I have wanted to play this game for years now and I finally obtained it yesterday. I'm emulating it and boy am I glad I didn't spend $200+ to buy this game. I have no idea what to think of it to be honest. It had the most brilliant opening I have seen in any game I have ever played. I was enthralled, captivated. And then... I found myself in the first dungeon my enthusiasm for this game was gone in minutes. This game plays terribly. It seems so tedious and boring and pointless. It can be so difficult to make some of these pointless jumps and don't even get me started on the treasure chests. What exactly is the point of the ability to pick up treasure chests? And why is it so god damn hard to open the things? I don't get it, honestly.

So, I don't really know what to think about this game. I absolutely love it and I absolutely hate it at the same time. What further information can you guys give me?
