    I remember playing Faxanadu when I was like 10 years old, passing it, and feeling like Hulk Hogan when he defeated Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania.

    Sure it uses a pretty shitty password save system, but who cares, you get to kill enemies that look like giant eyeballs with legs.

    Faxanadu is definitely one of the best games for the NES, and I would love to see a virtual console release, so that folk who didn't experience its mastery the first time around will be able to do so now!

    I still have Faxanadu in my closet but I can't play it because my NES is broken. I'd love for it to be on VC.
