Action role-playing game
An important influence on the action RPG genre was the 1986 action-adventure, "The Legend of Zelda", which served as the template for many future action RPGs. In contrast to previous action RPGs, such as "Dragon Slayer" and "Hydlide," which required the player to bump into enemies in order to attack them, "The Legend of Zelda" featured an attack button that animates a sword swing or projectile attack on the screen. It was also an early example of open-world, nonlinear gameplay, and introduced new features such as battery backup saving. These elements have been used in many action RPGs since.
Neutopia
"Neutopia" is widely regarded as a clone of the popular Nintendo game "The Legend of Zelda" in nearly every aspect. Many reviewers have praised the game for making noticeable improvements over "Zelda", but various shortcomings – which include long passwords, repetitive gameplay, and poor collision detection – prevent the game from being superior over the 1986 Nintendo title. But overall, reviewers have called "Neutopia" one of the better video games of its type and one of the better titles in the TurboGrafx-16 library. There would eventually be a sequel to the game "Neutopia II", in which Jazeta disappears and his son sets out to find him.
