About The Game

Cadash features 4 great heroes : a Fighter, a Wizard, a Cleric and a Ninja go on a quest to rescue the captured princess. This Taito adventure game features all the ingredients of traditional Role-Playing-Game (stats, exp, buy upgrade in store...).

Trivia

There are many spelling and syntax errors in the French version texts.

Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Cameltry, Cadash - PCCB-00043) on 21/10/1990.

Updates

The US version is slightly different, it has the 'Winners Don't Use Drugs' screen.

Tips and tricks

  • Debug Mode (in Debug Mode, you will be able to select starting scene, gold, EXP and several items):
  1. Hold Service Switch and reset the game.
  2. Wait until 'Service Switch Error Message' is displayed, then push 'Start(x3), Service, Start'.
  3. The game boots up then insert a credit and select a character.
  4. Enter Debug Mode instead of starting the game.
  • Your character jumps backwards when hit by an enemy. When you're trying to quickly cross some areas where you're likely to take damage, this can be a bad thing; it can cause you to stay in the dangerous area much longer. So, to reduce the damage, turn back just before you get hit. This will cause the impact to push you -forward-, getting you out of danger more quickly.
  • The maximum amount of money you can have is 60,000 Golds.
