In this episode of PC-88 Paradise, I finally learn how to play Falcom's classic, "Sorcerian", which was a huge hit action RPG in Japan which received several expansion packs! The game was also released in North America for MS-DOS PC's. Can I actually learn to play and finish the original PC-88 version of the game?!
