Mega CD with the un-working designed patch.

If you know moon runes, play all 3 versions coz they're all different.

PC Engine port is a remake of this

PCE would have been great if HuneX didn't slow down the game.

HuneX?

I don't know OP but I'd pop her full of mail

The developer who ported it to the PCE, just like how SIMS made the Mega CD version.

I suppose at this stage a great way to play the game would be to play the Sega-CD game with the patch that removes the artificial difficulty buff it received when being ported over to the States.

There are some very eye-rolling localization jokes (e.g. "Crotchynsnyffer" or some stupid shit like that) but for the most part it fits the light-hearted vibe of the game.

The PCE CD port is good, though you can't skip cutscenes (that can be a pain), you will almost need to resort to a FAQ to figure things out, and imo some of the difficulty spikes in the game can be really bullshit (especially if you lose to a boss that you have to sit through an unskippable cutscene just to refight... ugh...).

Despite those caveats the game is very fun and radically different than the Sega-CD version, favoring Ys-style bump combat and being I suppose a little quicker paced.

For an intro though I would def. play the Sega-CD version patched.

Isn't the sega CD version just the best all-around version?

Unpatched game's still pretty easy except for a handful of bosses. Enemies are predictable and many bosses are cheeseable.

I was hoping for a Metroidvania, or at least something like Goonies 2, but it's actually more linear than it seems.

oh damn. when did this happen? I might go back and try to finish it.

Though i would just prefer a fan translation of the original.
