Burai: Hachigyoku no Yūshi Densetsu
The world of Kypros is populated by many races: humans, intelligent reptiles, dog-like wosshus and others. There are also many gods in Kypros. Not all gods could accept the peaceful coexistence of creatures in Kypros, and Daar, the god of darkness, hatched evil plans until he was defeated and sealed by the god of light, Risk. Years have passed and the evil demon lord Bido attempts to resurrect Daar. According to an ancient prophecy, only eight heroes, bearers of magical pearls, can stop Bido's evil plans: eight heroes who come from different parts of Kypros, unaware of their great mission. Among those heroes are the young pirate Zan Hayate, the wosshu tribe fighter Gonza and his little sister Maimai, the beautiful sorceress Lilian Lancelot, and others.
Before the eight heroes join together for their final journey, you play their introductory stories. You travel the world map, visiting cities and dungeons along the way. Combat is turn-based, viewed from the first-person perspective. Enemies appear randomly. Each hero has their own unique techniques to use in battles.
The story and general gameplay of Burai: Hachigyoku no Yūshi Densetsu are similar to those of the original Burai: Jōkan for computers; however, the console versions were developed from scratch and thus differ greatly from the computer versions, having new cutscenes, dialogue, battle interface, etc. Perhaps the most important difference in terms of gameplay is the linear nature of the chapters. In the computer versions, the player can choose to start as any of the eight selectable heroes; in the console versions, the player has to start with Gonza and Maimai.
Magic Knight Rayearth
This game is based on the anime and manga by the creators of CLAMP manga.
In the land of Cephiro, the world is kept in peace and harmony by the wishes of Princess Emauraude, the Pillar of Balance. But the evil priest, Lord Zagato, has kidnapped Emauraude, and Cephiro is being overrun by deadly beasts. If this continues, Zagato will take full control of Cephiro! The only ones who can stop him are the legendary Magic Knights. . . .
And those Magic Knights are three young men from Earth. Hikaru Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki and Fuu Hououjii have been taken from present-day Tokyo and brought to Cephiro by Emauraude, and they are the only ones who can defeat Zagato . . as the Magic Knights!
This interpretation of the manga story is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game. The player controls the three main heroines in a party; each of them uses different weapons and learns various skills. As usual in the genre, the party traverses the world from top to bottom, visits cities, descends into dungeons, converses with non-playable characters, and fights enemies that appear randomly in turns.
