Story:Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean is a role-playing video game developed by Sunsoft for the Super Nintendo, but cancelled and ported to the Sega Saturn. It is the first Albert Odyssey title to be released in English, as well as the first to feature traditional turn-based role-playing elements as opposed to tactical, strategy-based gameplay. Legend of Eldean was created as a "gaiden", or sidestory to the original titles, and contains back story, characters, and plot that are independent from earlier games in the series. The North American version received generally favorable reviews, with the game's translation invoking mixed criticism both for its overly-humorous tone and departure from the original Japanese dialogue.Show more

This game and many others by Working Designs were part of the blessing I had to play in my younger days. The rpg genre has built my imagination and helped me escape the harsh life I had as a child. It allowed me to go into these worlds and set mine aside. The stories of worlds in peril and plunged into darkness and becoming the hero that is set into the adventure to save the world from these atrocities allowed me to become who I am today. I do not know who I would have become without these games growing up. I did not allow myself to turn into the beast or the bad guy but inside I am the hero and act with kindness and a helping hand everywhere I go. I also know how to read really well. xD

This was the game that convinced me to buy a Saturn before a PlayStation. I was working my first job, at Toys R Us, and the Saturn had recently come down in price. On my lunch break, I was flipping through a games magazine that had been removed from the shelves as too old. I saw a full page ad for this game. I tore the ad out and waited. I bought my Saturn that weekend and when this game finally released, I anxiously watched the tickets (you took a ticket to a counter after you paid to get games, they were locked up), hoping no one snagged it since my store got only one copy. I bought it as soon as I clocked out for the day and, at first, no one in the back could find it. It got mis-shelved but eventually, we found it and I was so happy. I'd not played an RPG since Final Fantasy 3 (Yes, it was '6' but the SNES cart said 3, we didn't know that yet.) and Chrono Trigger and this one made me so happy. I miss this game (Saturn is in storage) and would love to be able to play it again on modern hardware.

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.
