Line 4:
A princess has been kidnapped, and hidden away in a labyrinth filled with monsters. Fortunately, you are a brave knight, who can handle the task. Plus your father disappeared into that labyrinth, so you have both personal reasons and your duty to take on that place.
 
This dungeon crawler for the [[Useful Notes/Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]] is actually the first of the [[Shining Series (Franchise)|Shining Series]], even though it's of a different genre than the more famous ''[[Shining Force (Video Game)|Shining Force]]'' games, although there was a follow-up game in the same genre: ''[[Shining the Holy Ark (Video Game)|Shining the Holy Ark]]'' for the [[Useful Notes/Sega Saturn|Sega Saturn]].
 
The action is also first person in pseudo 3D, much like the dungeons games like ''[[Arcana (Video Game)|Arcana]]'' and the first ''[[Phantasy Star I (Video Game)|Phantasy Star I]]''.
