SD Gundam Gaiden – Knight Gundam Monogatari (Japan) is a 1990 fantasy role-playing game released for the NES by Bandai. Based on the Sieg Zion Hen storyline, it takes the iconic mobile suits of the Gundam universe and reimagines them as fantasy characters like knights and mages. You lead Knight Gundam on a classic 8-bit quest to defeat the Zeon forces and save the Lacroa Kingdom.
How to play
Explore towns, navigate the overworld, and engage in turn-based random encounters. Use the arrow keys to move, Z and X (mapped to the NES A and B buttons) to select actions or cancel, and Enter for Start. Assemble your party and utilize physical attacks and special abilities to defeat enemies.
Tips
- Check the Carddass vending machines in towns; collecting these cards allows you to summon powerful characters to assist in battles.
- As a Japanese release, the game uses a traditional Dragon Quest-style menu layout. You can rely on trial and error to learn the positions of standard commands like Attack, Magic, and Item.
