Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a supernatural action-adventure game where players control Jojo, a young man with psychic powers, as he journeys to Egypt to defeat the resurrected villain Dio and save his mother from a mysterious illness. Players will battle Dio's minions and uncover the secrets behind their powers.
Story
Dio's Revenge
At the end of the 19th century, Sir Joster, a nobleman, lived on a country estate in England with his ward, Dio. Sir Joster had been Dio's guardian since Dio's father saved Joster's life and sacrificed his own under mysterious circumstances.
Dio, however, was not grateful. He plotted to take possession of Sir Joster's fortune. Disguising himself with a strangely powerful mask, Dio became an immortal monster.
He waged war on Sir Joster but was repeatedly driven off by Sir Joster's true son, Jonathan. After a series of long, vicious battles, Dio was defeated and imprisoned deep under the ocean.
One Hundred Years Later
One hundred years have passed. A bizarre iron coffin is discovered near the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
In Japan, Jotaro Kuja, known as Jojo, awakens feeling very weird. Something strange happened to him during the night; he felt as if another being were taking over his psyche.
Recently, Jojo's mother, Holley, had fallen seriously ill. She had been overcome by "the Stand," an overpowering, mysterious, psychic inner persona that would attack without warning. Jojo wonders if he is also affected by the Stand.
That day, Jojo learns the cause of his mother's mysterious condition: Dio has risen from the deep!
Journey to Egypt
To defeat Dio and save Holley, Jojo and his friends head to Egypt. There, they hope to discover the answer to the puzzling illness and unsettling dreams.
However, legions of Dio's savage minions will do anything to stand in their way.
