Meng Huan Zhi Xing (Chinese: 夢幻之星 拯救地球), also known as Milky Way (Chinese: 銀河之星), is an unlicensed Game Boy turn-based RPG game developed and published in Taiwan by SKOB. It appears to be their only Game Boy game.

Overview

Screenshot of the game.

The game is based on Phantasy Star and Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible. The game additionally uses graphics and music from the Game Boy version of Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible, but otherwise appears to use its own overworld and battle engines, with the game particularly featuring its own battle screen. To become stronger, the player can buy weapons and items.

This game has a unique feature not seen in other turn-based RPGs: in addition to a normal mode, the game also has an "invincible mode". Normal mode has the player start at level 1, but "invincible mode" has the player start at level 16, similar to a "new game plus".
