I will never forget this game. I always loved it, I still love it! Have not completed it even after 15 years. The control is a bit tough at first. The elf will keep walking until you tap the stick in the opposite direction. It's easy at first to walk off of the edge of things, or into enemies and die. But the reason I like it is I was the only person sadistic enough to force myself to master the control, and as a result I got really good. There is quite a bit of strategy since your arrows are limited. The animation and enemies are very imaginative. I understand that most people hate this game but I love it! I am proud to have an original boxed copy sitting proudly on my game shelf! Elf rules! Elf is about to die...oops wrong game.
