Best game currently on the VC in my opinion. It never gets old for me. I can go back to it again and again. It seems simple, but it has this addictive quality that pulls you in as you realize it gets trickier and tricker. I was a big fan of Joust and I think this game improves on that game in every way.
I had to buy this, it was the first video game I ever played (the arcade version). It certainly isn't the best home port of this (I say that is Ocean's Version on the Commodore 64), but it's a fine game and it is a Famicom launch title. It has a certain pedigree and it should be respected for that. I also got Donkey Kong Jr. and Mario Bros. Because as someone else said, they are kind of a set.
