Dragon Slayer THE LEGEND OF HEROES

Originally released by Nihon Falcom in 1989, this title is a landmark entry in the "Dragon Slayer" series that serves as the origin of the long-running "Legend of Heroes" RPG franchise. Set in the lush world of Iselhasa, the game follows a grand, dramatic adventure that begins in the small kingdom of Fahren. Departing from the company's previously complex game systems, this title embraced a classic command-based RPG style that appealed to a wide audience. With a development team including Yoshio Kiya and music by Mieko Ishikawa, the game’s historical significance is cemented by its technical prowess, including early support for CD-DA audio.

Prince Selios of the Kingdom of Fahren, located on the many-islanded world of Iselhasa, lived a peaceful life on the island of Sasai. However, just before his sixteenth birthday, he is caught off guard by a sudden monster attack and discovers that his kingdom has been usurped by the regent, Acdam. Forced into exile, Selios embarks on a treacherous journey to avenge his father and reclaim his throne, gathering reliable allies along the way. His quest soon grows beyond saving a single nation, evolving into an epic struggle against a vast darkness threatening the entire world.
