Miscellaneous Falcom Game Questions

[EvaUnit02]

A few questions if anyone might be able to answer them:

-Is Revival Xanadu I/II the same thing as The Legend of Xanadu I/II. If not, how are the games related if related at all?

-Is Vantage Master Version 2 just an updated version of Vantage Master or is it a proper sequel? What about VM Japan?

-What is Mona² (Monarch Monarch)? Is it related to Lord Monarch in any way?

-Anyone hear of Dinosaur for the PC-980? What about Dinosaur Resurrection? What's a synopsis of these games?

Cheers.

1. If you mean the EGG releases, they are remakes of the original PC-88/98 games.

2. Not sure. (A guess is that v1 was not online compatible)

3. It is Lord Monarch online, a sequel to the SNES game, the SNES game is better though.

4. There's an old Falcom game called Dinosaur for PC-88, from '85, I think. There's also a new game in the series released for Windows in 2002, is that the one you mean?

Edit: I found some pictures of the original Vantage master for Windows 95.

Are you saying Revival Xanadu are remakes to the original? If that's the case, where do the PCE Legend of Xanadu games fit in?

1. Revival Xanadu and Legend of Xanadu games aren't related.
2. Vantage Master V2 is an updated version of Vantage Master with a few additional stuffs. VM Japan is a new game (a "sequel") with better graphism and some cool additions.
3. Mona² (aka Monarch Monarch) is a sequel to Lord Monarch games with better graphism. You can try the DEMO from Falcom website. It's NOT Lord Monarch Online.
4. Dinosaur R(esurrection) is a remake of the old pc88/98 game. It's a nice rpg game with mazes a la Dungeon Master, but it's much better
