For this month's "Maps Of The Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to Troy Lundin's, Tropicon's and Paco's Sword Of Mana (GBA) maps.
Sword Of Mana is the prequel to Secret Of Mana, as well as a remake of the Game Boy game Seiken Densetsu (as it's known in Japan), also known as Final Fantasy Adventure (in North America) or Mystic Quest (in Europe). Like any other Mana game, it features gorgeous graphics and captivating gameplay.
You know what I really love? If you haven't guessed it, I love maps of RPGs, thoroughly marked with everything I would need to know. I mean, wow, just look at the "Hot House" in this game. Despite being a small area, there's so much info there! That truly is hot. And though the majority of the maps featured as Maps Of The Month were each created by a single person, it's such a wonderful thing when people can work together to create something beautiful. Troy Lundin created the raw maps, then Tropicon and Paco filled in the sprites and details. That's teamwork!
So to recognize the effort put into working harmoniously, Troy Lundin's Tropicon's and Paco's Sword Of Mana (GBA) maps will be known as VGMaps.com's Maps Of The Month for February 2012.
