I have posted movie files, a music sample, and emulation shots to the
link above, along with a pre-review text of the game up through the
third dungeon as quoted below. As Beggar Prince is sold out now, I'm
not sure this will help anything, but I thought those who haven't seen
it yet might like a review.
Graphics
Beggar Prince runs at standard Genesis resolution of 320x240 and fairly
standard scroll speed and animation for an RPG. With no more than 32
colors on screen at once, this game technically only displays half of
the Genesis' maximum simultaneous color count of 61 colors on screen.
However, skilled art design causes each screen to be packed full of
details and color gradients not seen in most other RPGs on the system.
The main character has a variety of animations, such as cocky
expressions to the player, falling asleep, waving his arms when falling,
etc.

remember, Beggar Prince is 10 years old, it was released in 1996, about
three years after Phantasy Star IV came out in Japan.

Yup, that is posted at the top of the media section.

Ah fuck, I completely forgot about that. Dammit that sucks. I wonder
what it is about the 32X that won't allow you to save? Also, no X'eye?
What's the deal with that?

Yeah, it won't play at all on the X'eye, it may actually break
Laseractive modules, and it won't save on a 32X. The reason stated is
that none of these systems existed in Taiwan, so the game wasn't
originally tested for them.

Seems odd. I mean, I always heard that, when playing Genesis games through
it, the 32X was just as pass-through device...can't imagine what it would be
that wouldn't allow *saving* on the game. You'd think that saving would have
to do with the game and its battery, not the actual Genesis unit. As for the
X'eye, there's not even a 32X to mess with that whole thing...wonder what the
deal is there. Ah well...

How the hell would it break a Laseractive?

I dunno, my friend in town who was using one said it was working
fine, then he plugged in Beggar Prince and the damned thing stopped
working entirely, CD player and all. It could be a fluke, but with the
X'eye just not even playing the game, I wouldn't test it on a
Laseractive if I owned one.
