    Writes Xyno:

    Hey’all…Not Scott here ! I am playing a Randomizer of Ys 3 today…but it is a version I never played so I know the core gameplay will stay pretty much the same but it will be cool to see the differences between this one and the other well-known versions (PCE, SNES, GEN/MD) ! I will run this on my old trustworthy NES so you know the rom is legit ! — This Randomiser is made by my friend Clymax ! You’re the man broder !! 🙂
