About this game
Nintendo's 1994 SNES role playing game, which swaps swords and castles for 199X America. You fight on suburban streets, heal with burgers, take your money out of a cash machine and save the game from a payphone. The hit point counter rolls down rather than dropping, so a blow that would kill you can be healed away if you are quick enough about it. Enemies stand on the map instead of ambushing you, and once you have outgrown them they run, or the fight is over before it starts. Four in the party, and psychic powers in place of magic. The American release came with a strategy guide in the box. The rolling counter is why a lost fight is not over, because you can still heal or finish the fight before the number reaches zero.
