Play Times of Lore (Japan) Online
You start as a wanderer with a rusty sword, chasing rumors between villages until dungeons and monsters pull you into something bigger. The world moves around you—NPCs wander, day turns to night—while you piece together grandma’s fireside story.
Times of Lore for the Nintendo Entertainment System was published by Taito in Japan. It arrived during a period when many developers were experimenting with action-adventure hybrids, blending top-down exploration with light RPG elements.
You control a lone hero, moving screen by screen through forests, towns, and caves, fighting monsters with a sword or bow. Your main goal is to gather scattered pieces of a medallion to restore order to the land. The game features real-time combat, simple inventory management, and a day-night cycle that affects which characters you can meet. Progress is steady but can feel slow due to the large, sometimes empty, world. It feels like a quiet, methodical journey where every small discovery matters.
