Treasure Hunter G (トレジャーハンターG, Torejā Hantā Jī?) is a turn-based tactical role playing game developed by Sting Entertainment and published by Square (now Square Enix). It was released on May 24, 1996. It was published on the Nintendo's Virtual Console service on December 25, 2007 in Japan.
The game was not released outside of Japan. Worth noting is that this was Square's final game for a Nintendo console, released a scant two weeks before they announced their departure from Nintendo, until the release of Chocobo Land: A Game of Dice for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, in Japan.
The main characters are the brothers Red, and Blue, a girl Rain, and a monkey Ponga who would later go on to appear in one of Square's earlier PlayStation games, SaGa Frontier, albeit with radically different roles.
Famous quotes containing the words treasure and/or hunter:
“And who, in time, knows whither we may vent
The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
This gain of our best glory shall be sent,
T’enrich unknowing nations with our stores?
What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
May come refined with th’accents that are ours?”
—Samuel Daniel (c.1562–1619)
“This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
