Legendary warriors of light fought them with the ancient and modern weapons of the time, and drove Dark Dragon into another dimension.
But Dark Dragon vowed that in a thousand years he would be able to break through the inter-dimensional barrier, back into this world.
A thousand years of peace and tranquility passed.
The people of the world were happy to live their lives in contentment, able to spend time rediscovering the magical and technological wonders destroyed by Dark Dragon and using them to benefit all people.
But the kingdom of Runefaust has begun a massive attack of the kingdoms of Rune - intending to help Dark Dragon return to this world.
A small band of warriors has been sent out on a dangerous journey to fight against the dark forces of Runefaust.
Shining Force is a tactical role-playing game.
As the player character makes his way through the lands of Rune, he is joined by other warriors who wish to stop the forces of Runefaust.
Each warrior has their own strengths and weaknesses.
As the player progresses through the game the characters gain new weapons and spells.
About Sega Game Gear
Sega's Game Gear (1990) was a technically capable handheld competitor to the Game Boy, notable for its full-color backlit screen — a real advantage at the time, offset by famously poor battery life. Its commercial underperformance against Nintendo's handheld means smaller print runs overall, and complete, well-preserved cartridges (the plastic shells are prone to yellowing and cracking) are a genuine niche within retro handheld collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya for Sega Game Gear with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GG release dates back to 1993.
