The Tower of Cabin is an unusual spinoff of the fantasy role-playing video game series called Xak by the Japanese developer Microcabin. The Tower of Cabin was released just before Microcabin decided to discontinue the development of Xak III for MSX. The Tower of Cabin was also ported to the PC-98. In this game, the player plays as a new Microcabin employee as they wander the Microcabin headquarters building in Japan with a goal to work with the various lead programmers and developers in making the company more successful. This is very similar to the later Japanese game known as Segagaga (Dreamcast) in which the player runs the entire Sega company as the president of Sega Corporation. This game featured many characters from the Xak series such as Latok, Fray and Pixie. There were two unlockable mini-games in The Tower of Cabin: a short fighting game between Pixie and Fray and a text adventure called Crusader that took place within the Xak universe.
