Paladin's Quest

Paladin's Quest, originally released as Lennus: Kodai Kikai no Kioku (レナス 古代機械の記憶, "Lennus: Memories of an Ancient Machine") in Japan, is a utopian/dystopian science fantasy role-playing video game developed by Copya System and published in Japan by Asmik Corporation on November 13, 1992, for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The game centers on a boy named Chezni who, on a dare, activates an ancient machine called Dal Gren and in doing so releases a being of immense power and evil.

During his travels he meets a girl named Midia, very much like himself, who wishes to help him on his quest, and numerous other mercenaries that come to aid Chezni.

The main antagonist is a young dictator named Zaygos, who wants to use the Dal Gren for his own nefarious purposes.

The player character travels through dungeons, towns, and an overworld map, battling in random encounters.

From each battle, characters accrue experience points, which eventually lead to higher levels, and better attributes.

A promotional MiniDisc containing 10 tracks with the game's original music was released by Asmik under the title Welcome to the Lennus World!.

"[4] Zy Nicholson reviewed the game as an import in British magazine Super Play.

He is the only character central to the player's party; other members are recruited and may be dismissed if a superior replacement is found.

The music was critically acclaimed, and two tracks were recorded by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra for release on the Orchestral Game Concert compilations.
