Bought Crystalis, Guardian Legend, and Faxanadu (cart only) at the Starland Warehouse in Fairfax this weekend. NES games are pretty useful now that I have an FC Twin.

Faxanadu is actually part of the Dragon Slayer series, so it's got a bunch of sequels and prequels for a whole bunch of different consoles/PCs.  As far as Famicom/NES goes, there was Romancia for the Famicom (which never got translated) and Dragon Slayer IV: Drasle Family, which was translated as Legacy of the Wizard for the NES.

That explains it. I always wondered why it was IV.

No, not quite.  The Dragon Slayer series is confusing.  Xanadu is Dragon Slayer II, and has three parts.  Faxanadu is Xanadu part III.  Romancia is Dragon Slayer III.  Dragon Slayer IV is, well, Dragon Slayer IV.

This sums it up pretty well:

Here's a more in-depth look at the series.  It's a good read!  Be sure to notice the links towards the top of the article that take you to the other games in the series:
