Summary

Madou Monogatari A: Doki-doki Vacation is a quirky RPG that landed on Sega’s Game Gear in late 1995, exclusively in Japan. The title, whose Japanese name translates to “Excited Vacation,” is a remake of the first part of the A‑R‑S saga within Compile’s Madou Monogatari series. Though the game never received an official English patch, it resurfaced on the Project EGG retro‑distribution service in February 2024 under the simplified name Madō Monogatari A. That re‑release preserves the original Japanese text, offering modern players a chance to experience the nostalgic, turn‑based adventure on contemporary hardware. It remains a hidden gem for collectors who enjoy digging into obscure handheld RPGs.

Storyline

In Madou Monogatari A: Doki-doki Vacation, Arle spends her summer vacation visiting her grandmother and exploring the forest that surrounds the house. She soon catches wind of a construction company headed by Satan that intends to raze the woods to make way for a recreational area. Determined to protect the forest, Arle sets off to take on Satan’s crew. The intro features Skeleton‑T, Sasori Man and Suketoudara as members of the construction staff, chasing Arle into the forest and launching the game’s adventure.
