General: Known
as Warzard in Japan and Red Earth in America... This game
was the first game to run on Capcom's CPS-3 hardware, the first Capcom
system that uses a CDRom instead of expensive EPROMs to hold the game data
(about 50MB).
There
are four heroes and eight bosses; and two game modes, Quest and Versus.
In Versus Mode, you and a friend fight against each other, but you can
only choose from the four main characters. In Quest Mode, you can still
only choose one of the four hero characters, but you play against the eight
boss characters.
Red
Earth also uses a special password system that allows the player to play
the game later on the same skill level he reached when it ended the last
time. The character is able to "learn" special attacks depending on the
skill level that has been reached.

Comment: I've
never played this game! The characters are definitely imaginative and obscure.
Since the game was never seen outside of the arcades, it is one of Capcom's
rarest titles.
