Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll is a turn-based RPG developed by Culture Brain, released in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Players control a protagonist embarking on an adventure to uncover a mysterious scroll. The game features classic turn-based combat encounters where players select actions from menus—attacking, casting magic spells, or using items against enemy formations. Character progression occurs through earned experience points, enabling stat increases and access to new abilities. Navigation takes place across overworld maps and dungeon interiors viewed from an overhead perspective. Towns serve as hubs for purchasing equipment, gathering information, and accepting quest objectives. The adventure unfolds through multiple story chapters, with difficulty escalating through increasingly challenging enemy encounters. Players must manage limited health and magic points throughout their journey, balancing offense and defense in strategic turn-based battles.
