Light Crusader

A game for the Sega Genesis created by Treasure. Similar to Landstalker in gameplay but much easier, David the swordsman takes a holiday on Green Row and learns about the missing townspeople. He must go underground, beat up monsters, solve puzzles and free people. The game consists of 7 levels:


 * Castle/Town: No monsters here. You can shop for elements and food here as well as hear a bad piano player. Talking to the king and princess are vital for the plot at times.
 * B1: An easy, straightforward dungeon.
 * B2: Dungeon that houses the 4 orbs used to awaken Ramiah.
 * B3: Dungeon where goblins live and enslave humans.
 * B4: Another dungeon, home to the Wizards' guild
 * B5: One big room with a crystal that teleports you to other dimensions including ice, war, wild west, sci fi, highway, shadow and martial arts worlds.
 * B6: The final dungeon that houses Ramiah.
