Miracle Warriors is much like the system it is designed for: it's the lesser competitor in a competition it was never meant to win. The SMS went up against the NES in the late 80's and, while a success in Europe and South America, it never caught on here in the US. It sold respectably, but the NES was a 20 to 1 favorite in terms of sales outright. Miracle Warriors was up against Phantasy Star, a game that spawned several sequels and still does even today (see the PSP games). The game itself is fairly rudimentary. Think Dragon Warrior or poor-mans Phantasy Star when a battle begins. The graphics are not much to look at but the game itself is fairly large, taking a solid 30 hours to finish. Anyone ever play Final Fantasy on the NES through to the end? They are about the same length. What Miracle Warriors lacks in originality though, it almost makes up for in fun. There are several enemies and they are quite diverse. The map screen is unique in that the game uses a square to move as opposed to the actual characters as in games like Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy. In the end, for the money, Miracle Warriors is a winner. It's hard to find so much game for so little money. A solid PS3 title these days will give the player around 20 hours of game time to complete. Miracle Warriors gives someone 50 to 100% more playing time of monster hunting, albeit at the graphical equivalent of a typewriter. Give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.Read full review
The graphics are simple, the gameplay is a grind, and you need the map to solve the end but this RPG predates Phantasy Star in the Master System. It was the first one I played and I had to play it again. They have evolved in every way since this game but it is a great feeling to experience it over again.

Miracle Warriors came out about the same time Phantasy Star Hit the scene. It is not as good as that game, but it is a fairly good RPG for it's time. You start with one character and then search for three others. One down side is that the other characters start out at a very low level once you find them. The music and graphics are good, but the game lacks a good story line. It does have battery back up and should be considered to those that are hard core eight bit RPG players. You can pick one up at auction for a little under $5.00. If you are trying to find a complete version, it may cost and little more because the map is hard to find in good shape. A good ebay store will sell a complete copy with cart,box,instructions and map for $10-$20. Thanks, Master Mark S. Kanaar
Awesome game!

This is a true RPG classic! An epic game full of exploring, monsters, inigmas and adventure. A difficult game, too. So, if you like RPGs and a challenge, this might be a good item for you to have. It is also a very rare game, being an excellent piece for your collection.
