Have you ever played thru but instead of killing Kary the fire fiend, you skip her, head to the Kraken , than kill her? Its hard, I had no idea I did it the first time but playing thru again and again trying multiple companion classes I kept doing it as such and found it fun..

Another thing for all you people who never played it on NES.. You can't say 100% that you are a die hard fan till you played it on the NES.. There are no saves in the dungeons, no tents, cabins and when you run out of spells, you're out.


Also if I am not mistaken, the village you enter the krakens dungeon from has a graveyard tribute to Dragon Warrior Aka dragon quest.


Any other tidbits people care to share?

Didn't know you could skip Kary. Or never cared to try maybe. I loved that game, and yes, the NES version is the real deal, although I like some of the additions on the re-editions on PS1, GBA and PSP. But the NES one will ever be my favorite. Theres something very special about it.
