On par with a Link to the Past | Great Story | Genuinely creepy elements (rare for GB game) | Should have blown up

Really great game: above average gameplay, great story, great world, amazing weapons. Took me a long time to track this one down. I remembered one of my friends had it when we were more of children. When we had sleep overs I would stay up after my friend fell asleep and play it for hours and hours. I was insanely jealous of that game, and though I never stole it from my friend I believe it is a major root of my kleptomaniacal escapades. I finally tracked it down a few years ago and it was every bit as good as I remembered.

I love werewolves, I think their awesome and unbelievably scary. I highly recommend An American Werewolf in London, John Landis fan or not.

I certainly don't have the game in front of me now so this is from memory. I said this game is on par with a Link to the Past and I meant it. Though if there is one area it flaws in comparison with alttp it is in charm. Not to say this game isn't charming, it is: in fact at times incredibly so and in one instance actually superiorly so (think english gentleman mixed with dread). On the whole alttp is still more charming though, as it should be, being a Zelda game and all.
