Poibos Part 1: Dasshutsu
1983
Poibos (a misspelling of Phoebus) is a Japanese-made role-playing game. The small paying window displays a rather abstract map on which the player can navigate the characters. The game begins with Jorg only, but up to six characters may join the party and participate in combat afterwards. The characters' stamina bar is depleted depending on the terrain they walk on, and they need to rest regularly. Turn-based battles require balancing offensive and defensive manoeuvres, as well as actively protecting weaker party members. The game has a fairly complex weapon system, with several weapon types, all of which (due to the protagonist's outlaw status) can only be acquired by stealing or as battle trophies. Weapon energy deteriorates over time, having major impact on battle performance.Genma Taisen

The protagonist of Seiken Densetsu must explore dangerous wilderness in a fantasy land in order to locate and obtain four sacred swords, which allegedly grant immortality to whoever manages to possess them.

The protagonist explores an overhead world map, visiting towns where weapons, armor, items and food can be bought. Food rations are necessary to have for preventing the hero from starving. Experience points and gold are obtained from defeating enemies. Interaction is performed by pressing keys corresponding to commands, such as Move, Question, Enter, etc.Chitei Tanken

Following the disappearance of S-City under a wave of dark and stormy clouds, the Roland Federation sends their elite troops to investigate and return order, only to become prey for the now mutated inhabitants. Kai Karze, the lone survivor, finds himself besieged on all sides, and even he's begun to transform into a demonic being the longer he fights. He must quickly locate and destroy the evil force transforming him and the city into this nightmare realm before it's too late. WerDragon is an auto side-scrolling, stage-based action platformer with character growth and a dark science-fantasy setting. Kai will level up once you've destroyed enough enemies, gaining extra health and new abilities in the process. There are a few extra weapons to collect, devilish boss fights to survive, and many richly animated levels and cutscenes to enjoy.Karakuri Ninpou

Bomb Jack

In Bomb Jack, the player controls Jack, who must collect all the bombs in order to complete the current round and go onto the next one. This sounds easy, right? Wrong! Making Jack's task difficult are numerous enemies such as birds, mummies, turtles, and orbs. In each round, collecting a number of bombs results in a bonus coin appearing, and collecting this coin will make the player's score increase 2 to 4 times. More often than not, the "power ball" appears, and when you collect this, you can defeat enemies and have more time to collect all the bombs. There is also the "E" coin, which gives Jack one additional life, but rarely does this coin appear. The more you progress through the game, the more difficult it becomes, as enemies travel more quickly to get you.Super Jack
