Describing this game as mindless exploration might sound like an insult, but the way it's done is actually pretty fun. There's no real goal, but there's tight platforming and fun side stuff/secrets. While playing on original hardware is not a bad option either, the password system is half and half. It keeps track of what lizard you had and which area you were in, doesn't keep track what bosses you beat or what coins…

I initially thought that the reason I didn't enjoy Lizard was because I've become too accustomed to incredibly well made 8-bit inspired games that have seemingly flooded the market over the past decade or so. While there may be some truth to this, it doesn't make up for the fact that when compared to its NES peers, Lizard just simply isn't a fun or even interesting experience. If anything, I'm slightly disappointed…
