About the Game

An active role-playing game released by T&E SOFT in 1984.

Fairyland is a peaceful kingdom inhabited by fairies.

One of the gems has been stolen by a human with evil intentions, awakening the demon Varalys, who is said to be the strongest in mythological legend.

The player takes on the role of Jim, a brave young man, and his objective is to restore peace to Fairyland by searching for the lost gem and defeating the demon Varalys.

Action is the key to this game.

Players switch between attack and defense modes as they fight monsters by slamming Jim into them.

This game is a pioneer of the Japanede PC fantasy RPGs of the 1980's. It is a monster title that reigned at the top of the popularity rankings in PC game magazines for a long time, with its diverse and beautifully composed fields, including plains, castles, churches, and labyrinths.

  • The main game and gallery screen (*Gallery) are in Japanese version.

  • Other menu screens and "How to play" screens are in English.
