Absolutely agree, is one of my favorite games on the Nintendo. I play though it every Halloween, and while there's a lot of things I think could've been done better or expanded upon (like towns being completley worthless at night. Would've been cool if they were merchants or something else you could only enter at night similar to the Quest for Glory games) but that's only because of how much I like it and it bugs me that it isn't that perfect.
>AVGN did untold damage to this game's reputation
In the same way the Shrek did untold damage to the western animation industry; idiots following and perpertuating something they don't understand did yes but the actual creator isn't really at fault (James still holds that he really likes Simon's Quest). But also I'm a big fan of early AVGN (and it's because of him that Simon's Quest was one of the first games I bought for my NES) so I'm a little biased.
Though as a nitpick I will say that the limited music does get a little grating if you play it all in one go. The day's fine because there's at least two tracks you'll hear but unless you go into a mansion it's just one at night. Could've had the title screen music play in cemetaries or even towns at night to spice it up a little.
Will also say that the mansions suck and are just boring and tedious.

It was actually a genuine possiblity that Simon's Quest was going to get a IV-styled remake on the Super Nintendo as part of Satellaview if I recall, one of the things I'd want to see the most out of that is the mansions esentially being miniaturized Castlevania I/III levels.
