Would you have bought the Quinty remake, had it been released?
It’s actually kind of cool that, due to a hack, this game could be preserved!
I remember playing Mendel Palace at a family friend’s house and getting really far in it. What a delightfully quirky game. I’ll have to try the SFC version now!
Oh no! That’s horrible! But where is it? So that I can avoid downloading it?
Man old school game freak were freaks for sure!
