"Classic"
Carried by the rock guitars of the Falcom Sound Team, the Ys music unfurls heroic themes of irresistible energy, from the famous Valestein Castle to the most intense dungeons. Each track galvanises Adol's feats with constant flair. This melodic fire remains one of the great signatures of the action-RPG.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

The North American Genesis Ys III was issued by Renovation, Telenet's US arm, in a period US cardboard box with a notably shorter run than Japanese markets. That limited release and its place in the Falcom saga lift complete values among the priciest action-RPGs on Genesis. Western collectors chase it as a rare localization of a niche series, distinct from the Japanese Mega Drive original.
Is Ys III still worth playing in 2026?
A Mega Drive port of Ys III Wanderers from Ys, this Falcom action RPG swaps the top-down view of the early Ys games for side-scrolling, following Adol Christin in an adventure full of combat and bosses. The memorable soundtrack, the mood and the snappy pace of the clashes keep character, even if the shift to side view divides and the handling has aged. The Mega Drive version shines for its music. An estimable pick for fans of retro action RPG and lovers of the Ys series.
