Splendid art work
Sound track.
Outdated mechanics.
What an awesome job the team behind the remaster made, it’s a remarkable approach to this 8 bit classic. The hand drawn sprites are gorgeous, and the the sound track merged perfectly the old Sega Master System sound chip with the new orchestrated music.
Obviously the mechanics are outdated, apart from taking advantage of the additional buttons in the modern controllers, nothing has changed. Which is neither a good or a bad thing, it was simply a decision.
Probably, if it wasn’t for this remaster i would never replayed this game.
PLEASE, release more of this remasters in the future.
