Collecting & Facts
Probably most common of the master strategy range, although this doesn't detract any from its collect-ability as the cardboard outer box means that over twenty five years of neglect its still difficult to find one with all the pieces and a box that hasn't been squashed under other items in the attic.

Rarity in the UK 6/10 Guideline Price £20 (last eBay price £14.36 in good condition. allow about £7 to ship to UK also and possible customs charges).

Much like Conquest of the world, collectively you shouldnt have too much difficulty obtaining one, but if your looking for a specific country or box style, you may have to wait.

There are limited variations to the product, Strangely the UK release did not tie in with the Videopac Range as we were given the slightly more luxurious Odyssey2 box style over our European counterparts, with a clear vinyl sleeve which reads "For Use With PHILIPS G7000", fortunately this helped keep all the pices too, what would be nice would be if we had some reference to this being VIDEOPAC 42 on it., even the cart inside for the UK was simply a gold labelled Ody2 cart with a PHILIPS G7000 sticker over it.

Game play 

Well I think the game didn't really live up to the packaging, which is beyond reproach the quality of the packaging and associated components is unsurpassed to this day in the world of computer games. In the UK and possibly elsewhere, it came with an outer clear plastic sleeve for added protection, but since I owned my original back in 1983ish , The object of the game is to track your way through the land of Riproria on the high quality board game type map, in each of the castle locations there was a plastic token cover that hid the event about to unfold to the adventurer. lifting the plastic cover you would reveal one of the monster tokens made of copper I think and possibly one of the rings for which you quest. you then using the keyboard overlay select the location type determined by the plastic cover, the enemy type determined by the token and whether a ring was to be had, before doing this you had pre-select what type of mythical creature or class your adventurer was to be and select him/her to battle the monster. you then switch from board game to computer game to do the fight sequence.
