Kemco JRPG released in the United States in 1992, deep in the NES's twilight, which explains its high loose price. The scarcity is classic late-release: a small run as attention turned to the Super Nintendo, few complete copies preserved. Sought by fans of obscure eight-bit RPGs and hunters of late NES titles, Ghost Lion is valued less for its play reputation than for that status as a lightly distributed late release.
