Attention span: 6/10 catchy at first, but nothing to do
Controls: 8/10 slow but kinda responsive
Implementation: 5/10 insanely huge, good graphics though
Overall: 6/10 still in demo stages, may improve

I just noticed not a lot of BASIC games get reviews. But here's a nice spiffy game (demo actually) that shows good signs of being a nice game. The title is synonymous with great games. Yes folks, Zelda in BASIC.

Now, usually I go with ASM games and BASIC math and science progs, but this one is coming along nicely to break that trend. It just needs a few fix-me's.

For one thing, even though it is faster than most BASIC games this size, it still is slow, and the fact that the programmer (good job by the way) put so much detail into it kind of makes it slower. Overdetail for a BASIC game does exist, and such things include when you cut a bush with your sword. The bush getting cut gets animated, and slows down the entire game (demo) seriously. Even though it's a nice touch, it really isn't THAT necessary. If a bush getting cut slows the game (demo) down, however, one must imagine how an enemy would affect the speed. One more fix-me: where's the storyline? Since it resembles Zelda for the gb, I'm guessing its the same storyline. It also gets tiring to walk around and not kill anything with your spiffy sword or block anything with your dandy shield. This game (demo) also uses many, MANY files, and it's only a demo. I'd hate to see what happens when the storyline is implemented.

All in all, it is a nice game (demo) with pretty good graphics, even without gray scale, but it'd be nice for a storyline and something to do. But, if you feel the need to make your friends ooh and ahh at the thought of Zelda on a calculator, then this is the game (demo) for you.
