A decent conversion of Taito's arcade Cadash, an action-RPG with local co-op. Charming for genre fans, sadly missing some of the arcade's content.

"Solid"
The game mixes platform scenery with role-playing signs: villages with inns and shops, multi-level caverns, ruined castles. The four playable classes stand clearly apart by silhouette and weapon, and the monsters, drawn in a medieval bestiary style, keep short but readable animations.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Collector interest
Mega Drive port of Taito's Cadash, an arcade action RPG playable cooperatively, released in the US and Korea. Its collector interest lies in the crossing of a liked arcade licence with a rare Korean distribution: the Korea version, from a confidential market, is far harder to find than the US one. The conversion, though trimmed from part of the original content, keeps adherents among action-RPG fans, who seek precisely its least common regional editions.
