Chatty
1988
Chátty is the third entry in System Sacom's Novel Ware series. It was meant to be the second title, but delays during development pushed its release date past that of the would-be third game. Its story is set in the future and involves a man who was framed for a crime he did not commit. In attempt to clear his name, the protagonist discovers a device that allows interdimensional travel, and ventures into a parallel dimension in search for answers. Unlike the previous Novel Ware game, Chátty is a more traditional Japanese-style adventure, with fewer and shorter conversations and text descriptions. Interaction with the environment and navigation are performed by selecting verb commands and combining them with objects from a menu list. There are no real puzzles, but it is possible to pick up objects, use them, and examine them in an inventory.Dome

Majoriko Inbikai Inbizone
1988
Majoriko Inbizone (also known as Majoriko Inbikai, or “Majoriko in the Impure Zone”) is a side-scrolling action game with some mild RPG elements. Each of the game’s eight stages is open ended, as you hunt for keys to unlock the boss door, while defeating enemies to gain magic and gold. The game was developed by Natsume, in conjunction with Dynamic Planning, the studio owned by famed manga artist Go Nagai, known for his stylistic blend of horror and erotica. Majoriko Inbizone is actually fairly subdued though – it’s rather softcore, and while the first level has some grotesque imagery, the terror is undercut by the appearance of some goofy enemiesWhat's Michael?

Panorama Toh

Panorama Toh (ぱのらま島 "Panorama Island"), released by Nihon Falcom for the NEC PC-8801 computer in 1983, departed from the standard RPG formula in various ways. It combined RPG gameplay with real-time combat, combined fantasy with sci-fi elements, and introduced survival mechanics. The game was designed by Yoshio Kiya, this was possibly the first action RPG. These innovative ideas about RPG design departed significantly from the turn-based norm at the time. It introduced real-time combat, sci-fi elements, a persistent open world with day-night cycle, and survival mechanics. This was a precursor to Falcom's seminal action RPG franchise, Dragon Slayer. In 1984, he would go on to create Nihon Falcom's Dragon Slayer franchise, which laid the foundations for the real-time, action RPG genre.
