Madara (魍魎 戦記 MADARA, Mōryō Senki MADARA) is a Japanese manga series, light novel series, role-playing video game, OVA, and radio drama series.
The Famicom Mōryō Senki MADARA was a Konami 1990 release that has never been officially localized. It was large for its time at 4 megabits, and used the "VRC6" sound enhancement mapper chip that was also used in Akumajō Densetsu, the Japanese version of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. It differed from the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest RPGs of the time in that it had movement around battlefields rather than stationary turn-by-turn movements. An orchestrated soundtrack was released by Konami's KuKeiHa CLUB on 21 April 1990.
A sequel to the Famicom Madara, Mōryō Senki MADARA 2, was released for the Super Famicom in 1993. It was 12 megabits and enhanced many of the adventure elements of the original.
Another role-playing game, Madara Kindergarten Saga (Youchien Senki Madara or 幼稚園戦記まだら) was released for the Super Famicom by Datam Polystar in 1996.
