Faery Tale Adventure is one of those weird, dreamy Genesis games that feels like it wandered in from another era. You start off as this little dude in a massive, scrolling world with no real direction—just a sword, some cryptic clues, and a whole lot of wandering. The music’s got this haunting, almost Celtic vibe that sticks with you, and the graphics are simple but weirdly atmospheric.

At first, I had no idea what I was supposed to do. You talk to villagers, fight monsters that look like they escaped from a storybook, and slowly piece together where to go next. It’s not exactly fast-paced, but there’s something hypnotic about exploring its world. Just don’t expect hand-holding—this is the kind of game where you might stumble into a dragon’s lair by accident and have no idea how you got there.

If you’re into old-school adventure games with a slow burn, it’s worth a look—just be ready for some seriously vague moments.
