You were also the Guy Ritchie version of a medieval Sherlock Holmes. Word descriptions for stats replaced crunch, combat was turn-based text, and leveling toughened you up. Death was also pretty forgiving when you didn't die, just kind of broke away to go at it again (hopefully with better luck).

PoPoLoCrois Monogatari (1996) | RPG | Sony PlayStation | G-artists and Sugar & Rockets Adapting Yohsuke Tamori's manga series, you take on the role of the courageous Prince Pietro in a quest to take back his father's stolen crown as the first of many adventures filled with fantasy and friendship.

Cosmic Fantasy 2's presentation added plenty of gloss over its gameplay, garnering fans and even a limited reprint years later for the Nintendo Switch in 2024. And like the TG-16 CD version of Ys I & II, Cosmic Fantasy 2 became another cutting edge example of the kind of CD magic that was possible!

It was the first game in their Legend of Heroes series but also the sixth game in Nihon Falcom's long-running Dragon Slayer series that began in 1984 on Japanese PCs like the PC-88 and the MSX with an innovative title that became an influential and iconic ancestor of the action RPG genre in Japan.

Small, compact areas filled with monsters and obstacles make up the quest, leveling helps to bump your stats (attack, armor, and health), and there are even NPCs, weapons, and health saving food to be found. You even have magic that improves with use. As you level, you also unlock additional spells.

Tangled Tales is much like an adventure game with RPG elements and turn-based combat thrown in for a bit of flavor It also made things more interesting with its menagerie of colorful NPCs. And true to its title, fairy tale cameos mix things up for a bit of humor and adventure.

Gauntlet IV (1993) | dungeon crawler | Sega Genesis | M2 M2 refreshed Gauntlet's iconic top-down dungeons in the 90s featuring modes like an RPG-flavored quest with gear to buy and XP to earn. Fresh tunes by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata also accompanied brave players on their adventure!

Legend of Heroes' quest spanned multiple chapters filled with plenty of grind-filled leveling, strange twists, and traditional turn-based gameplay taking you on a grand adventure. A neat gem of an RPG filled with brutal beasties along with sweet and sour ear candy, especially for the TG-16 CD crowd!

The game received a mixed batch of reviews with praise for its gameplay while noting rough edges like the awkward dialog. There was plenty to grind through, with tons of beasties (though not too much variety!) to blast into fleshy puddles and a skeleton of a story. You could also save anywhere!

Mostly a solo adventure, from time to time an NPC may tag along and give you advice (and leave all of the fighting to you!). Outside of its simple, button-controlled combat, it followed a basic, easy-to-follow formula for RPGs keeping things simple and familiar as you quest to save the world.

The resilience of people, minus -10°F: thousands of you out on the streets of Minneapolis against Trump, against fascism… unbelievable. There is hope. Stay strong folks. The whole world is watching and with you in our hearts. From Amsterdam with💛
