Absotively. There's a reason that upon a single playing, I am confident in calling it one of the games that heavily affected me and one of the games that can be claimed to step above mere candy. There's a lot to it, a lot of emergent meaning.
I've always been tempted to put together a hack that increases gained experience (and reduces random encounters) by about three to five times to speed the thing up, so I can point people at the modded version and say, "There. Play the quick version, but damn it, experience it."
