I never played the original so I had to go check out some videos to see what it used to look like. WOW this is a huge upgrade. Very nice work. Excited to try this out!

Thanks! The game gets a bad rep because it was released in the US in the late 80s after many much more elaborate JRPGs had already become popular here. It's also very non-intuitive and quirky in a way that makes more sense when you contextualize it as a very, very early Japanese computer game (it was originally released in 1984!). I figure a nice polish and coat of paint might go a long way to making the game more enjoyable.
