About Lunar: The Silver Star

Welcome to the world of LUNAR, where dragons yet live, and magic is valued above all else. Join Alex, the young adventurer as he begins a quest with his friends to save their land from the crushing advance of the Magic Emporer. Explore dungeons, fight terrifying monsters, and gather information from the locals as you advance toward the explosive confrontation with the Magic Emporer himself! Exciting, menu-driven combat will keep you challenged until the last. And, thanks to the storage power of the CD, LUNAR contains awesome animation sequences that'll get you involved in the story - fast! Get ready for the ride of your life...

A truly classic RPG that never got the recognition it deserved here in the States - mostly because of the commercial failure of the platform it was made for, the infamous SegaCD. Combining an anime-quality plot, memorable characters, a full orchestral soundtrack, and an English translation that - unlike, say, the Final Fantasies - doesn't take itself too seriously, Lunar is well worth the considerable effort it'll take to find a used copy.
