Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga

Fire Emblem: Akaneia Saga (also known as BS Fire Emblem) were four short standalone games that could be downloaded for the Sattelaview add-on for the Super Famicom(SNES). The last time they were broadcast were in 1999. The games take place before the events in Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi. Each game has one map, with the goal to collect the most points before time runs out. Points are collected by defeating enemies, opening chests, visiting villages, and the like. You control a main "lord" character who functions also as the item storage, with the map resetting if your lord character is defeated in battle. The gameplay engine is the same as Fire Emblem: Monshō No Nazo. There is no background music, and most dialogue was voice acting. Characters from Fire Emblem: Monshō No Nazo and Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi make appearances here (retaining their original growth rates), as well as some original characters.

Part 1: Fall of the Palace
The Durhua army, led by Dark Dragon Mediuth, has invaded the palace of Akaneia. You take control of Princess Nina, and her soldiers, as they try to flee from the palace. Blocking their way are Durhua soldiers who you must defeat. The lord character of this chapter is Nina, a bishop. She is accompanied by Boa, a bishop; Thomas, an archer; Midia, a paladin; and Tomth and Michelan, both Armor Knights.
