One of the best 8-bit RPGs out there and one of the Master System's finest titles, period. Deserves to be actively available on platforms outside of the Nintendo Switch nowadays.

This game is the magnum opus of 8-bit JRPGs in my (any many others') opinion. Graphics, music, scope of the world, etc, was absolutely stunning for its time. Though it's been released in various console formats & complications over the years, it's never been ported to the PC - and definitely deserves this.

My very first RPG. Change my vision of games. Has history, choices, lines and lines of dialog. Itens, equipaments, spells and strategy. Maps, monsters, fellows and more choices. NPC... What was that in 1987? Save game... woooooooooow!!! Change everything in a cartdrige console... not a Amiga or a TK90X

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.
