Royal Stone is another game that was sadly never released in the U.S. Can you guess what game this is related to? If you said "Crystal Warriors", give yourself a pat on the back! Royal Stone is the sequel to Crystal Warriors, a little known strategy game for Game Gear that while appreciated, was hidden behind bigger Sega published titles like the Shining Force games. I like this game more than Shining Force because I feel it has more of an emphasis on strategy and the story telling is more elaborate in my opinion (the story scenes are rather dramatic). The tale of Crystal Warriors dealt with a young princess named Iris who was blessed with the element of Earth. She had to fight many battles and she found warriors of other elements (fire, water, and wind) to help her fight in a war to protect the four crystals of Arliel to stop evil from using the power of the crystals to wreak havoc on the world.

There are a few known issues with the game: --In Round 15, there are two major foes - 
an enemy commander and an underling.   If the commander is killed before his 
cutscene with the underling, the game   crashes. --After promoting a character to 
the Evoker class, it's possible to dismiss a   monster that doesn't exist. It's also 
possible to select this monster in   battle, which can cause unpredictable results.
 --Scrolling through the spell list too fast during combat sequences can cause   
incorrect text to be displayed. The spells will still function correctly,   however.
