Keep in mind when you're reading this review, the game is reviewed from the perspective from the time period. This is one of the more underrated games of all time. Its a great action/RPG/adventure game. This game came out to moderate fanfare, but it didn't take long to catch on as one of the best from the genre/time period with serious gamers. If you enjoy playing NES classics, and haven't had the privilege of playing Startropics, give it a chance. If you're like me, and remember playing it in the golden years of gaming, its worth it just to own as a keepsake of a time long gone by but never forgotten. In summary I would like to reiterate that I believe it is one of the more underrated games of all time.
In my opinion, this game... THIS GAME!!!! Is the GREATEST NES GAME OF ALL TIME!!!! This game is my all time favorite NES game, my mother is a fan of this game too. Why do I like this game soo much? Its unique, great puzzle / action adventure game, its incredibly hard I'll give you that. There is nothing I dislike about this game, except for the sequel. They kind of jacked up the series when they came out with the sequel. This game, is nothing like The Legend of Zelda series. So don't listen to all the people saying this game is like the Zelda series, because its not, because the battle system is different, your in roam / exploring mode for a few, and then when you find a dungeon, its dungeon / fighting mode. Nothing like Zelda in my opinion. The storyline and gameplay is far different from Zelda. If you're a retro gamer, you have GOT to pick up this game, and go ahead and pick up the sequel, even though its not as good as the first. I give this game a rating of 5/5.Read full review
Star Tropics was always a game that I found entertaining. Neither a platform, RPG or puzzle games, it also had the rarety of being set in the middle of what seemed to be a real world. It also had some pretty neat ideas for weapons, and a pretty good sense of humor. It wasn't the NES's finest hour, but it demonstrated what this system was capable of doing even at an 8-bit level. This game, even though it was used, played very well, and I'm so glad thatit's back in my possession again. David Morris
I Think Startropics is a great game that should be in any NES owner set of games. However, I Mostly think that this is a great product and in great condition. And with the Manual this was just a must buy for me.

From the instant I held this game in my hands once I again, I was taken back to 1990. The main instigator for buying this game was the nostalgia. In addtion, it's just a great game. Play reminds me of the Legend of Zelda series. Enjoyable storyline. Really though, it was about being a kid again. It's the reason why I bought an original NES to begin with. A simpler time and place, with simpler games to immerse myself in.
Wish I could give you more than 5 stars! I got this game for my husband! We got it fast and the game is in great quality and works great! Thank you so much!

This game has many different levels, engrossing game play, and is one of the best of its genre. I highly recommend it for kids and adults alike. It has a high replay value and seems to get better every time you play through. I bought this game because it was one of my favorites as a kid and still proves to be a very fun way to kill a few hours.
This game is still loads of fun to play and well worth it for gamer into the type of action adventure genre! Graphics are good and hold up well enough nowadays. Gameplay is good with the yoyo and various side weapons to attack enemies.

I love everything about the game except that the movement on the Dpad wasn't fluid that the sequel offered. I bought Startropics and Zoda's Revenge because I grew up with the series and I was disappointed that my brother sold off my original Zoda's Revenge cartridge while I was away at college. When I found out that my girlfriend loves retro gaming, I decided to regain what I've lost because my childhood makes who I am.
