The intro to the game is really memorable, and sort of establishes a deep interest in the story. The turn based strategy is also very challenging, later in the game. A very traditional heroic Japanese RPG plot as well. Well worth your time if you enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics or Front Mission etc.

This game is a perfect JRPG in 90s. It's like a fairy tale fantasy book, but as a game. All characters have a stories, game have a lot of secrets, so every new game can have a difference, even levelling here is fun. Its a shame that it do not have remasters or remakes.

WinBack: Covert Operations
WinBack: Covert OperationsA terrorist group calling itself the Crying Lions is about to take over the world with its mighty satellite and Jean-Luc Cougar is the only one who can stop it. As Jean-Luc, a covert operative working for the Strategic Covert Actions Team, you are responsible for taking back a Lions-controlled base and regaining power of the satellite. Some of the weapons you'll have to acquire and use to defeat the terrorists are handguns, shotguns, and machine guns, though you'll also need to access such materials as explosives, detectors, flashlights and medical kits in order to succeed. A refreshing take on the traditional action game, WINBACK requires as much stealth and strategy as it does reflexes and use of weaponry. The game features six different multiplayer modes, supporting up to four players: Death Match, Lethal Tag, Quick Draw, Cube Hunt, Team Battle, and Point Match. You select your difficulty level and you can even start off in a Tutorial mode to get the controls down.

SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters' Clash - Capcom Card Fighter's Version
SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters' Clash - Capcom Card Fighter's VersionSNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash, released in 1999 for the Neo Geo Pocket Color handheld console, was the first crossover between SNK and Capcom. Characters in the game are illustrated in the super deformed (chibi) art style. There are two complementary versions of the game: the SNK version and the Capcom version. Each version of the game has a different starting deck and different exclusive cards that can be obtained, but the gameplay remains the same, with card battles resembling a somewhat simplified version of Magic: The Gathering, in which a maximum of three fighters are allowed in each player's field at any given moment and there is no mana to be spent to place them in the field.
