Although the game is divided up into chapters, the structure isn’t totally linear – the goal in each given stage is to explore until you find the boss and kill it, which will give you an item to open up the next stage. Released in 1988 for the PC-88 by Bothtec (which would later become the studio known as Quest, who eventually went on to create Ogre Battle), The Scheme is a side-scrolling action-RPG vaguely similar to Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest and Metroid. This connection, along with his Falcom work, is largely the reason why he was hired by Atlus for their Etrian Odyssey / Sekaiju no Meikyuu series for the DS, which hails nostalgically back to the days of 80s computer gaming. Though most North Americans know his name through his work on Revenge of Shinobi, Actraiser and Streets of Rage, he contributed to several obscure games, like Misty Blue and No Life King. Koshiro started his musical career at Falcom, working on Xanadu, Ys and Legacy of the Wizard before going freelance. Hardcore video game music fans might recognize The Scheme as being one of the early works of famed composer Yuzo Koshiro.
