Capcom's Tower of Doom (1993/94) and Chronicles of Mystara (1996) were phenomenal arcade games created in partnership with TSR in hopes of bringing Dungeons and Dragons to Japan. This is the story of the two games that came to be repackaged as 'Chronicles of Mystara' in 2013, as well as the tale of the legendary Capcom artist, Kinu Nishimura, and how she fused D&D with anime for a Japanese audience.
