As this game gets older. I'm wondering who played this when it first came out? I was about six or seven, and Nintendo Power released a guide to this game, I didn't have it. Begged my mom for it. and when I got it, didn't get far in it at all. Then when I was 16 I went and bought a re-chipped nes and beat it. Another question, who has played this on an actual console. so many remakes and with Roms I wonder if we're becoming a dying breed.
