Collector interest
An ASCII RPG of sailing between a hundred floating islands, this late 1991 Famicom title stayed exclusive to Japan and belongs to the wave of niche Japanese RPGs never translated. Its collecting interest comes from the ASCII pedigree, the total absence of a Western release and a modest print run: the complete Japanese copy stays sought by fans of obscure Famicom RPGs rather than a broad audience.
