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

Lost Odyssey
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.
