Early RPG for the Mega Drive. Makes use of several different perspectives. Overworld and dungeons are explored in first-person view. Towns and the special fighting screen are from above and the few boss fights from a special side-view. The graphics are nice, but suffer from palette swapping and a lack of variety when it comes to the environmental graphics. The gameplay consists of a rather simple formula. You visit a town which has a problem and you have to solve that problem by visiting a nearby cave, either recovering an important item or killing a boss enemy. That concept repeats through about a dozen of towns. Fighting is an important part of the game. And fighting you have to do a lot. The random encounter rate is high, too high for my taste. When it comes to a fight you have to actively kill the monsters on a special fight screen, bringing a big action component to the game.

When the evil wizard-king, Tsarkon, invaded Excalabria, King Erik V had no choice but to turn his infant son over to his most trusted warrior, Blade. As his castle burned, King Erik hurriedly gave Blade an ancient family heirloom, the Ring of Wisdom, and asked him to leave at once in the hopes that the young heir to the throne would survive. Blade raised Erik VI as his own, knowing one day the prince would fulfill the prophecy of the Malaga fortune tellers. Now, eighteen years later, Erik VI returns to Excalabria to avenge his father’s death and reclaim the kingdom.

I have yet to either know anybody personally or saw anybody post anything on the internet about what the "Kulm Vase" is on Sword of Vermillion, and how you obtain it. It is in the items list in the strategy guide but it doesnt tell you how to find the thing.

Also havent seen anybody else mention anything about the "Mega Blast" that can be found in the pathway thru the woods in Barrow on the way to Uncle Tibor's house by searching. It is roughly halfway thru the path if memory serves. I have no idea what it does.

Is there not anybody out there in this world that knows anything concerning these 2 matters?
