I absolutely live this game! It was one of my first RPG genre game. I was about 5 years old the first time I played it and I loved it so much that I have very clear memories of the game despite that I was so young at the time. It is a must have for video game collectors or anyone who just loves RPG and adventure games! I was lucky enough to find my copy complete in box. The manual is pretty detailed as far as nintendo game manuals go. It has color pictures and goes in to more gameplay detail than you would expect.

Released in 1989, Faxanadu was one of the first RPG games for the NES, to offer a wealth of gameplay depth. Being able to choose your own path, and explore at your own pace was ahead of its time and new to the gaming world. Many people did not grasp the game with enthusiasm because it actually took time to beat and had to think about where to go and how to get there. Most people wanted to finish a level and come back later to finish it, but Faxanadu wasn't in that category. Yes you could save your progress through a Mantra (Password) and come back but you could save at any town and not just after you completed an objective. With over 15 hours of game time to complete, it was also one of the longest games of its time, adding to the dollar value that you paid for it, as well as an awesome replay value, because you always miss something your first time thru. This game is great and offers a level of gameplay depth that was unheard of in its time.Read full review
Two NES cartridges and manuals arrived as described, all in excellent shape. For items like this, a bubble mailer and one thin layer of wrap is not sufficient protection. The games and manuals could easily have been crushed in transit. I highly recommend they do a better job at packaging.

Graphics are good kinda like adventure of link. The story line seems kinda strange but oh well. Like link you visit towns and talk to folks who give you clues as to what you actually need to do. Without a little guidance it would be hard to know where to go and what to do. Biggest problem is as you progress through the game you can't go back to visit towns you have already visited. All in all a good game that's well worth the average price it sells for.

Faxanadu is one of those hidden gems for the NES, and one of the best RPG-type games available for the console. It's a lot of fun to play with a good balance of challenge and progression. The graphics and music are quite good for its time, with each area having its own unique feel and mood, creating an immersive experience. Your equipment actually shows up on your character, which is a nice touch. The controls are good, with good hit detection for attacks and the fights are satisfying. It uses a password system to save your progress which works well, just snap a photo of the screen with your phone. I never knew about this game until recently and it quickly became one of my favorites! Highly recommended.
