Hello all, glad to finally join. While I've known about PS and even played it in the past, I think M2 did an amazing job with this port. I have opted for an old-school graph paper approach and as such my playtime is considerable! Nowhere near the end and 30+ hours in
I love this game, it really blows its competition at the time (Dragon Warrior, FF) out of the water in every way possible (technical, story-wise, graphically etc.). These dungeons are sprawling and you can get lost in them, the puzzles are very satisfying to solve and the monsters and battle backgrounds are vivid. I actually played through once with the automapping (an excellent feature) and FM sound, which I despised! It ruins the compositions in this game in my opinion. The variety of the three worlds in the Algol system is excellent.

I've decided to bring out my Mega Drive II to play the remaining games in the classic system, but the games do sell for a considerable amount - is the Mega Drive Mini a viable option? Regardless this game is severely overlooked and the very definition of being both timeless and ahead of its time.
