I used to have an NES game about 10 years ago that I want to buy again but I don't know what it's called. It was probably Japanese, it has a main character going through I think a green land and it was a top view, and he did miscellanous things like kill people or get rewards or what have you...then there was places where he would enter a hut and have to battle a huge monster there. That's the best way I can describe it sorry. Does anyone know the game I'm talking about?

Wow, that is pretty vague... Startropics? Crystalis? This is all off the top of my head.

It's the Legend of Zelda, he's referring to that.

Kinda vague description, yes, but it was kinda simple to figure out, IMO.

I don't thinks it's Zelda. For one there were no swords or hearts (?) plus the character isn't an elf or whatever. I looked at some pictures and no it's not Zelda...are there any games similar in this layout? Thanks..

Nazo no Murasame-jō, maybe?

Just a wild guess.

I didn't suggest Zelda because... I mean, hey, someone would remember if it was Zelda. Besides, The Legend of Zelda is decidedly hutless.

Metal Gear perhaps?

I can't remember if the game had any huts.

Crystalis doesn't have any huts that I know of. What about Hydlide?

It's something extremely close to Nazo no Murasame-jō and Hydlide in the setting but neither one. Is there some other games that look a lot like these two? Thanks for your help by the way. I'm going to check these two out anyway b/c they look pretty good :-)

No huts, no, but he could've been referring to the dungeons that held the bosses.

It has to be Star Tropics. There were huts right in the first area of the game.

After browing a few thousand games on ebay (I'm pretty sure I have an essay to write) I found one called Destiny of an Emperor which looked really close, and then found the one I was searching for which is..

ta, da da da!

Dragon Power.

:-)

Recommended to all..

and thanks for everyone's help.

Ah, yeah, the Dragon Ball game.

I actually played that game all the way through once, and I still couldn't figure it out from your description.

When I first heard the description I thought of the horrible game Dino Riki. Good thing it wasn't that.
