About this game
This game brings to life a 19th century Chinese love story between an emperor and his mistress.

Explore one of China's most historic and beautiful locations, Yuan Ming Yuan (the Garden of Perfect Brightness ), where Lotus Spring spent her life after being banished to that place by the jealous Dowager Empress CiXi, the emperor's first wife.
Wander leisurely through lush Chinese gardens, flower-bordered pathways and authentically recreated buildings as the bittersweet story unfolds.
You'll learn about the culture and traditions of China as a natural part of the storytelling.
As objects are examined, collected and used you'll unlock Feng's memories of his relationship with Lotus Spring one by one.
The game employs still graphic backgrounds with QuickTime technology for motion and video cut-scenes.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Lotus II for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Lotus II to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1993.
