A Varie-made Japanese RPG that stayed strictly Famicom, Grand Master carries the aura of an obscure title from a secondary publisher whose cartridges grow scarce in good shape. Its tiered mage-order progression and alchemy set it apart from mass production, and it is this very obscurity, more than any reputation, that props up its value on the Japanese market. The lack of Western release reserves it for niche Famicom RPG enthusiasts.
