Rod Land

We have shared many many coin operated classic old games. This is one of my most favorite game ever. We recommend you to check this out if you haven’t already. Rod Land (Yousei Monogatari Rod Land, A Fairy Tale) is a 1990 arcade game originally developed and published by Jaleco. Download RodLand PC Game.

The player(s) control one or two fairies called Tam and Rit armed with a magic wand (rod). The rod doesn’t kill the monsters directly, but only leaves them immobilized crying. To kill them, the rod can grasp them in a magic force-field and the player can smash them down over her head until they disappear and leave a power-up behind.

Each level is only one small screen composed of monsters, platforms, ladders and, later, tunnels. The players can never jump, but have to use ladders. They can conjure one custom ladder above or below them in order to go to the appropriate platform. There can be only one such ‘custom’ ladder; therefore if the fairy summons it again, it will disappear from its previous position in order to appear again next to the fairy. This can be beneficial for the player, if a monster is climbing that ladder to approach her.

The fairies’ quest is to rescue their mother, trapped in a tower. They must venture into a pyramid, to stop an evil force that is building a mobile fortress. The spirit of their departed father “guides” them at a couple of points. The ending implies that the evil in the pyramid was somehow responsible for their father’s death.
