Working Designs' reputation for injecting pop culture references into their localizations turned certain moments into time capsules that didn't quite age well. "Unhacked" versions of this and other titles are even floating around today undoing their gameplay changes (but not the translation ones).

Arsys would continue to push their poly talents with a number of titles after Wibarm such as 1988's Star Cruiser which also debuted on the PC-88 in Japan and was later ported to other systems like the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1990, preceding Star Fox, taking players into a 3D space sandbox!
Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom (1994) | beat 'em up with light RPG elements | arcades and various ports | Capcom Capcom's arcade wizardry mixed TSR's tabletop flavor into an action packed beat 'em up that pushed expectations with RPG-like elements, multiple paths, and memorable monsters!
Oni also became something of a hit in Japan! Stardust Crusaders writes in their readme for the English patch that it spawned numerous sequels on various platforms including the PlayStation along with novels and even an anime series. Not bad for a lone warrior with simple (and secret) origins!
Mighty Final Fight (1993) | beat 'em up | NES | Capcom Capcom's hit beat 'em up from 1989, Final Fight, punched its way into an unexpected, chibi-sized weight class on the NES! Like its arcade roots, players could kick, punch, and suplex their way through Metro City, now with RPG-like leveling.
Localization house, Working Designs, brought Cosmic Fantasy 2 over to North America in 1992 making it the first in its series to do go beyond Japan. They also tweaked the game's difficulty (apparently making enemies a bit harder) and edited a few scenes from the original.
Requiem of Hell (2004) was an action RPG for the N-Gage by Digital Red. Sidetalkin'? Pfft! Let's go sidequestin! The wicked Dalu has come from Hell, killing nearly everyone and spreading evil. But now, thanks to a fairy's magic, you have been resurrected to save the world! (a fiendish fight thread)
Hioden: Mamono-tachi tono Chikai (1992) | strategy RPG | PC-98 and the Super Famicom | Wolfteam Traveling a road paved by vengeance for the betrayal that drove him and his allies to ruin, the man who would become the Scarlet King would make a pact with a mysterious dryad for an army of demons!
Silviana: Ai Ippai no Boukensha (1988) | action RPG | Nintendo Famicom Disk System | Pack-In-Video Instead of saving the world, Silviana just wants to find medicine for her mom! And even after living the adventurer's life, she can still come home to visit, giving her the strength to keep fighting.
Legends was fairly obscure like a lot of Softdisk's diskmag games but it was a unique take on the CRPG formula with its murder mystery blend. At the end, you didn't necessarily need insane levels or bleeding edge gear and spells, just an itch for pixel hunting and puzzle solving.
Promising "Myth, Magic and Mirth", Tangled Tales strove to deliver on those points with plenty of adventure, unserious NPCs to aid in puzzle solving, and less emphasis on combat and more on actually completing quests. An interesting side quest by Origin from their RPG archive!
This Administration’s war of choice in Iran is about to be a quagmire. Without a set plan, strategy, or definition of victory, this unauthorized war continues to put our servicemembers lives at risk and worsens the affordability crisis for working families across the country.
Love this class analysis of the oscars and the celebrity class, who are just a distraction that is used by the capitalist ruling classes to further propagandise poor working class people. These celebrities love going to the oscars to suck each others' dicks and say all kinds of meaningless bullshit.
