Sorcerian is an action role-playing game developed by Nihon Falcom Corporation, and the fifth in the Dragon Slayer line of games. It was originally released for the NEC PC-8801 in 1987,

and was later ported to other PC platforms such as the NEC PC-9801, the NEC PC-88VA, the Sharp X1 Turbo, and the MSX 2. An English version for MS-DOS PCs was published by Sierra Entertainment in 1990.

In 1997, Falcom released Sorcerian Forever for Microsoft Windows95/98 -based PCs. In 2000, Falcom released Sorcerian Original, a remake of Sorcerian for Microsoft Windows-based PCs.

In addition, console versions of Sorcerian with somewhat differing content from their PC counterparts were developed: A version for the Sega Mega Drive was developed by Sega, a version for the PC Engine was developed by Victor Musical Industries, and a version for the Sega Dreamcast was developed by Victor Interactive Software.

GLITCHES

Characters do not age
Create a character and age him until the first year he is considered ''old'' by the game. For a Fighter or Wizard, this is 60 years old, for a Dwarf 100 years old, and for and Elf 200 years old. Use that character to battle and have him die. Allow that character to stay dead for 20 years. Take him to town and have the magician resurrect him. If done correctly, this should only have a 10% chance of success. If he is successfully brought back, though, he will no longer age. Use Rejuvenate to bring him to a desirable age.

This was, undoubtedly, a great game for its time. It's no shocker to find out now that it is a pretty rare game - and the same happens to anything pure-game related. However, we have managed to find this opening video, with some bits of credits. Enjoy!
