literally just scored a N2 yesterday and this thread pops up.  Its a game I thought I would never be able to afford.  Really looking forward to playing it having finished the first one about 6 months ago.

I tend to agree that N1 is a step above LoZ but maybe not quite LttP.  I think N1 (1989) slots in nicely in between LoZ which came out in 1986 and LttP which came out at the end of 1991.  You can really see the maturation of the genre.

Finally tried Neutopia. I think it's pretty good so far. I've beat the first two crypts, and moved onto the next Sphere (at 3rd crypt).

A little strange that there are 4 over-worlds instead of 1.

Now on the 7th crypt. My biggest problem with the game is the constant necessity of bombs, and enemies rarely drop any.

Music is good but unmemorable, but the game is still better than Zelda 1. I don't think it's better than LTTP, but it feels somewhat less tedious.

Can you save Neutopia games on a Duo-R instead of having to write down super long passwords each time?

Did you visit all the Far East Monks who increase your maximum bomb supply?

Haven't seen them. Just the one that gave me an extra life bar.

I'm playing on an emulator, (keyboard is better for these kind of games), but yes. You can save your game.

Found a monk. I went back to the Lava world to get more money, and I stumbled upon him. Extra 4 bombs!

However, the game is getting really tedious. The 8th boss is tough as nails, so I have to grind and grind for money to buy some potions.

Finally beat it. I had to look up how to get the last sword, but no shame.

Final boss wasn't too bad. I guess I'd give the game a C+ or B-.
