Then do it again (1st Quest, 2nd Quest). This is an appropriately difficult action-adventure with minor puzzle elements and maze like dungeons. There are enemies on nearly every screen to be dispatched by sword, boomerang, arrow, bomb, flame, recorder (flute), and/or magic.

But after porting, people at Flagship thought that the original Legend of Zelda was too hard and set about dumbing it down. Rather than adding more dialog or a hint system, they chose to fundamentally change gameplay. With each dumb down step in a specific gameplay mechanic, the rest of the gameplay needed to be reworked to match. Soon the entire overworld was different and nothing fit together very well. Additionally the was the legitimate innate problem (as opposed to the aforementioned manufactured problems) of individual screens of the original being too big for the Gameboy Color screen. This could lead to the player not seeing things as important as doors and stairways. Note to developers, visually alerting players to important off-screen information is commonly called Radar. This can be a separate window on a status screen, a small overlayed window, an switchable HUD, or a fractional HUD showing only key info for short times as needed.

Despite Flagship's concern over difficulty, the original LoZ has sold well in every market where it is offered on Gamecube & Wii.

| Blaster Master: Enemy Below | Sunsoft (SunSoft) | 2000 | Piloting the mighty SOPHIA tank, you'll progress through a massive subterranean world with two unique gameplay modes. The first type is a side-scrolling Blast-A-Thon, where your perspective is from the inside of the SOPHIA tank. You'll have to use equal measures of timing with your trigger finger, as there is nearly as much jumping as there is shooting. The second type of gameplay puts you on foot. To explore many of the underground caves, you'll have to leave the relatively safe confines of the SOPHIA to enter overhead-action stages, where you can uncover special weapons and abilities for the tank that will unlock even more areas to explore. Highly-detailed graphics, coupled with smooth animation, ensure a high-quality graphical experience. | labelimagesubject |
