Ys III - Wanderers from Ys

Ys III: Wanderers from Ys is a 1989 action role-playing game developed by Nihon Falcom. It is the third game in the Ys series.

Ys III was initially released for the PC-8801 and PC-9801 in 1989 under the title Wanderers from Ys, and versions for the MSX2 and X68000 soon followed. In 1991, a number of console ports were produced: versions for the TurboGrafx-CD, Famicom, Super NES, and Sega Genesis; all of them aside from the Famicom version were released internationally. A remaster for the PlayStation 2 was released by Taito in 2005. A remake Ys: The Oath in Felghana, was released the same year for Windows.

The gameplay of Ys III diverged significantly from other games in the series; it utilizes a side-scrolling camera angle and platformer elements similar to that of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. This is also the final game in the series with the involvement of Masaya Hashimoto and Tomoyoshi Miyazaki before they left to form Quintet.
