GUIN SAGA

Released in 1987 for the NEC PC-8801, this adventure game is based on "The Leopard Mask," the first volume of Kaoru Kurimoto's epic fantasy novel series, "Guin Saga," which has sold over 33 million copies. As the second entry in the "D-PHOTON" label project, which adapted Hayakawa Publishing's novels into games, it offered fans of the era a chance to experience the world of the original series. Developed by Just, this title represents an ambitious attempt to convey the series' dense, sweeping narrative through the technology of the time, making it an essential piece of history for any collector.

Following the destruction of the capital city of Crystal by a surprise attack from the Mongaul army, twins Linda and Remus of the kingdom of Paro are teleported to a remote wilderness by ancient machinery. Just as they face certain doom, a mysterious amnesiac warrior with the head of a leopard named Guin appears to rescue them. Alongside the enigmatic leopard-headed man, the twins embark on a perilous journey through a land overrun by demons, marking the beginning of an epic saga concerning the reclamation of their homeland and the secrets of their own origins.
