Legend

Released in 1987 by Quasar Soft, this title is a side-scrolling action game developed for the PC-8801. Players take on the role of the protagonist, Arlos de Gran, and embark on a mission to explore vast maps and recover a stolen crystal from the Great Demon King Gaudias. Notable for its era, the game features ambitious mechanics such as mid-air jump control and screen-flipping transitions. Today, players can relive this classic adventure through the retro gaming distribution service "Project EGG."

A crystal that balances the light and darkness of human hearts has fallen into the hands of the Great Demon King Gaudias, who was sealed deep underground, due to an error by the fairy Arena. As the world falls into ruin under the power of the Demon King’s darkness, the knight Arlos de Gran sets out on a quest to reclaim the crystal and save the world. Players control Arlos as he explores vast maps to collect four fire crystals guarded by powerful monsters, all while making his way toward the Demon King’s castle.
