Golvellius

Golvellius is an action adventure game for the Japanese MSX home computer system that plays much like The Legend of Zelda. It was developed by Compile and released in 1987.

Sega licensed the franchise in 1988 and released their own remake of the game for the Master System (the Mark III in Japan), featuring enhanced graphics and entirely different overworld and dungeon layouts. This game got released worldwide under the name "Golvellius: Valley of Doom".

Later that year (1988), Compile released yet another remake of "Golvellius" for the MSX2 system. This game featured mostly the same graphics as the ones in the "Sega Master System" version, but the overworld and dungeon layouts are entirely different.

The scenario is the same in all the three different versions of "Golvellius". The ending promised a sequel, but this never happened.
