Beggar Prince, originally known as Xin Qigai Wangzi (Chinese: 新乞丐王子; pinyin: Xīn Qǐgài Wángzǐ; Wade–Giles: Hsin Ch'i-kai Wang-tzu; lit. 'The New The Prince and the Pauper') is a Taiwanese role-playing adventure game for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and PC.[1] It was originally released in 1996 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by C&E Inc. and later ported and released in 1998 on the PC.
An English translation of the Sega Genesis version was produced by the North American company Super Fighter Team. A prototype version was first shown to the public on August 20, 2005, at the Classic Gaming Expo in Burlingame, California.[2] The completed game began shipping to pre-order customers on May 22, 2006, at the price of US$40 per copy. Beggar Prince was the first game for the Sega Genesis to be commercially released in North America since 1998.[3]
