questions about Tengai Makyo 2 / Ziria: Far East of Eden 2

[handygrafx]

I remember back in the early 1990s I read a preview for a PC Engine CD-ROM or Super CD-ROM RPG called 'Far East of Eden 2'. It was in one of the TurboGrafx magazines. the thing that stood out about it was the size of the adventure. I remember reading it had thousands of overhead map screens. lots of enemies, bosses, and it was said to be one of the most expensive games ever made.


oh YES! I found the article! It's from the April/May 1992 TurboPlay



God Forever Bless the TurboGrafx-16 Preservation Society and their TurboPlay Magazine Archives! (every page of every single videogame magazine ever printed should be archived like this!!!!)

guys, I know next to nothing about the Tenjai Makyo series. So my question to anyone out their with knowledge about Tengai Makyo 2 aka Ziria: Far East of Eden 2, was the game in fact *that* large, did it have everything that the article above says, like 20,000 overhead screens , 300 enemies, 48 bosses, 90 min of animation, 24 CD music tracks, 80+ chip-generated music tracks, and was it the most expensive game ever made for its time ???
