A childhood favorite, played it for hours as a kid. Sure, it's a shorter title as far as Playstation RPGs go, but it's a magical time. The fusion system is probably why I spent so much time on it, and is the highlight. Tameable monsters (called "minions") actually have their model and animations altered depending on what other monster you fuse with them - you can even re-fuse the hybrids with other hybrids! There's a touching story about love, duty and sacrifice. The unique tribal setting and music are incredibly memorable. The art direction of the game being headed by Studio Ghibli alum Katsuya Kondō make it a beautiful experience. It's well worth preserving for future generations just because of how truly unique a monster-battler it is.

The animated sequences between each new stage alone makes this game memorable. And I loved fusing the monsters I captured. No game was the same. I loved it as a teenager.

Even after all these years I still play this game from time to time on my childhood PS1. This is until this day the best fusion System a Game ever had. Better than any Pokemon or Shin Megami Tensei game, since it really morphes the two monsters together. The Graphics in Studio Ghibli Style was also amazing. (It also had great German Dubbing) I wish that this game would make it on GOG.

The epitome of my childhood, my first JRPG ever. Fully voiced dialogue, gameplay with an interesting mechanic that lets you mix the monsters you catch to mix looks and abilities if done properly. Pretty good story too. I paid $80 for a disc recently, once I finally found it. It was worth the nostalgia trip though. This game deserves recognition........but I'll keep dreaming.

I would love to be able to purchase this on here. I miss this wonderful game and the many hours of play that it gave me. I have been looking for this game on disk again so i could replay it. I love the fact that you could combine your monsters to make better and stronger creatures. It has wonderful battle sequences and a wonderful story line.
Das ist ein reiner Schatz der Artstyle alleine schon die Videos waren reiner Anime so geil definitiv top 5 Spiel das fangen und verschmelzen von Monstern die Geschichte und der Endlosdungeon nachm durchspielen sowas von gut gemacht ich hab direkt nen Ohrwurm von der Musik in meiner Kindheit hab ich es sowas von geliebt das is heute noch ein gehüteter Schatz im Schrank nur der zweite Teil den ham se dann versaut ... auf Deutsch auch noch alles so gut würde ich direkt nochmal kaufen
I remember playing this on a Demo Disk With Playstation magazine i replayed the Demo over and over This was Adult Pokemon with Proper Fusion was WAY ahead of its Time also animated by Ghibli This Game was so good
This was a game I originally didn't understand or like. Didn't understand that there was such a thing as unwinnable boss fights as a kid. But one day I just decided to keep playing and holy crap did I get lost just catching everything and merging them together. It still blows my mind that there isn't a game that does merging the way this one did, I was very disappointed in its sequel not using the same merge mechanic. I switched between this and FFVII so often as a kid and still play it today
Those games also need your vote!

Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Frankie Goes to HollywoodPlaying a thoroughly drab, mundane and predictable character, your aim is to become interesting enough to reach the Pleasuredome. After discovering a gruesome murder, your interest in something greater than the routine of 80s Liverpool is awoken. You explore the streets and houses in the search of a way out. The main basis of the game involves picking up objects and using them in the correct way - most objects have more than one potential use, and misusing them is the only way the game can be lost. There are several sub-games along the way, including shoot 'em ups, a maze and a jigsaw puzzle.

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.
