I've been collecting rpgs (non-strategy) for the Sega Saturn and came across this one the other day. I liked the Chinese setting and it had some sweet box art, so I went ahead and bought it online. I would've liked knowing more about the game, but this one video was the only thing I could find about it: http://www.segagagadomain.com/movie-pages/senkenki.htm
Has anyone played this before? Any general thoughts on it?

Re: Anyone Ever Hear of "Senkenki Kyouden"?
Never heard of it before so I did a little research. It's Taiwanese developed; originally a DOS game that's the first installment in a popular series that's usually known in English as The Legend of Sword and Fairy (though Wiki says "The Magic Sword and the Chivalrous Youngsters" is more accurate). I'm having a difficult time sorting out the release details of the SS version, but it seems to be an adapted port of the Win98 version of the game. I've read Japanese players complaining about the translation, which I find amusing.
Here's another video of the Japanese version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb1z22uOqB0

The 2nd game looks awfully pretty and colorful. ^_^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhS64Xkt_s0

Thanks for the links and info. Doing a search for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" brings up a lot more results than "Senkenki Kyouden," I see. From what I've seen so far, I think I'm going to like it.

Yeah, it seems way awesome. It's so popular in the Chinese-speaking world that there was a TV drama based on it.
