    "It's too hot to miss" That quote perfectly sums up the game.

    This game!. Such an epic soundtrack, this is the centre of my 80's nostalgia.

    I was absolutely HORRIBLE at this game, but my dad was in love with it.
    This video is so fascinating, I don't know of too many 'making of' videos on 80s and 90s games.

    This game was so mysterious to me as a kid. I didn't even ask for it; I think it was a Christmas present from my crazy uncle. I spent so much time wandering around, exploring rooms, but never came close to beating the game. Which only made it more mysterious--knowing there was an ending programmed into the game cartridge, but I'd never be able to see it in a million years. I wonder if I would've been able to beat it if I'd used a more systematic approach and actually drawn maps for myself. Thanks to speedrun videos I have now seen the game completed!

      I haven't watched any speed runs. But otherwise your post completely mirrors my experience with Solstice - right down to the crazy uncle! The music was completely haunting and even though I had no hope of finishing the game I did really enjoy it. Just had to accept the fact that I really really sucked at it. :P

    This is a great glance back to the past, and a fun bit of history. I've been trying to track down one of these tapes for quite awhile, but haven't had luck in finding one to purchase to cap off my Solstice collection. Still looking for one!

    Damn, the music in this game was awesome! I actually loved that about old 70s and 80s fantasy, how they had that innate connection to both medieval music and progressive rock. I enjoyed that era of fantasy more than, say, the modern era where there's nothing buy overly orchestrated "epic" music(which is more generic, IMO, because epic music isn't just used for fantasy, but action and period pieces too, so it's less intimate of a style for fantasy).

    That is the best game I ever played on NES. I was so scary when I was young. Sometimes I couln't sleep, because of it. The music is still giving me the creeps. I used it as my ringtone. I just love it. Most atmospheric game ever!

    Wow, I'm glad that game devs nowadays seem to have some media training. These guys look SO MUCH out of their element.
    Love the video though, great insight in one of my favorite NES games of all time!

    This game drove me batshit as a kid - that scream when you die haunted my dreams. But yeah, I really wish there were more making of videos for the old games.

    I was just looking through an old game magazine today and saw a Solstice ad that mentioned this tape. I was wondering if someone might have saved it, or if it was lost forever. Thanks for uploading!

    Solstice have a great soundtrack, but the game itself isn't as good as I expected. Still pretty interesting to see how was the production of the game though.

    In the same way that any reasonably competent brain surgeon can save a life. Wow, you know how to fix a brain is and can put up with working in a hospital, who cares. If its true what you say about musicians not getting the credit for their work then fair enough, but you're plain wrong to take away from anyone else's work. It must be difficult to maintain motivation, talent and creativity in a business environment for anyone. Besides, musicians do get plenty of respect.

    The puzzle-solving is overshadowed by the annoying jumps. And since the plot is unoriginal, there isn't much motivation to beat the game.
