Absolutely classic game that I had on the Sega Master System. It seemed so unfathomably large back in the day, I just couldn't wrap my head around it cos it was a platform game where you didn't just walk from one side of the screen to the other like the original Wonderboy game (which I also loved), you could walk wherever you wanted and you had to journey all over the place to progress the game and I could never really figure out what you were sposed to do, but I still loved it. Would love to play it again to see if it's as good as I remember it being.
