Rolan's Curse...II!

I bought the first game several months ago for a mere 2-3 dollars, and once I heard that there was a sequel, I figured I'd own that too. Ebay had one copy listed for 25 bucks including shipping, but I decided to wait it out...for several weeks. Luckily for me, Amazon had a copy much cheaper, so I ended up getting it for 6 bucks, saving me damn near an Andrew Jackson.

Now, on to gameplay. The first game is super slow, which is a limitation for a Game Boy game; the second game moves much faster, and you get to have a team of people to aid you on your journey. I haven't gotten very far because, frankly, I'm not sure where to go, and my party is weak as well (the monsters I face are much too powerful).

The second game also includes two save states, as compared to the first that required a tedious password. Finally, when I get to a particular "safe point" in the game, I can approach a helpful guy who replinishes my health, while the first Rolan's Curse provided none of this.

The second is clearly better...for now. God, I love owning vintage video games.

Re: Rolan's Curse...II!

Beat it today. It's relatively short.

There are a total of about seven characters in this game, but you can only hold four.

As for the final boss. The weakpoint was right in front of me, but what made the game so difficult is that I kept standing there taking damage, while hitting his weak spot. Lucky for me, I stocked up on plenty of health items, and kicked Baros' ass. It was worth the 5-6 bucks.
