The Lord of King (English Translation) NES

Astyanax… Astyanax, I’m wait- Oh, your name is Roche? Oops! My bad!

For those who don’t know the original game for Astyanax was called “The Lord of King”. (No, this was made by Jaleco, not Wisdom Tree.) Names were changed when localized. The hero of the game was not a kid whose name was derived from Greek Mythology. His name was Roche. Other changes were made as well. You’ll see as you play “The Lord of King”.
