Game modes:Single player
Story:Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean is a role-playing video game developed by Sunsoft for the Super Nintendo, but cancelled and ported to the Sega Saturn. It is the first Albert Odyssey title to be released in English, as well as the first to feature traditional turn-based role-playing elements as opposed to tactical, strategy-based gameplay. Legend of Eldean was created as a "gaiden", or sidestory to the original titles, and contains back story, characters, and plot that are independent from earlier games in the series. The North American version received generally favorable reviews, with the game's translation invoking mixed criticism both for its overly-humorous tone and departure from the original Japanese dialogue.Show more

This game and many others by Working Designs were part of the blessing I had to play in my younger days. The rpg genre has built my imagination and helped me escape the harsh life I had as a child. It allowed me to go into these worlds and set mine aside. The stories of worlds in peril and plunged into darkness and becoming the hero that is set into the adventure to save the world from these atrocities allowed me to become who I am today. I do not know who I would have become without these games growing up. I did not allow myself to turn into the beast or the bad guy but inside I am the hero and act with kindness and a helping hand everywhere I go. I also know how to read really well. xD

This was the game that convinced me to buy a Saturn before a PlayStation. I was working my first job, at Toys R Us, and the Saturn had recently come down in price. On my lunch break, I was flipping through a games magazine that had been removed from the shelves as too old. I saw a full page ad for this game. I tore the ad out and waited. I bought my Saturn that weekend and when this game finally released, I anxiously watched the tickets (you took a ticket to a counter after you paid to get games, they were locked up), hoping no one snagged it since my store got only one copy. I bought it as soon as I clocked out for the day and, at first, no one in the back could find it. It got mis-shelved but eventually, we found it and I was so happy. I'd not played an RPG since Final Fantasy 3 (Yes, it was '6' but the SNES cart said 3, we didn't know that yet.) and Chrono Trigger and this one made me so happy. I miss this game (Saturn is in storage) and would love to be able to play it again on modern hardware.

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Pokémon FireRed
Pokémon FireRedPokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are a pair of core series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004. As the first remakes in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Green Versions, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games. The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for Game Link Cables when trading between the two games (and later Pokémon Emerald Version). In later copies, it was sold separately. FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the Game Boy Advance, only behind Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. They also received Nintendo's Player's Choice awards.
