Summary:
Journey to the West: The Great Sage Equal to Heaven is an action RPG (ARPG) featuring martial arts and romantic elements, released by Legend Software in 1997. Adapted from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West—specifically covering the narrative arc from the "Birth of the Stone Monkey" to the conferral of the title "Great Sage Equal to Heaven"—the game was part of Legend Software's initiative to adapt the "Four Great Classical Novels". It was among the first games in mainland China to experiment with 3D technology; the project was launched to build expertise in 3D tech and was originally intended for bundled sales with Intel, though that partnership ultimately did not materialize. While there were plans to develop the title into a series, the project came to an end following the closure of Legend Software.
