The player takes control of the Prince of Palmeccia in a quest for revenge and to kill the evil Ragon. +Fundamentally, the game plays and looks like Dragon Quest. The player is given control of a single character and can explore a number of towns, dungeons, and the world map itself. However, once the player receives the ship for sailing, the game becomes non-linear as the player can explore almost anywhere that can be reached. +Another unique feature is the battle system. Like a typical RPG, there are random battles, but actual combat resembles a sort of action RPG. In battle, the player starts at the bottom of the screen facing the enemies that are at the top. In order to defeat enemies, the player must run into one in order to exchange blows. The closest analog to this unusual system is the MMORPG, or the MMORPG-ish single player game Final Fantasy XII. Beyond that, the basic plot and some of the battle system concept seems to have been co-opted by Sega's Sword of Vermilion. 19871023T000000 Random House @@ -11578,7 +11578,7 @@ To make a shot, using the joystick, move the crosshair in the approximate direct ./Miracle Ropit's - 2100 Nen no Daibouken (Japan).zip Miracle Ropit's : 2100 Nen no Daibouken - A girl in the year 2100 uses a robot suit.
