Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole, called Landstalker: Koutei no Zaihou (ランドストーカー皇帝の財宝) in Japan, is a role-playing action-adventure game by Climax Entertainment released for the Sega Mega Drive in 1992 in Japan and in 1993 in the US and Europe, where it was also translated to French (Landstalker: Le Tresor du Roi Nole) and German (Landstalker: Die Schätze von König Nolo).

Nigel (Ryle in Japan and Niels in Germany) is a treasure hunter working for pay.
