MahaRaja
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1989
About this game
When the protagonist (who you name) goes to India on a vacation, he finds a mysterious box on a river bank, said to be a treasure being sought by the Maharaja according to an old man nearby.
Arriving at the Lake Palace, the princess there reveals to the protagonist that it was her who tossed that treasure away because it was offered to the Maharaja by the prophet Indrajit with the intent to resurrect the wicked god Ravana.

During his escape from the Palace, he finds a conspicuous door underneath an altar for Ravana that upon entering, transports him to the past to ancient India.
The divine elephant Airavata greets him in the past and brings him to a hermit who tells him he has been summoned here by Shiva for a struggle against Ravana and sends him to town to prepare for a journey to the resting place of Shiva - Mount Kailash.
This Hinduism-themed Japanese-style adventure game is also a RPG.
Traveling in this game is done entirely on an adventure game interface, never leaving the first-person view.
When random encounters occur, you battle enemies in the same interface, but with the additional appearances of your HP and MP stats.
Spells are called "mantras" and you don't gain them automatically.
Instead, after reaching the level requirement for a mantra, you have to visit Shiva's palace and receive a teaching to learn a mantra.
The Japanese-style adventure gameplay is typical of its genre with the only notable trait being your actions are context-sensitive and aren't all available at the same time.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks MahaRaja for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding MahaRaja to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1989.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
MahaRaja has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
