I still have my old NES cartridge for the original game. It was NES HARD for sure. I never beat it without a Game Genie

I nearly put a hole through my ceiling when I finally beat the game as a kid, I jumped so high in excitement.

What's wild is that this is only the first metroidvania Little Nemo game that's been in the works: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2229030/Little_Nemo_and_the_Nightmare_Fiends/
