Compile's 1989 MSX2 game Adventure of Randar gets an EGG Console port for Nintendo Switch
D4 Enterprise is gradually releasing a new Nintendo Switch EGG Console port based on Compile's 1989 MSX2 release of Adventure of Randar. It is set to be available on Nintendo eShops worldwide, including in the US storefront at $6.49.
This game starred the eponymous Randar, who also became one of Compile's mascots before Mado Monogatari and Puyo Puyo came out as big hits. Compile would also later release two more sequels to turn this game into a trilogy. But while the whole trilogy is already completed and available for free on the Project EGG platform for modern Japanese PCs, this just marks the start for the Switch ports.
You can find the official trailer, descriptions, and screenshots for this Adventure of Randar port right below. Just like the prior EGG Console ports, the actual game is still only available in its original Japanese version despite having an English description.
Released by Compile in 1989, this Role-Playing Game (RPG) was included in Disk Station Spring Issue. Players become Randar, a young knight of Gameland, embarking on an adventure to rescue the Kingdom of Mamorus, dominated by the demon Nestilva.
The game features an intuitive system, including 2D map movement and random encounters for combat. Your adventure unfolds across three towns, three caves, and a castle.
Reflecting its era's gaming trends, this title is quite challenging, featuring high encounter rates and requiring significant grinding. Its popularity is confirmed by subsequent sequels. We highly encourage you to experience this popular RPG from the early days of Compile!
