Kuusou Kagaku Sekai Gulliver Boy *SNES* Part 1

Gameplay In the game, the player will be guiding Gulliver and his team from city to city, liberating the world from the rule of Spain while chasing after it's leader, Judau. By travelling in the ship Sea Lion, the player will visit different cities in the world, some mandatory for story progression and some optional as side quests. Gameplay elements and rules The game is a 2D RPG with battles fought in "first person mode" similar to games such as Phantasy Star. Battles are not random, meaning players see the enemies roaming the screen and they have to touch them to fight them. The game doesn't show the player how much experience the characters have nor how much they gain from battles. The player only has access to the HP, MP and Level numbers. Unlike other RPGs, levels don't cap at 99 but go past that number. For the final boss fight, the player will be at around level 260. The inventory has limited space and items of the same name, don't stack in a single slot. Extra items can be stored in the Sea Lion's vault (the ship). However, the ship isn't available from the beginning of the game. Also, some items in chests are cursed. To be able to use these items, the player has to reach a priest and pay to have the curse lifted. The players have no way of knowing what items they will get, just what kind of item it will be: weapon, consumable or trade item. The curse causes effects like burning and sleep and, sometimes, it makes the walking speed in the map, very slow. Enemies don't leave money behind like most RPGs. The way to make money in the game is to visit a trade shop, buy an item, and take that item to another city for selling at a higer price for profit. Different NPCs in each city look for different items. The player can not just sell the item to any NPC. Most of the selling takes place in Trade Shops but there are NPCs in regular houses that also buy some of the items. When buying items, the player can refuse to pay what the NPC asks for. By doing so, some NPCs will agree to lower the price of the item. By buying trade items, players gain stamps. These can be exchanged in the city of Monaco for special items (for example, a healing stone that never runs out) Unlike most RPGs, the characters don't have equipment. The only exception being the weapon. But these weapons can't (for the most part) be bought in shops. The player has to find them in chests in dungeons. Even then, only 2 of the character get weapons this way. Gulliver, the main character, has a speacial weapon that doesn't change. What changes is the effect it has. These effects are gained by finding extra members for your team. Consumables don't have a description in the game like most RPGs. There are 2 ways to find out their effect: by looking them up in the game manual or by having one of the team members, Tiger, explain the effect while on the ship. However, Tiger is available in CD 2 of the game, past the halfway of the story. The game can only be saved at inns (they have an icon with a H on top of them). These inns also offer the possibility to spend the night and heal HP, MP and status effects (except Curse). However, spending the night at an inn will cost a day (the current day can be seen in the status menu by pressing ). Certains events happen on certain days so the player should keep this in mind. For example, on day 33, the player gets 3 times the ammount of stamps in the trade shop.
