It does.

They lost the source code, though. That's why the only re-release it's ever had has been a total overhaul remake for the DS and it wasn't in any of the PS1 collections like the other games.

I'm just afraid the NES FFIII has many of the flaws that typical 8-bit RPGs tend to have. Can't confirm if it does or doesn't, though.
It does, but I still prefer it to the remake.

That's really interesting! I have to wonder how people manage to just lose source code like that. Kind of bizarre.

Did they check under the bed?

Ask Sega. They lost the source code for Panzer Dragoon Saga and House of the Dead 1.

It's quite silly, honestly.

I think Square Enix also lost some of the Kingdom Hearts 1 source code, meaning the HD port is a literal remake. An exact remake.
