[edit] Story
Lupin is out to steal a couple of antique pitchers which will supposedly show the way to the legendary treasure of King Randolph II. The mysterious Theodore Hannewald is planning to display them at an exhibition at his ancestral castle in Goldengasse (an European city heavily inspired by Prague), but might have something more in mind. In any case, he doesn't want them stolen and has put inspector Zenigata in charge of security.
Also, young Theresa Faust, the owner of the pitchers, seems to be troubled by something - and it's not like Lupin to desert a fair maiden in distress!
[edit] Characters
Playable characters include Lupin, Jigen and Goemon + a super deformed version of Fujiko in a mini-game.
[edit] Music
The soundtrack is composed of music by Yuji Ohno, who has done most of the music for the anime series.
[edit] Trivia
The Sorcerer King, Randolph II, is most certainly inspired by real-life Rudolph II. This is also in keeping with Goldengasse being Prague in disguise, as the latter actually is nicknamed "The Golden City". Another clue to the location of the game is that Lupin, dressed as a train conductor, wears a cap with the inscription "Czech".
