One day, Asha was standing on a cliff near her home village, and suddenly heard a mysterious voice calling for help.
She decided to leave the village and to embark on an adventure to discover the identity of this mysterious person.
The game is a side-scrolling action platformer with light RPG elements (treasure, equipment, etc.).
Asha can jump, run, attack or defend (by pressing the "down" button).
She can also use items and equip weapons and armor, talk to people, and open treasure chests.
Later in the game, she will also be able to use magic, and a little blue pet animal will assist and help her on her journey.
The combat system is quite similar to that of early Zelda games.
Health and mana points are measured in little hearts; as the story advances, their amount increases.
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 Monster World IV 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 Monster World IV 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 1994.
