Xanadu is notable for several reasons, including its sales record for computer games in Japan with over 400,000 copies sold there in 1985. It was also one of the foundations of the RPG genre, particularly the action RPG subgenre, featuring real-timeaction combat combined with full-fledged character statistics, innovative gameplay systems such as the Karma meter and individual experience for equipped items, and platform game elements combined with the dungeon crawl gameplay of its predecessor. It also had towns to explore and introduced equipment that change the player character's visible appearance, food that is consumed slowly over time and essential for keeping the player character alive, and magic used to attack enemies from a distance. The following year saw the release of Xanadu Scenario II, an early example of an expansion pack.
A box office flop, Xanadu earned mixed to negative critical reviews and was an inspiration for the creation of the Golden Raspberry Awards to memorialize the worst films of the year. Despite the lacklustre performance of the film, the soundtrack album became a huge commercial success around the world, and was certified double platinum in the United States. The song "Magic" was a U.S. number one hit for Newton-John, and the title track (by Newton-John and ELO) reached number one in the UK and several other countries around the world.

the words-
From mountain to sea and from sea to desert
the feeling of following endlessly paints the moment
A story from the pages of forgotten soul
leads to the wandering of finding a place of comfort
this place surreal and strange
is of this world or the one that is coming
this breath is the breath of life
allowing the mind to see
along this winding way
moments reflect meaning hidden within
offering peace if one chooses to embrace it
From moment to moment and from thinking to action
the feeling of solist permeates the mind with a fleeting feeling of satisfaction
hope lies in the bubbles of infinity like grainules of sand
upon an endless sea rising and falling with the tide of being

From moment to moment and from thinking to action
the feeling of solist permeates the mind with a fleeting feeling of satisfaction
hope lies in the bubbles of infinity like grainules of sand
upon an endless sea rising and falling with the tide of being
this place real or imagined
are the moments we live owned or borrowed
this love is the dream of why
which seldom sees the light of day or feels the darkness of night
aloft upon the wind of vision in mind
as if the wind of conscious intent could carry it
is a place of immense beauty and wonderment
From memories long since held echoes of infinity
greet and await thee from all of your travails
If you happen to make the journey. may it be well (for you)
to witness the reflection of timeless truth that does not exclude
All are one and the meaning of their light is reflected in xanadu

Let me cool out just for a moment Give me a break for a short little while Just let me dream only one second To forget about this crazy time To forget about this crazy time So long I did try - have been patient So long taken things with a smile My worries and my pain never mentioned But now I have to take that what is mine Now I have to take that what is mine Just one moment in peace A bit of enjoyment and harmony A break from the madness that pressure and sadness Yes one and all come and follow me! Let the war cease just for an hour Forget it look forward just leave it behind Your energy and all of your power Is needed to save and to heal this mankind Is needed to save and to heal this mankind Just one moment in peace A bit of enjoyment and harmony A break from the madness, that pressure and sadness Yes one and all, come and follow me! I wish we could try just for a minute To live in love and rest from the war I wish that goodness will win it Until that day I will play my guitar Until that day I will play my guitar Just one moment in peace A bit of enjoyment and harmony A break from the madness, that pressure and sadness
