I'd never even seen this game before! Zelda 2 is my very favorite Zelda game to re-play, and I saw this mentioned in a list of games similar to it.
The game bounces back and forth between a Zelda style top down action exploration game and an auto scrolling shoot 'em up. Both are great and a lot of fun. The music is good, the graphics are great, the game is hard but fair (so far), the main character is flippin awesome, a cyborg who transforms into a spaceship. There's tons of weapons and rooms to explore.
The biggest drawback is the password system is atrocious, but hey, we have save states nowadays.
Did anyone here play this a lot growing up? Can you beat it?
Loved this one growing up but I was terrible at it. The music is fantastic!
