Game Arts and Studio Alex built Lunar: The Silver Star to prove the Mega-CD could carry a full-scale RPG, and it came out in Japan in 1992, followed by Working Designs' English version in 1993. Alex, a boy from a quiet village, dreams of becoming a Dragonmaster like his late hero Dyne. He sets off with his childhood friend Luna, a gifted singer, and Nall, a small winged creature that bickers with everyone, and the journey grows from a coming-of-age tale into a struggle against a sorcerer with plans for the whole world.
The disc made heavy use of the CD format, with animated cutscenes, voiced scenes, a vocal song by Luna, and an orchestral-sounding score by Noriyuki Iwadare. Battles are turn-based, but characters move around the battlefield, so position and range matter. It became one of the Sega CD's most respected games, and it was later remade as Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and as Lunar Legend on Game Boy Advance.
Tips for Lunar: The Silver Star
Characters must close the distance before attacking, so put fighters in front and keep Luna and other magic users behind them.
Use the AI battle option for easy fights and take manual control for bosses.
Save at every opportunity, because random encounters in dungeons can drain a party quickly.
