I remember in grade 4, the girl I liked told me about this game. she made it sound so good. I went and bought it the next day. Thank you Gabrielle! This is one of my favorite RPGs and definetly one of the greatest GB games. It has a good story but it's nothing to die over. It's basically this island that you live on needs a plug or else it'll sink into the ocean. Using a special portal, you have to go find a plug suitable to save the island. You have to gather a team of monsters and go get a plug.
The gameplay is really old school. You see the enemy(s) on the screen and you either pick magic or attack or whatever. As simple as the concept of battleing is, the actual battles are hard. Some battle take alot of thinking and planning and could take you quite a while. The graphics, for a GB game are pretty solid. Alot of the enemies and monsters look really cool and well put together. Out of battles it looks pretty good. Quite a bit of detail in things. The sound, I think is pretty good. Although there are only a few different songs, it doesn't seem to get repetitive. I can still remember the songs. Every once in a while, I'll play the game whenever I have the craving for a good RPG. Overall, like I said, it's a fantastic RPG, one of the best GB games and if you get the opertunity to get your hands on it, you definetly should.
