The story of Alex, a boy from Burg who dreams of becoming a Dragonmaster like his hero Dyne, has been told several times since Game Arts' original Lunar: The Silver Star on the Sega CD. Lunar Legend is the 2002 Game Boy Advance retelling, developed by Media Rings and published in North America by Ubi Soft.
It follows the same broad plot as the earlier versions: Alex, his childhood friend Luna and the winged cat Nall set out on a journey that grows into a fight against the Magic Emperor. Structurally it is closer to Silver Star Story Complete on PlayStation than to the Sega CD original, but it was reworked for a cartridge, so the voiced anime cutscenes were replaced with still images and text, and some events were trimmed or changed. Battles remain turn-based, with characters moving around the battlefield. It is lighter and easier than the CD versions, which suits short handheld sessions.
Tips for Lunar Legend
Character positioning matters in battle, since units have to move into range before attacking.
Stock up on healing items before long dungeons; towns are often far apart.
