Started playing Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.
Playing on Normal difficulty (since I expect that to be closest to the original, which I may try at some point), as the Girl (of course; if you thought I'd play as the Boy, you don't know me), with retro graphics but modern sound. (I'm thinking I may buy the soundtrack from bandcamp using the money I saved by buying the game on sale, it really is that good)
There are a couple issues I have:
* On my system (Debian stretch), my XBox 360 controller is not recognized by the game (it is by the OS), so I'm playing with the keyboard.
* To go through a door, you need to *hold* up, not just press it. This fact is not communicated well if using retro graphics.
