At some point in the story, Fuu remarks that their story resembles an RPG. Well, their story was actually made into an RPG, for real. This is a JRPG-style SNES game with a variety of classic tropes -- a 3/4-view interface with cute spritework, a turn-based battle system where you get to use the characters' special abilities, an adventuring party whose membership changes every so often, a strong focus on an epic fantasy story (it actually differs a bit from the manga and anime, which also differ from each other, but overall gist is the same), and last but certainly not least, a cool soundtrack. The game has been fan-translated, and it'd be really cool to see it get an official PC release for once.

Dungeon MasterDungeon Master established several new standards for role playing and computer games in general. Dungeon Master was a realtime game instead of the traditional turn-based approach that was prevalent until then. Instead of using text-based commands to interact with the environment, players directly manipulated objects and the environment by clicking the mouse in the enlarged first-person view. Abstract Dungeons and Dragons style experience points and levels were eschewed in favor of a system where the characters' skills were improved directly via using them. It also introduced some novel control methods including the spell casting system, which involved learning sequences of runes which represented the form and function of a spell's effect. For example, a fireball spell was created by mixing the fire symbol with the wing symbol. This kind of attention to detail and focus on the user interface was typical of the game and helped create an often captivating sense of craft and ingenuity. Other factors in immersiveness were the then-revolutionary use of sound effects to indicate when a creature was nearby, and (primitive) dynamic lighting.

Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
