The Faery Tale Adventure is a Sega Mega Drive role-playing game developed by New World Computing and published by Electronic Arts. A port of the titular 1987 MicroIllusions game The Faery Tale Adventure, it was first released in the United States and Europe in July 1991, with an Australian release following soon after.

Versions
This version of the The Faery Tale Adventure is the only home console port the game has received. However, due to its reliance on using a standard game controller (as opposed to the original's keyboard and mouse), it has gained a reputation as being inferior to the original Amiga release.
Six Button Control Pad compatibility
While the game is technically compatible with the Mega Drive's official Six Button Control Pad, the D-pad is overly sensitive, and appears to move the cursor for each frame the pad is held, resulting in the menus being extremely difficult to navigate.
