awesome, awesome game imo, only problem is its impossible to hunt down an original of it (and believe me Ive tried, talked to collectors, the guy that runs that italian site, brandon of SFT, genki videogames, tried ebay and yahoo taiwan sellers etc etc...)

should anyone ever come across this I promise you I'll pay good, or trade well for it...

cheers,

[Genesis Knight]

Finally!

I hope this is what death adder has in store for us :d

[kallbrand]

its not unfortunately, I actually asked him this... he didnt think it'd sell well enough. maybe we can convince him though...

[highlandcattle]

What? I think it would sell like hotcakes! Everybody on the MD is craving for action not rpgs!

I hope this is what death adder has in store for us :d

Actually, I had been just about to pursue talks with the company that developed this game. However, a public ROM release (thanks, Chinese hackers!) limits the chances of it being a success on the classic games market.

So... enjoy emulating this, but it's very unlikely we'll translate & release it now. Sorry.

This looks beyond cool. I'll have to play it soon. Thanks for the info!

Don't you think it'll be a short while until beggar prince has a rom. All games can be played in an emu.

No big deal since Beggar Prince is sold out and from the looks of it now, won't have a second run.

Damn, too bad it has been dumped... It could have been so great to get a cartridge release

"What? I think it would sell like hotcakes! Everybody on the MD is craving for action not rpgs!"
I agree!

[Zebbe]

I can see a few reasons this should be released by SFT

It's a non-RPG. They don't have much text, so translation is done very quickly.
It was originally released in 1999. If some areas in the world can release Mega Drive games that late, why not get them to the rest of the world?
The graphics could compete with a GBA game if you ask me.

This game could use a pronouncable title. I tried to say it outloud and my Vietmamese lawnmowers became very offended and started throwing apples at my face!

[Drixxel]

Sweet Jesus, is this ever a blatant rip of Knights of the Round..
The addition of a screen-clearing magic attack and run feature for each character are all that distinguishes this from ol' Knights on a gameplay level (hell, you can still hack large piles of money into smaller denominations..). Your three playable characters may as well just be Arthur, Lancelot and Percival transplanted into an ancient Chinese setting and given a cultural make-over. Well, at least the developers picked an especially great Capcom beat-'em-up to shamelessly borrow from... guarantees that the game will at least play well, if not provide a unique gaming experience.

[RedAngel]

Drixxel is right, it is Knights of the Round! The graphics and musics are changed but the engine, animations and feel are 100% Knights of the Round. Is it me or the voices come from Streets of Rage?.

If someone could PM me with a dump link I'd be grateful.
