Maze of Galious thread.

Enlighten me on this lost masterpiece!

Not much info on it. I love wonder boy, so is it good? Does it need a guide? What is the best way to play it.

On a side note, knightmare kicks ass.

From what I've played of it and what I've seen online, it seems like a pretty awesome game, kind of like Zelda 1 mixed with an action/platformer. It also is EXTREMELY difficult. I don't see how anyone could finish it without either a manual or a lot of hints. Or both.

It was also the direct inspiration for an indie game by the name of La-Mulana, which is also good, but possibly even HARDER. If you like Galious, give this one a try.

Arak, would you recommend a map too? Or to make one as you go...

[Arjak]

I would say that depends on how much of a masochist you are.

Maybe I could use a map...

Arkhan, where are you? You are the msx connoisseur.

[Opethian]

[Arkhan]

Play it on MSX.  Make a map.

[lukester]

Me interested.

Moar questions.

Is a Japanese version playable? It is much cheaper.
Map making strategies for a noob?
Hints I should know?
Are there saves?

If you didn't know lukestar there's a famicom version as well with a fan translation.

This game looks so awesome.

Uh oh, now that the Famicom connection was made, I am far more interested in it. 

Sad, but true.

I finished the Japanese MSX one.  It's not that bad.

What I did for map making was hit print screen and keep photoshop open.   Paste-->go!

there is a password system but not sure how well that will help you as you would probably die between those rooms if this is your first run.
