Description

"Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque: La Légende d'or" is a classic action-adventure game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) that was inspired by the popular manga and anime series "Saint Seiya." Released exclusively in French-speaking territories, this game follows the quests of Seiya and his fellow Knights of the Zodiac as they strive to protect the reincarnation of the goddess Athena and fight against the forces seeking to overthrow her. Players navigate through various levels, each corresponding to the Zodiac houses defended by the powerful Gold Saints. The gameplay combines side-scrolling action with elements of combat and platforming, testing players' reflexes and strategic thinking.

Noteworthy for its adaptation from a beloved anime series, the game stood out during its time for incorporating detailed sprites and animations that closely mirrored the distinctive style of the original anime. The challenge in the game arises from the varied abilities of enemies and the need to master special moves specific to each knight, including the well-known "Pegasus Meteor Fist." Despite its regional limitation and the language barrier, "Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque: La Légende d'or" garnered a dedicated following among French-speaking audiences, adding a coveted layer of interactive depth to the narratives many fans grew up watching.
