In this episode of PC-88 Paradise I finally play one of the biggest and most important Japanese PC games of the '80s. Falcom's classic , "Xanadu". The game is known to be extremely difficult, and I've never been able to get very far in the game. Will I ever be able to obtain the Dragonslayer and use it to slay the King Dragon???

Thanks to @bowloflentils for bringing my attention to THIS video, which I used clips from.
