Dragon Slayer: Eiyuu Densetsu
Super Nintendo Entertainment System · 1992
About this game
Dragon Slayer is commonly considered one of the progenitors of the action RPG genre.
The premise is similar to Roguelikes : the player takes control of a knight who must fight his way through large overhead maze-like dungeons.

Unlike roguelikes, the combat in the game is fully action-oriented: the player must approach the monster and "bump" into it in order to inflict damage, at the same time trying to avoid its blows.
Combat takes place on the same screen as the exploration; monsters will also sometimes pursue the knight if he attempts to escape.
Also contrary to roguelikes, none of the locations or items in the game is randomized.
The player can collect power stones and coins during the journey; the power stones increase the hero's strength, while the coins increase his hit points (health).
Defeating enemies also yields experience points, which determine the amount of maximum HP the hero is able to receive.
The knight is able to cast magic spells, though they are mostly used outside of combat, for example breaking walls, teleporting, or creating a map of the area.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Dragon Slayer: Eiyuu Densetsu for Super 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.
