Sega Genesis · 2025
About this game
The Secret of the Four Winds is a Japanese-style action role-playing game.
The cartridge contains a custom board with an audio enhancement chip that offers the possibility to enjoy the game with Sega CD / Mega-CD music quality (No actual Sega CD / Mega-CD is required).

This game will make use of that audio chip but it can also be played with the console's original audio if desired.
The player will control 3 different characters at the same time (the player can control any of the 3 characters at any time and the other characters will be controlled by the CPU).
The player can give orders and priorities to the other characters at any time so the companions do what we need them to do.
The gameplay is deep, with some strategy and tactics, character development at will (grow a given character as a tank or as an attacker or healer, etc.).
The story also begins simple and quite typical, but it will evolve and change quite a lot.
The decisions you make during the game will have consequences.
The game should take around 20 to 30 hours to finish (depending on the player) and it has re-playability value since your choices will slightly change some parts of the story and ending.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks The Secret of the Four Winds for Sega Genesis 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 The Secret of the Four Winds 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 GEN release dates back to 2025.
