Majin Tensei II: Spiral Nemesis is the second game in the Majin Tensei series.
In Tokyo, 1996, a demonic invasion and coup d'état by a mysterious man transforms the city into the "demon capital". A group of people called Partisan stages a rebellion against the new government, but before long the situation escalates. What follows is a battle between parallel universes with time travel as a key element. As Naoki, the player makes choices that will ultimately determine how the crisis is resolved, and with what results.
A scientist named Zen Shiratori was investigating the ruins of an ancient Mayan temple, convinced that the proof of the existence of a parallel world lies there. He found a strange glowing orb, which was later accidentally discover by his fourteen-year-old son Gen, who was rummaging through Dad's collection. As a result, Gen was indeed teleported into a parallel world. There, he meets a young girl named Rinna, who tells him that he is, in fact, "Gen-Kaiser", the much-expected savior of their world. Piloting giant combat robots, the two must protect the innocents of that world and defeat evil.
Kisō Shinden: Gen-Kaiser is a turn-based strategy/RPG hybrid (what is commonly called in Japan a "tactical RPG"). There is overworld navigation, and the player can also visit and explore cities; however, these features are rather rudimentary, and hostile areas cannot be explored in real time and are presented as large-scale strategic battles. The characters move in turns over the top-down battlefield and attack when enemies
Baby Pubert, the most recent addition to the Addams Family, has been abducted by Debbie Jellinski, his former nanny. As Uncle Fester it is your job to rescue little Pubert. You must search the surrounding areas (forests, swamps, gardens and the like) of Addams mansion, while avoiding traps, solving puzzles and killing monsters. You'll face such hellish creatures as vultures, gargoyles, bats, ghosts and ghouls.
During your mission, you'll run into Gomez, Morticia, Lurch and other members of the Addams Family, who are on the grounds to lend advice and provide items. These items include a box of seeds for producing enemy-attacking mini bushes, black beetle cookies which give Fester a dose of ill-health (this is a good thing), stone marbles for turning attackers into rock, a bowling ball for hitting enemies and breaking through walls and a battery, which powers up Fester's standard Zzap attack. Within the seven levels of play, there are tons of other creatures to zap and items to find.
The player navigates Smash and his friends through top-down locations, talking to people and fighting randomly appearing enemies in hostile areas. The turn-based battles are viewed from a side perspective. Characters can execute various "techniques", which deplete TP (technique points), or magic spells.
The Odyssey is a fun Macintosh-only RPG from David Larkin, a lone programmer. The game harks back to the olden days of Ultima IV, when RPGs were played from a bird's eye perspective, and offered a deceptively complex gameplay that would last for months on end.
In addition to a neat plot based on Greek myths and an intuitive interface, The Odyssey offers many cool features that are not usually seen in commercial RPGs—let alone shareware games. The game uses a unique and realistic conversation system that is reminiscent of Ultima VI, and offers a fast and furious combat system that is easy to learn, but requires strategy not unlike the Bard's Tale games to succeed. The writing is strong throughout, and the plot is captivating enough and different enough from dime-a-dozen fantasy fodder to maintain your interest.
A shareware game, the steep $25 fee for the registered version unfortunately got you nothing other than a hintbook. The shareware version for download is already a complete game, although some puzzles wil
