Faxanadu is a side-scrolling action RPG for the Famicom and NES, initially released in Japan in 1987 and later worldwide in 1990. It serves as a side-story of Xanadu, the second installment of Falcom's Dragon Slayer series. The title "Faxanadu" is a portmanteau of "Famicom" and "Xanadu." The game follows a protagonist's journey to restore a ravaged tree village by battling monsters, solving puzzles, and upgrading abilities.
