An action RPG ported from Origin Systems. The kingdom's free exploration impresses for its time, but the port loses clarity next to the Amiga version. Solid for fans of western RPGs on NES.

Collector interest

Times of Lore in its Famicom form is the Japanese port of Origin Systems' action-RPG, published by Toshiba EMI and kept exclusive to the Japanese market. Its interface was streamlined for the console, and the lack of Western echo for this edition makes it a niche object for fans of Western RPG conversions on the Famicom. Its moderate value reflects specialized demand around Origin adaptations rather than pronounced scarcity.
