Secret to Success:
As far as overall quests and adventure in an RPG, this is the best you'll find. While the Sega Master System never sold well, this game commands a high price to this day. You'll be lucky to find it for under $100 in good condition. At the time, this game was the pinnacle of 8-bit gaming. The graphics were amazing, the game was huge, and the thought that went into it was never heard of. And having the main character as a female who wasn't dressed in scantily clad clothes is something that hasn't even been tried since. Even today when playing it you can instantly tell it was something special.

Memorable Moments:
Besides playing it the first day I got it on a 13" black and white TV for 16 hours straight, the main thing I remember is Lassic. The whole game you were supposed to hunt down this Lassic fellow. Then you finally get to him and you finally beat him, happy that you won the game. But guess what? That's not the end. I was floored. I went on to meet Darkfalz, only to not be strong enough. I let the game sit and one day my friend Rob decided to raise levels for me and beat it. I couldn't believe it. But I suppose that's what I get for taking 3 months to get that far.
