Crystalis (GBC - 1990) playthrough, part 4/20 -- Mt. Sabre south

Wandering around Mt. Sabre for way too long, I do find the Tornado Bracelet. It took me quite a while to realize that a fully charged shot costs MP, which made me never actually use fully charged attacks again, other than to see what they looked like. Finally finding Tornel, after congratulating me on finding the bracelet, he tells me Dragonia and his General Kelbesque attacked Leaf, taking all the townspeople (a bit of a hint there in the wording) to Dragonia's Flying Tower. To help me get back there as fast as possible, Tornel teaches me the Teleport spell. I would have thought Telepathy would be needed to talk to the rabbit-like creature in Leaf.

I started using the 2nd save spot just in case there was a power outage happened after saving but before ending the recording. It's a good thing since the Retro Freak started crashing occasionally. Considering it hadn't happened prior makes me think having multiple saves in the game being played might be the cause.

I've never played the NES version, so I can't compare the two. It's generally considered to be much better than this version.

I played this on a Retro Freak, which can play cartridges/cards from around a dozen systems. It has the option of installing the game to a MicroSD card. I played off the MicroSD card.
