Hey Midnight Circus, I've played it as well. I first played it as a rental back in the day when NES was contemporary(wow, I'm getting old!). Also, I've played it recently on an emulation program. You can find these online for free if you weren't already aware of them. Besides combining gaming platforms, it had a little of everything. Personally, I always thought some of the music was really cool for an NES game.
I guess that makes twenty-one people who've played it all across the world! :super_hap
Yeah, I'm a big fan of emulation...even found a way to jerry-rig my PSX so I can play NES games without the use of an internal modchip. I know the ESA looks down on it, but my feeling is that if I own a game that was released over fifteen years ago, I should (and do) have a right to a back-up copy. But I digress.
The thing certainly did have something for everyone, didn't it? There wasn't a whole lot of text in the game, but there was enough to give the game a hint of darkness and the player a sense of impending doom (especially the first message from the final inhabitant of Naju). My only wish is that they would have made its connection to Guardic (it's psuedo-prequel from the MSX computer, just in case you weren't aware of it already) more clear. I also wish they would have given Miria a bit more of a backstory. Those are small gripes, however.
The music is certainly ahead of its time. I'd almost argue that it's right up there with the likes of Mega Man and Castlevania in terms of quality...has a way of burrowing into your head and staying there for a few days.
is there a free program where you can get snes games?
Yes. It's legality is wholly dependent upon the laws in your region, though. In the US, it's legal to own copies of games you already own under certain software laws. I'm not so sure about the UK, though, so I don't know how the mods would feel about me giving out such information...
Since that's the case, I'll only tell you that if you want to learn more about such things as your own country's software laws, you might want to type into google the terms "roms" and "emulators."
