The very first Goemon game. I've had a very keen interest in the Goemon franchise for a very long time but never got around to playing any game. I finally started with the first in the series and I don't really like to be too harsh to NES games, but there really are much better NES games. Having said that, Goemon 1 plays like a run and gun Zelda game without any of the puzzles or creativity. There's no map and every level feels the same - randomly generated. It's honest to God repetitive. Thank God for the internet otherwise I wouldn't bare this one. I know the series gets good from the SNES games but I'm still willing to give Goemon 2 a try to see if there are any improvements.

Wouldn't really recommend this one unless you're curious to see how the Goemon franchise began.
