Dangerous Tengu Legend

About
Dangerous Tengu Legend: A Revived Tengu Dances in the Night Sky was one of the first games released by AliceSoft. It saw initial release on PC-98 in October 1989, was ported to PC-88 and X68000 in December, to MSX the following February, and lastly to FM-TOWNS in April. The TOWNS port was also released as a part of Alice's Cottage 2 in October 1992.

The story concerns a group of students sent to a mountain camp and onsen. When some of their members come under attack, protagonists Kazumi Kinoshita and Sanae Kanazawa investigate. Could the rumours of a mythical tengu haunting the local temple be true?

Sequels
Dangerous Tengu Legend received several sequels, but never in full-game form. The sequels were also released in a curiously eclectic fashion requiring rather odd purchases to collect the series.

The first continuation was a prequel minigame, "The Night Before the Dangerous Culture Festival," which was only released as a part of the Rance III Option Set.

Two text-only sequels, created by a fan named YOU-san, were also given official release. The first was "Dangerous Tengu Legend 2: Dangerous Culture Festival," a short story available in the Alice's Mansion section of Toushin Toshi II. The second was "Dangerous Tengu Legend 3: Winter Vacation ~Revived Technique God Legend~," which was released spanning the Alice's Mansions of Rance 4.1 and Rance 4.2, in this case available only after beating the respective games. Most of these lengthy and unrelated text sections were translated when the games in question were localized, but they remain accessible. Only the content in Rance 4.2 was translated, but these were only given a perfunctory, possibly machine, translation.
