Faxanadu

Faxanadu is a side-scrolling action RPG, in a somewhat similar vein to Wizards and Warriors. It is part of the Dragon Slayer series in Japan, of which very few games have seen any sort of overseas release.

Unused Enemies
Offset contains the IDs of the sprites visible on the screen. Interestingly, there are six enemies in the ROM which never actually appear in-game. The IDs of these enemies are 18, 29, 36, 39, 43, 70 (all decimal).

Unused NPCs
As well, there are two defined NPCs also never actually appear in-game. The first one is the lovely blue lady with ID 53, the other one is the child with ID 54.

Unused Objects


Four unused objects are mixed in with the item graphics. The first appears to be an orb of some variety, similar in appearance to the Black Onyx, the second is clearly a lantern, the third is some kind of gem or crystal (evidently on a pedestal), and the last is a book. It's unknown what these items were intended for, or if any code exists for them.
