Mystaria: The Realms of Lore

From Sega Retro

Reason for name change to Blazing Heroes?

Been thinking about this for a bit, would love some input... So "Mystara" is the land in which the majority of Dungeons & Dragons campaigns take place, it's like the main land. Whether or not the original Japanese name was based off that, or just a coincidence seeing a both derive from the word "mystery", it looks like the name got them into some copyright trouble.

Would anyone have any sources/references that would specifically tie this game's copyright troubles and rerelease to any of these companies (either TSR, Inc. of DND fame, or possibly Wizards of the Coast)? I can't imagine any other companies with relevant property that would otherwise have an issue here. Any leads? EDIT: More information. When the game was re-released, SoA specifically noted that this game was previously known as "Mystaria: The Realms of Lore", and now there's no trademark notice on the name...

Mystara (TSR, Inc.) 1, 2, 3, ... despite the similarity, the names are different... it was probably Sega of Japan who asked Sega of America for the change of name ... because it was too similar to "Mystara"... dunno...--Asagoth (talk) 23:21, 22 October 2021 (EDT)
