A rather fun Zelda like game for the Sega Gensis.

This game was actually a lot of fun and it is the only video game I have ever bought that came with a fruit rollup in it. I am also guessing that it was for the most part overlooked as I do not recall there ever being a sequel to this game despite the somewhat open ending to it. It was not perfect though as a couple of levels in this one could have one pulling out their hair, however, it is no more difficult than say a Legend of Zelda game in that regard. The plot is a bit different as you are a treasure seeker who stumbles across a fairy who seems to know the location of a rather large treasure. Also tracking the treasure a sort of rival group of treasure hunters who provide more comic relief than any sort of competition to the main character of the story. The quest takes place on an island and it has its various towns with various adventures and occupants who need varying degrees of help from the hero. The story is a bit different as there is trouble brewing in some areas, however, not in the way presented in most role playing games. You also have dungeons where you must get objects to get through them like those found in a Zelda game. The fighting is rather easy and the game never gets to challenging as far as the combat is concerned. Where it gets difficult is some of the dungeons puzzles can become a bit hard to figure out, and you have to back track to find some items you may need to get through other areas. Still, a very fun action role playing game for the Sega Genesis, I would not mind seeing a sequel or remake of it on one of the more advance systems as I think it would translate pretty good to one. However, that is highly unlikely to ever happen.
