You play a young traveler and warrior in Brain Lord who is searching for his long lost father. Your father told you about your village's legacy as Dragon Warriors who could control and fly on dragons. However, the dragons disappeared, and your father went to find the legendary Tower of Light, where he might have found the last dragons. Years passed, and now you've finally found the Tower of Light.
The game is an action RPG with a focus on dungeon exploring. You fight enemies in real time using various weapons with different ranges. You can equip armor and shields to protect yourself. On your quest, you'll find magical jades that summon fairies who will fight alongside you. The fairies have special attacks and level up after fighting, but are controlled by the computer. There are also puzzles to solve in the dungeons, and you can jump to navigate.

Next, select the COPY option. Move the cursor to the place you wish to put the item and press the B BUTTON.
Toss Items
To toss items you do not want any longer, select the item and choose TOSS. You will be asked if you are sure you want to discard. Say "Yes" to get rid of the item, or say "No" to keep it.
You cannot discard items you still need.
Magic Menu
Choose MAGIC in the Main Menu to view your spells. You cannot choose this option if you have no spells.
In the magic window, put the highlight box around a spell and push the B BUTTON. A brief description of what that spell does will appear.
Config Options
When you select the CONFIG option on the Main Menu, you will be given three other options:

•

Saving Your Progress
Enter Inns or talk to statues and you will get the opportunity to save. Once a game is saved, you can turn off the control deck.
You can continue the game later from the point where it was saved by selecting CONTINUE in the Option Screen.
Inns
Inns don't always have signs posted outside because they can attract bandits. Innkeepers will ask if you would like to stay.
If you stay, your Life Meter is refilled for a price. If not, you are asked if you would like to record your progress, which saves your game.
Statues
Statues will often share words of wisdom with you. Some have learned much that will help you.
They will also offer to record your progress, which is the same as saving.
Casting Magic
Throughout your search, you can find up to 13 magic spells. Some you must buy, while others you will discover.
Before casting a Magic Spell, make sure it appears in the Magic window on the Play screen. Push and hold the B BUTTON until the meter is full, then release.
The Crone
Speak with the old woman whenever you see her. To buy her wares, stand across the table from her.
Save your gold for these encounters and purchase everything she sells.
Using Keys
Your search will be blocked by a great many locked doors. When one blocks your path, try the keys in your inventory.
To do so, stand facing the door. Go into the item window, choose a key, and then select USE. If none of your keys open the door, you must explore the area to find the one that will.
Collect Keys
You will be faced with 48 locked doors, each requiring its own key. Therefore, you should never pass up the chance to add a key to your inventory.
Once you have used a key, it will be discarded.
Fairies
When released from its Jade, the Fairie will stay close and use its magic to help you. Only two can be released at a time.
To release a Fairie, go into the Main Menu, select the Jade, and choose USE. To put a Fairie back, select the empty Jade and choose USE.
Growing Fairies
Each Fairie gains Experience Points by collecting Blue Spheres of Fairie, which are worth 50 points. Only a released Fairie can pick up a Sphere.
If two Fairies are out, the fastest one takes the Sphere.
