Played on the NES back in the day with my Dad, we had sheets and SHEETS of paper with the long safe game codes you had to type in.
I remember it so well I can draw you the first level layout..
Also most importantly .. Tell me the arms of the shop/trader man do NOT look like loaves of bread XD
This was the first game that kept me up all night (and got me in trouble with my parents) to beat it. And then, a week later, I did it again! LOL I absolutely love this game and haven't seen it anywhere since its original release.
