  • How is it a Zelda 2 ripoff?

    I mean, sure, it plays similarly.

    But if you start to think like that, then every FPS would be a Doom clone, or every classic JRPG would be a Dragon Quest clone.

    Face it: Most games take inspiration from another game, or even straight-out copy some elements.

  • @Cyril86 Totally agree. This is one of the best NES titles ever made. I cannot say that about Zelda 2. Although Zelda 2 was pretty bad ass, it's not in this class. This game belongs with the Mega Man 2's, Mario 3's, Tetris's and Mike Tyson's Punch Out's.

  • @Cyril86 Right on. Like saying that Dragon Quest copied off of D&D, or that D&D copied off of Lord of the Rings. Everything comes from something...

  • I love this game!, even now... This was 1 of the 3 best sword&shield games of NES, with Zelda 2 and Faxanadu. Awesome games. How I miss that kind of creative, involving and fun gamplay!.

  • @Cyril86 Yes we know, but this game was released some years after. Besides the last boss is a shadow.

  • i would give my life by this game lol nah, im a zelda fan too (ocarina of time majoras mask etc) and this is not a copy of any gameboy/nes zelda, like told the mate... its similarly (princess to be rescued.. like in mario bros or much other games, etc etc) but zelda its not based on mythological creatures talking bout enemies... theres the point ,and it is 2 wonderful stories totally different... believe me.

  • All my childhood...

    Pelopponesus song, argolis, crete, phtya, phrygia omg omg omg

    back to the past.

  • does anyone know if any part of this soundtrack is based on actual Greek music?

  • I think, of all games out there, this one made me ragequit the most..

    And man.. the olives >.< The hours spent on collecting those damn olives xD
