Virtual Hydlide

The player takes on the role of a hero on a quest to defeat an evil demon named Varalys who has turned the princess of Hydlide into three fairies.^[3][4] Before confronting Varalys, the hero must find the fairies and three magical jewels to restore the princess to her regular self.

Virtual Hydlide is a role-playing video game in which the player roams the world (the titular Hydlide), searching through dungeons for weapons and armour. Virtual Hydlide differs by leveling the player character up only after completing certain objectives of the game, whereas most RPGs level the player character up once they have obtained a certain number of experience points.^{[citation needed]}

A different game world is generated each time a new game is started; instead of traditional random dungeons, the developers of Virtual Hydlide actually designed more than 20 different level maps for each of the seven dungeons, as well as more than 20 different maps for the overworld. When starting a new game, the maps for the dungeons and overworld are randomly selected from their designated level sets. Thus, though every dungeon design was created by a human designer rather than a random level generator, there are more than 25 billion possible game worlds. Moreover, each game world is identified with an alphabetic code which may be entered when starting a new game, allowing players to replay favorite level designs or compete for high scores on identical worlds. Non-boss enemies do not appear in set locations, and continuously respawn in randomly determined locations.
