Columbus - Ougon no Yoake — About this game
"Columbus: Golden Dawn" is a Famicom RPG in which 14-year-old Columbus departs from the port of Genoa as a sailor's apprentice. He listens to people's stories in various places, searches for items, gains experience with his friends, acquires a large ship, and aims for the other side of the sea. On land, you can investigate and fight while walking in towns or on the ground, and while you're sailing, you'll have to deal with pirates and storms. There are three ways to play: normal where you can enjoy a normal adventure, difficult history with a time limit, and a Hansen game where you only practice sea travel. Normal and History games can be restarted from saved data, but Hansen games do not support saving. I want to organize the clues I got from the conversation and move forward while confirming my next objective.
