Originally released in arcades in 1990, Rod Land has become a memorable single-screen platformer. Japan's Jaleco wanted to bring its new hit to the West with its main publishing partner, porting it to a number of home consoles and PCs across Europe such as Amiga, ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. Shortly afterwards, in 1992, it was also released on NES® PAL and Game Boy® but limited only to Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. At the time, SNES® and SEGA Genesis®-Mega Drive® were all the rage in North America and Europe so, perhaps for that reason, this port of Rod Land never saw a physical release in the US and some other countries. We are therefore happy to offer this fun arcade hit for everyone to enjoy this magical title!

The once calm and quiet Fairy Village has been attacked! Dark magic has turned the normally docile wildlife into hostile fiends and Tam and Rit have had their mother kidnapped! They will need to don the magic rods and rainbow shoes that their late father passed down to them and venture into Maboots Tower to rescue her. Take this portable adventure on the road through 40 scenes and partner up with a friend in 2-player hot-seat mode in its first official release in North America on the Game Boy®.
