      He's falling into a depression as the bullshit of this game is sinking in and adding up. Like he's realizing "if you screw up then... you have to do it all over... and they don't tell you... and oh... shit."

    To enjoy this game, load up the Game Genie and put in GZVXTPSA and ZESUTPAA and suddenly the game becomes a straightforward blast everything in sight shoot-em-up type game and is 1000 times more enjoyable. And don't even bother with the last level. The ending is just one screen with the princess on it and some congratulations text. Just watch someone's lets play and pretend you beat the game. Edit: also, get a turbo controller so that you can just hold the A button down and you'll knock out the walls and reveal stuff all over the place.

    If I'm not mistaken, this was the game that Square Soft made right before Final Fantasy, the one that almost bankrupt them.
    I mean, in theory, it's kind of a neat idea. Like, a top down shooter that has dungeon crawler/RPG elements, but ho boy, was this ever poorly designed. I would love to see Square take another crack at this kind of game and actually make it good :P

The guy refused to give me my money back, saying only that it was not his responsibility to stop me from buying terrible games.

    This has a lot of similarities to Gun.Smoke on the NES, which is a great game, though this sounds hard if what Mike says is true about needing every character. Gun.Smoke scrolls the same, it has boots you can find to increase your speed, and it has hidden wanted posters you need to get to a boss. If you miss a wanted poster, the game scrolls into the start of the level and keeps doing it until you find the poster.
