There are other games in the series including the recently released Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ys_(series) Ys Origin is the prequel to this game and it is set 1000 years before the events of Ys I (Ancient Ys Vanished) and some of the bosses from Ys I appear first in Origin. The sequel is Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter. |

| Maxor127 | This was one of my favorite games in the early 90s. I played it a ton. I had the IIgs version, which had excellent sound and I played it over and over. For some reason, I couldn't figure out how to save the game for the longest time. I remember trying blank disks and they wouldn't work so I gave up and tried playing it straight through but would always eventually die so I didn't win for the longest time. Then one day, I finally figured out how to save a game and managed to win. It's simple but fun, with great catchy tunes and I really liked the Japanese influence and graphic style. |

| RyuRanX | The worse version of Ys 1, but it still a very good action RPG. The PC-Engine version is much better, especially for the music quality. Ys music rocks !!! |

Finished the game... phew... Well, it turned out that the Blue Amulet is needed. I had to reload earlier saved game file to finish the game. Seriously, a manual should be included, or at least certain keys should be mentioned in the review. For example, I didn't know pressing R on keyboard will alow Arick to read the books (after he got a special item necessary first) until I googled for the info on the net. Anyway, here are some of those important keys: F1: load a save game file F4: save current game I: open the inventory screen S: see Arick's status R: read books of Ys The ending of the game is, well, okay. I guess it was quite good at that time (1987 or 1989?). The final boss' battle was frustrating, though. I'm not much of an arcade fan, so yeah imagine my frustration. So I was glad when I finally defeated him. However, I needed to reduce my DOSBox cycle before I even had a chance to win. At first I had to reduce it from my usual setting (8000) to normal DOSBox default (3000). No apparent change. So I reduced again to 1000, then to 500, then to 300, then to 250, and finally to 200 before I managed to get the game slow enough for me in that frustrating arcade scene. I don't quite like the HP cap, and the fact that my gold was rolled back to 0 if I accumulated too much (not that there are many items to buy, but anyway...). Still, for a game this old, it may have been amazing back then. Considering the frustration, this is not a game I would want to replay again. Still, I guess this is okay to play if you want to kill time a day or two. |
