1. STORY AND CHARACTERS
=======================
STORY
Long time ago, in a rich family, there was a girl called Lady. She was restive
and created disasters wherever she went. Her father locked her in an isolated
house in the courtyard. In addition, he sent 2 men to guard her:
cook-and-bodyguard Corks and home-tutor-and-gardener Yoshio. With ability to
cast spells, these 2 men were able to foil all Lady's attempts to escape.
Today, their never-ending battle continues...
Lady is studying enthusiastically with Yoshio. Yoshio gets suspicious and
searches the room for bombs but finds none. He continues lesson with a book
about mysterious Deathland island. She wants to read alone and send Yoshio out.
Yoshio and Corks talk loudly outside the door and Lady chases them off. She
cannot read ancient writing well but instinctively wants to go to Deathland.
She tries to escape again but Yoshio and Corks know what she is thinking. Lady
makes Yoshio uses his fireball spell. After a lot of misses, the house gets
burned down and Lady escapes.

5. COMMENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
================================
Comments:
This game is highly similar to Landstalker, an action role-playing-game
released on Genesis, but is released at a later date. There is no evidence in
the game to show that both stories are linked.
-The world is in realistic 2D isometric view, same as Landstalker.
-You control a character with 2 computer-controlled followers, a refreshing
change.
-Encounter has changed to random type while combat is still action based.
-The map is bigger, but sadly resulted in more time wasted in moving from one
spot to another and lost of graphical details.
-The pace of the game is ruined by random battles and poorly-designed map.
-Action-wise, jump is substituded by dash. It makes game play bit of funny as
jump is one of the most basic moves in action games, not dash.
-The characters still do not have a shadow.
-Storywise Lady Stalker pales significantly compared to Landstalker, not much
suspense or turns in plot and filled with irrelevant weirdos.
-Music has not improve beyond Shining series and Landstalker.
On the whole this is a average title from a company who has given us great
games like Shining and the darkness, Shining force and Landstalker. Still worth
a play if you can spare 10+ hours or is a Landstalker fan.
Acknowledgement:
GameFAQs - The unbelievable time and effort sacrifices made, which make mine
looks like nothing in compare.
