Collector interest

The Sword of Hope is the first of Kemco's two text RPGs on Game Boy, released in the US in September 1991. The American version is the most accessible branch of the line and serves as the entry point for anyone chasing the complete pair before its sequel. Its desirability rests on its standing as an early console RPG, a scarce genre at that stage, more than real scarcity: North American boxes remain the most common of the set.
