Fable
1996
star 9The adventure in which you are about to embark tells the story of how once upon a time a young boy named Quickthorpe set out a journey through the lost world of Balkhane. It is a Fable in one way, but in the 'trick of the tale', it's a strange adventure through a shattered world and a saga born out of the very sick mind of a man called Ismael. Long ago in the mists of time lived the Mecubarz. Ancient and beautiful, powerful and wise they ruled absolute. Strange beings, magical creatures and humans lived together in peace and harmony, until greed destroyed it all. Ismael, a respected man, and revered by all, sadly had a heart that was hollow and bitter. He and four others plotted to overthrow the Mecubarz. The Mecubarz' fury at the treason of Ismael and his men was cataclysmic. They trapped the four seasons and put them into impenetrable crystals, casting them to the four corners of the shattered world where they stood still and were held in an eternal dominion of ice, mist, water, and fire. The four traitors wereLiving Books: Sheila Rae, the Brave

1996
Omakase! Savers is a comedy adventure game featuring live-action scenes. The player takes the role of the girls' classmate, who appears as a small ghost, and must guide the girls in their quest to seal the spirits again and restore their classmate to his human form. This primarily takes the form of exploring the town on foot, talking to the townsfolk and investigating to find the whereabouts of the spirits causing trouble. Occasional combat takes a semi-real-time format, with the player moving around freely but pausing to perform attacks. The game is divided into four chapters, each focusing on a specific spirit that must be defeated and captured. The characters in the game are represented both by anime-style sprites and digitized photo portraits of real actors, while numerous live-action cutscenes drive the story.
