About Stormlord
Badh the queen has imposed a terrible vengeance on the land by kidnapping the fairies. To restore things their rightful way, you must rescue them. As you progress through the levels of platform-adventure action, you will come across fairies which are rescued by touching them. Enemies include Venus Fly Traps, localized acid rain showers and dragons, which can be avoided or shot in the bonus shoot 'em up sections. You will need help to reach some levels; this comes from Mael Dvin the Eagle.

A cute fairy-rescue platformer that reviewers found likeable but repetitive.
Stormlord began on home computers, and Punk Development ported it to the Genesis for the American publisher RazorSoft. It came out in North America in 1991 and in Japan on 27 March 1992, published there by Micro World. To publish it in the American market RazorSoft asked Punk Development to add clothing to cover the fairies' bare breasts.
Sega Pro reviewed the import and described a cutesy adventure game with intriguing, not difficult puzzles that is instantly likeable but ends up repetitive and rather boring.

“Three cheers for a hack and slash cart that features action-packed gameplay where you use your mind as well as your controller to acheive ultimate victory. Original gameplay bolstered by gorgeous graphics and nifty sound effects should enable this cart to take gamers by storm!”
“The game play's complex and interesting, the action is nonstop, the sounds and images are excellent and the game is obviously different enough from any competition”
“Put bluntly, even the Spectrum version beats this hands down in the playability department. Avoid.”

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle. The Japanese loose cart usually costs more than the US one, while a complete Japanese copy usually costs less. The Japanese cartridge has a different shape and needs an adapter or two plastic tabs removed from a Western console's slot. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
