This game was made in a time when Passwords were a dying trend, and Battery saves were becoming not only increasingly common, but borderline expected of games, as it was quite cheap. Originally overlooked due to that, it's argued that the advent of Emulators, such as (at the time) NESticle, which brought with them Savestates, brought this game the vindication it now rightfully has.
I found the game to be quite fun, and it's always been in the back of my mind with it's catchy music, always existing, even if but as a faint memory. That being said, it's definitely not flawless, as it's difficulty can be strange at times, and it's puzzles to open some corridors can be cryptic, even with the hints; not so much a "Guidebook needed" feeling moreas a "How the hell would anyone of figured THAT out?".
Overall, I love this game, and I can safely say that, to me, it's a hidden gem of 1988, irem as a whole, and the console it's on. Give it a shot sometime!
