Minelvaton Saga

Minelvaton Saga (ミネルバトンサーガ ラゴンの復活) is a console RPG developed by Taito for the Famicom and published in 1987. It featured a backup battery for saving games, and a method to hire companions. Combat occurs through collision based action sequences as opposed to a turn based menu system. It was followed up by a sequel called Silva Saga, released five years later in 1992. The game was never sold outside of Japan, or translated from Japanese to any other language.
