    Yep, it exists and was officially released back in 1989. The port
was produced by the same team who did Test Drive II and Grand
Prix Circuit, so you got that lousy looking EGA color palette. On 
the other hand the quality of the music (like the other two games)
was excellent--some of the best sounding in-game music on the GS!
(not just the themes, but the Ensoniq generated music).

    I played and finished it back in the early 90's, pretty enjoyable.
The gameplay is similar to other overhead RPG scrollers, like the
Nintendo Zelda series. It was a game that benefitted when a 
ZipGS or TransWarp GS accelerator was installed (I played it
all the way through on a stock 2.6 MHz GS though).
