Taking into consideration that this is a game programmed from the ground up for the NES, I stand by this score. It may not have all the bells and whistles of a modern "retro inspired" game, but that's because it is the real deal, not just an homage. The game handles and plays like a top tier first party effort, and the graphics/mood/setting created within the NES confines is mind blowing. It is also important to mention the amazing improvements in '86 over '85 (though 85 is also a great, great game). I really hope retro fans will give this game a try.
