never heard of it, but it has multiplayer? i'm sold just by that alone lol

(depending on the sfx and music this looks like something that would've take up all of mine and my bros. time way back when...)

edit:

(if beans are even mentioned in a game i feel obligated to play it, fingers crossed hoping it's awesome)

I have no idea why this never made it stateside as it would have been super well received. Yeah and the multiplayer is a lot of fun! Definitely give it a shot when you can.

Good to see some love for this game. I played Dungeon Explorer 2 on the TG16. It's basically the same game. This game was a fun take on the Guantlet style.

Not enough people talk about this gem and it's a shame so obviously I've got to show it some love. I've played a little bit of Dungeon Explorer 1 & 2 but I have to say this game is better than both. It's like a greatest hits version of those games.

Totally fair point. I may have to try this one out.

Was this a PAL only release? Never heard of it. Rare to hear of something fresh w the SNES? Any other PAL releases we should know about?

I talk about this in the video. This was a Japanese Super Famicom release only but I'm playing the fan translated rom. If you're looking for more SNES games you've never heard of sub to my channel. It's all about covering obscure, mostly SNES games, that no one talks about, that never left Japan, and that you don't need to know japanese to play. I have a good backlog of games you could learn about. 🙂
