Update deleted my save and...

It is now more difficult to see the character. Cant u guys just add the option to shrink the screen and put your controls outside of it? Lowered my review. I had been working on this save for a while.

...And all that jazz.

Okay. So I'm giving this game 5 stars. Because of the game. The port is roughly as good as it can be, seeing as we're playing it on a touchscreen, rather than a NES. If you really want the full experience, then don't play a port. It's as simple as that. Go buy a NES. However, if you want to experience a NES game without that much hassle, then I highly recommend this app. It's well put together, and the controls really aren't that bad, considering that it's a NES game being played on a 21st century touchscreen. ;) The gameplay is good( if a bit repetitive, at times), so go ahead and purchase this game!

Love the game, hate the update

Why did I lose my save games with no warning? :-( Can you add some cheats to help us catch back up?

Excellent!

LOVED playing this game on my Sega when I was younger. I don't think I ever finished it then and it feels great to take care of unfinished business almost 20 years later. Thanks guys! Buy it now while it's only $0.99 - once more people find it I'm sure it'll go up.

Great classic

Loved the original. This is a solid port. Not perfect controls but good. Provides many hours of gameplay.

Good retro feel, but...

Plagued by poor control, too sensitive and hard to place your character accurately.

Great idea, poor execution

Controls are difficult, but I expected that having worked with the on-screen controls before. What I didn't expect was that it would lock up when loading a saved game like it does. It seems to load fine after dying the first time; however, after dying a second time, the only way to get off of the load screen seems to be to reboot the phone. I really enjoyed the old Sega version of this game; this is quite a disappointment.

Good port, great game, horrible controls.

Seeing this was like a serious blast from the past. The game is classic, the port is very good, I can't begin to explain how frustrating the control is. I had to bust out the Master System to get my fix since this just won't cut it. Touch screen game pad is not the way to go, it gets in the way of the game and isn't very responsive.

A blast from the past

When I saw this was ported to the iphone from the old Sega Master System I was excited. I picked it up as soon as I saw it. The actual port is decent, albeit the spawn rate of monsters was tweaked to be lower which made the game slightly more of a grind when I needed money. That is my only complaint though. And for clarification for those reading other reviews, this is not an original DotEmu game, therefore the controls are probably about as responsive as the original d-pad on the SMS and no this game wasn't on the NES.

It's ok...

Game locks up & freezes a lot. Other than that, I'm having a good time with the actual gameplay (when I'm not rebooting, that is). I'm not super happy with it, but I definitely don't hate it. Hopefully, they'll fix it...
