The Black Onyx is a role-playing game developed by Bullet Proof Software. It was released, among other consoles and computers, for the SG-1000 in 1987. It was the last SG-1000 game to be released in card form, and the last to be published by Sega, but it is currently unknown as to whether it was the last SG-1000 game.

The game was followed by The Black Onyx II: Search For The Fire Crystal, which saw its original MSX release in 1984. Read less

Really impressive character sprite creation system, and a huge influence on later early JRPGs, butttttt. tedious like most early RPGs, the lowest form of the classic dungeon crawling concept, and my non-preferred first-person early dungeon crawling perspective. I have an RPG Replay list for when I get fully back into my most-preferred genre--RPGs--and have the time/patience to savor them properly. …
