PAL 98

PAL 98 is a modified, emulator-style release built on the sdlpal project that adapts a classic RPG engine for modern Android devices, adding touch and rocker controls, auto-save, language options and gameplay modifiers. Players who want a more flexible way to replay or experiment with the original experience will appreciate features like automatic progress saving, custom protagonist naming, and optional cheats for testing or convenience. PAL 98 streamlines navigation with clearly mapped buttons and an in-game introduction, while leaving the original game data to be supplied separately due to copyright restrictions.
