Märchen Veil & Super Lode Runner

Two complete Famicom Disk System games showed up in my mailbox this week; Märchen Veil and Super Lode Runner. Most of my Famicom Disk System games I order from an online shop called Japan Retro Direct
( https://japanretrodirect.ocnk.com ).

Märchen Veil is an action adventure game that incorporates traditional top-down hack and slash game play with text-heavy visual novel sections. The title was initially released for several Japanese home computers such as the MSX, the PC-88, the PC-98, the X1, and the FM-7 and was later ported to the Famicom Disk System in 1987.

Another port, Super Lode Runner was released for the Famicom Disk System in 1987. The original Lode Runner appeared on everything from Apple II, Atari 8-bit computers, and Commodore 64 to name a few. This version is actually a compilation of levels from Irem’s arcade version of Lode Runner and was simultaneously released on Famicom Disk System and MSX computers.
