Sorcerer's Kingdom > Sega Genesis

Your young hero's father had left the home town of Landsdale to hunt down and eliminate the evil forces laying siege to the kingdom. Now, as the young child, you must request permission from the king to step out into the footsteps of your father to explore the wild world and find out what happened to your father! Explore the world, meet new friends and destroy the evil forces wherever you find them!

Wow, this was an amazingly cool Sega Genesis classic! For other greats with a similarly cool vibe you might want to try your hand at Super Spy, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon - Another Story and the incredible Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun!
