Tougi Ou King Colossus (闘技王キングコロッサス) (also known as Tougi-Ou King Colossus, Tougiou King Colossus, or just King Colossus) is a 1992 action RPG developed by Sega, Makoto Ogino, Brainbusters, KNU, and Team D-Axe and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive exclusively in Japan. Ogino, a manga author best known for Spirit Warrior, directed the game and created its story and characters; KNU provided sound. Translation group M.I.J.E.T. created an English language fan-translation patch between 2005 and 2006 (as well as a special patch for people who distaste mild language).

The game stars a wanderer who does not know his own history and has a strange crest on his hand. An elder put this wanderer in charge of guarding his sword, which he stashed in a cave, but the thief Zakkar came in and took it while the wanderer was pre-occupied with something else, and now the elder has persueded him to retrieve the sword... too bad everything else has to go wrong today too!

Gameplay

The game takes a Zelda-like top-down perspective. C jumps. B swings the primary weapon (by default a short sword). A uses a magic power.  START  opens up a menu which displays the status, equip weapons/armor/magic powers, check items, and save.
