Collector interest

Shadow Brain is a dark RPG blending science and the occult, issued by Pony Canyon in 1992 on a fading Famicom and thus in a limited run. Wholly Japanese, without sequel or renown, it appeals less through aura than through its late-release scarcity and its place in Pony Canyon's thin late catalogue of RPGs. A niche item for anyone documenting the last JRPGs born on the console.
