My judgement might be slightly skewered by nostalgia, but this simply has to be one of the best games i have played in my entire life. Charming design, *great* music, interesting castles, spells and maps, "practically" endless replayability and good flow both in combat and outside. Graphics might seem a little dated today, but it was simply THE best for its time, and is still fun to revisit today. If you haven't played this beforehand, it will (happens to all games) probably seem old, but if you decide to sink a couple of hours into it you will feel rewarded that you did.
