...Huh, I don't think I've ever seen this before now.
This is definitely an interesting find. Although it's credited to Waixing, this game
feels like something by Hitek, with two particularly strong pieces of evidence in favor of that theory:
- The internal ROM ID is "BOKUJOU GB2A37J", which is the same ID used for Hitek's "Heroic Sword".
- The music sounds very similar in style to Hitek's known RPGs (and, for that matter, their one known platformer), in part because it seems to use the same sound driver (which, incidentally, appears to be from Link's Awakening).
Did Hitek do contract development for Waixing, I wonder? Or was there some other relationship between the two companies?
Edited to add: Just editing this to add that Taizou had discovered some definite connections between the two companies, but I'm not sure how much specific detail he wants to share in a public post so I'll leave any further disclosure to him.
