Hi Bryan, Yes, Startropics was an extremely good game for the NES. Besides the above things you mentioned I liked the fact that buttons to unlock doors, chests, etc were hidden. You actually had to jump on a certain platform in order to get that particular button to appear, jump on the button, and then the door or chest would open letting you through. Sometimes it wasn't obvious where to jump to get those hidden buttons to appear. Then, there was a little bit of everything when it came to enemies. There were blob like creatures that looked like giant jelly fish, undead pirates, ghosts, mummy looking things, giant rats, and so on. You had weapons ranging from a yoyo to super lasers. In a way the game was pretty strange, but a cool kind of strainge. It was great fun that's for sure.
