Lunar: The Silver Star is a tale of love and adventure which has been remade more than most games in history. First released in 1992 for the SEGA CD, it has existed in one form or another on different consoles, handhelds and even phones. Most agree that the definitive version is the original PlayStation’s Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, the version we played for the podcast this fortnight.
Alex dreams of becoming the next Dragon Master, one of the storied heroes of legend, but he has a long way to go before attaining those dreams. For now, Alex is simply content with exploring a forgotten dragon’s cave in search of treasure.
