Aigiina no Yogen: From the Legend of Balubalouk (アイギーナの予言 バルバルークの伝説より, lit. "Legend of Prophecy from Aigina Barubaruku")[2] is a Japan-exclusive video game for the Family Computer that was released in 1986.
This video game is the spiritual sequel to an arcade game known as Balubalouk no Densetsu, which was also only released in Japan. Jason, our hero, needs to rescue Princess Laira, the daughter of Aighina (Aigiina). She is the only one knows how to use Aura Stars; which must be collected in five dungeons and re-united in the sixth. Players have to kill enough enemies to uncover a ladder in order to progress. Some stages also contain secrets and may have additional methods to continue in the game.
A very early version of a partial English patch was released before the translation project was completed. The patch will translate the menu items, but very little else.
