Need to identify Sega Mega Drive game - Donna?

[ShinobiMan]

OK, I'm baffled that I cannot find info on this Japanese import I owned as a child. It's a game I've always come to know as Donna.

You play as a female warrior who traverses around a mid evil Japan battling enemies with her sword. Think of it as an extremely violent Valis.

You also at one point get to ride a beast monster, and I know for a fact that the 2nd level had you fighting inside a burning building. Graphics were great, game play was challenging, and it was never released in the US, only Japan I believe.

There was also a cheat you could do where by jumping into a pit of death you could become invincible. Kinda like the Mega Man 3 trick.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Funny you mention this, I was just playing this via emulation a few days ago. Cool game.

Fantastic! Thanks Damaramu, I thought I was losing my mind, but now I realize I lost it years ago when I claimed to be a 3DO fan...

Seriously, loved that game. I believe we sold it back in the day, but I'm going to emulate this thing and get a fresh take on it after all these years.

Glad I could help!
