Now here's a game I have a lot of history with. I couldn't have been any older then 8 years old when I saw a guide and maps to to start you off in Nintendo Power, and I don't think I poured over any magazine page as much as this. And by my next birthday, my parents came through and I had a new game to play. I absolutely loved every moment of my adventures. So when I found out that getting the 2014 remake at launch included this version as a bonus, I was definitely interested in giving it a shot. After all, this is where the NES version got all its awesomeness!
And while that may be true, it did not come without some very rough edges the NES version spared me of back in the day.
