Super Hydlide is a remake of Hydlide 3: The Space Memories (released in Japan for the MSX and Nintedo Famicom in 1987). The game was developed by Hydlide series veterans T&E Soft and released on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in early 1990 in the United States, October 6, 1989 in Japan, and 1991 in Europe. This remake evidences substantial graphical upgrades to the original Hydlide 3, though the gameplay remains largely identical.[1] Before its release, it was called Hollo Fighter in some Sega advertising material for the Mega Drive.

Story

Many years after the events of Hydlide 2, an explosion of flames appeared near The City of the Woods. After that, enemies were everywhere. A young man is chosen to find the source of the evil.

Gameplay

This game incorporates a 'good/evil character' system. The game has both good and evil monsters. Evil monsters attack the player character on sight, while good monsters only attack if the player character attacks them first. Killing any monster, good or evil, results in a reward of experience points, money, and occasionally a piece of equipment. However, if the player kills a good monster, points are lost from a statistic called "MF" (Moral Fiber). If the player's MF stat drops to zero, frequent traps will appear across the world. If the player manages to keep it over 100, rewards appear in the form of random items found around Fairyland.

Another aspect of the game is the weight system. Every item in the game (including money) has weight. If the total weight of items the player character carries exceeds his LC (Load Capacity), he will move much more slowly.

The character must also eat four times a day and sleep regularly. If the characters fails to eat at a scheduled time or stays up past 11 p.m., his HP and attack power will begin to gradually drop. Staying at an inn will take care of both the character's sleep needs and all meals scheduled during his stay. Thus, if the character buys a room at an inn at 10:45, he will only need to eat two other meals. Meals taken during adventuring are taken care of by carrying food rations; if the character has an available food ration at a scheduled meal time(and is not staying at an inn), the food ration is automatically consumed, restoring some HP and averting hunger.
