brain worm collection
