Lords of the Rising Sun

The Battle Lines are Drawn! Welcome to the twelfth century Japan! Your bitter rivals, the Taira clan, have murdered your father and subverted the emperor.

In an epic quest to become SHOGUN, and thus redeem the family honor, you’ll command vast armies of samurai warriors; defend yourself against ninja assassins; lay siege against mighty fortresses; negotiate alliances; and confront your enemies in personal combat!

The TurboGrafx-CD (1989) was one of the earliest CD-ROM add-ons for a home console, expanding the TurboGrafx-16's library with games too large for cartridges. Its already-niche parent platform combined with the added cost of the CD add-on kept the North American audience small, making complete TurboGrafx-CD sets a genuinely rare find for collectors today.

Gamevaro tracks Lords of the Rising Sun for TurboGrafx CD 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 Lords of the Rising Sun 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 TGCD release dates back to 1989.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Lords of the Rising Sun, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common TurboGrafx CD titles.

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.
