Simon’s Quest doesn’t deserve to be called a bad game. The music and graphics are quite good for the NES and the open structure of the game was quite novel and many elements like the leveling system became staples of the series from SotN onward. The thing that really holds it back is the terrible english translation which makes the puzzles way harder than they need to be.

Was going to say the same. It’s not a bad game by any metric, once you consider what it was competing with. The biggest issue is that the English release has NPC’s flat out lying to you about puzzles.
