About this game
An experienced treasure hunter named Nigel is on a quest to obtain the valuable Statue of Jypta.
After successfully recovering and selling the statue, Nigel meets wood nymph named Friday, who is being chased by a trio of thieves.

The thieves assume that Friday knows the location of the mysterious treasure of King Nole.
However, she does not appear to have the exact location in mind, and instead relies on her senses to track it.
She offers Nigel to accompany him on a long journey and eventually lead him to the coveted treasure.
Landstalker is an isometric action game with platforming, puzzle-solving, and light role-playing elements.
Much of the game is spent in dungeon-like hostile areas, where Nigel must often fight enemies, jump, climb ladders and ropes, and throw objects to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles.
Nigel can acquire better weapons and armor, as well as items that permanently increase his hit points and strength.
In towns it is possible to talk to non-player characters and buy items in shops.
There are optional quests in the game, which may reward the player with attribute-increasing items.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Landstalker for Sega Genesis 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 Landstalker 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 GEN release dates back to 1992.
