Man, I beat the SNES version and heard the story was poorly translated, so I wanted to try the GOG version. The SNES version blows it away! This version has NO map OR compass. With no landmarks at al land a pitiful draw distance good luck trying to navigate.You can't run from battles either, unlike the SNES version. The spells are named with barely legible "runes", like Ultima. The SNES version gives them regular names, like "minor heal". I can't think of any reason to play this version unless you want to read the story in the included manual.
