it was like Zelda + Final Fantasy + Chrono trigger and was really incredible, a really example of "Too Advanced for its age"
the game have a big world, incredible polished action rpg mechanics a good story and an art stile really close to toriyama's chrono trigger's style
The first rpg I played, I remember being lost in history and researching just because some mentions, years ago my brother played a lot of final fantasy and tried to teach me but couldn't love the style, but the action and amazing story telling of this game captured my attention over all others, even playing and looking for more after finishing it the first time.
Terranigma is one of the most philosophically deep games you’ll find at the time on SNES, before Xenogears and what not. It is a very special experience like no other with incredibly smooth gameplay, amazing music, and a very engaging story. I’m someone who thought the mana series was the best action rpg offerings on the SNES but I was proved incredibly wrong after Terranigma. It easily became my top SNES game of all time with no rival.
It has some flaws but still one of the most ambitious and darkest action RPGs of its era.
Despite the cutesy artstyle it tackles some serious topics like personal regret, the toll of human development on fauna and flora, even being driven to cannibalsim to survive...
Could use a new, more polished translation though.
Since its release, I've considered it one of the best action RPGs alongside Kingdom Hearts. I play through it over and over again. This game should definitely not be missed!
This is was THE high peak of the old game generation. An RPG where you become the creator of planet Earth and learn the consequences of progress. This game still baffles me with their emotional scenes and symbolic characters. And it has still the light weight 90s vibes. That is the definition of a good old game.
The best “Link to the Past Zelda-like” that outdid Zelda in almost every way. A unique story, expanded combat moves, massive world and puzzles. It’s a game that doesn’t hold your hand every step and treats the player with respect. Such an underrated game!
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist.
The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.Fantasy Historical Comedy

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
