	ALUNDRA
	Alundra is a bit old now, but it's an ace PS game (there are many alundra fan sites) that seems to have used some of both Zelda for the GB and Zelda for the SNES's classic ideas. It must consequently be good, but is it worth that hard-earned £20? (or less) Also, it's sequel, Alundra 2 is out, and quite good. I may review this sometime.

FINAL FANTASY VII
FF7 is possibly one of the best games ever. Many say that it is (and I think it's one of the best). But could there have possibly been any improvements?

	FINAL FANTASY VIII
	The first external review to be posted to RPB's RPG. This one is by Nikon/Spyro24/Sir Leoendithas Urthador of Wardy's Connections.

FINAL FANTASY IX
FF9 isn't reviewed yet.

	TERRA INCOGNITA ( YAROZE GAME )
	Mmmm. An interesting 3D RPG. This is only available on the cover disc on the Official PlayStation Magazine volume 2, issue 14 or maybe on a more recent compilation of Yaroze games. It has, well, "interesting" cut scenes. Characters heads are not on their body (if they have one!). Read for more information.

Possible future reviews for the PS;
Alundra 2
Final Fantasy VIII (by me)
Final Fantasy IX (coming soon)
Vagrant Story
Chrono Cross (US/JAP only; imported)
Wild Arms
Wild Arms 2nd Ignition
Parasite Eve (US/JAP only; imported)

	SECRET OF MANA
	Another copy of Zelda, but is it any good? Read this now! (It'll be worth it!) It's surprising how many people remember this - it is a game to remember.

RPB
SECRET OF MANA 2 (SEIKEN DENSETSU 3)
A translated Japan-only release difficult to obtain, but is it worth the hassle? Read now!

	RPB
	ZELDA 3 - A LINK TO  THE PAST
	WOW!!!! What an ace game! Could there possibly be more in this already excellent game? This is the game that (I think) Alundra for the PS got many ideas from, making an incredibly similar game. Read this for info! Also, a great (but still in progress) new Zilda story, made by fans of Zelda, can be found on my site. Check it out if you're a fan of the Zelda series.

RPB
FINAL FANTASY II
The second of the great series. Is it any where near as good as it's great great great grandson, FF7?

	RPB
	FINAL FANTASY III
	The third of the great series. Is it any where near as good as it's great great grandson, FF7?

RPB
FINAL FANTASY IV
DO NOT buy this imported from Japan if you have Final Fantasy II or can't speak Japanese, or both, because apart from the title screen and the fact that it's Japanese they are exactly the same. This must mean that there was at least two more Final Fantasies made that weren't released anywhere but Japan.

Possible future reviews for the SNES;
Chrono Trigger (US/JAP only; imported)(My favourite)
Final Fantasy; Mystic Quest
Any other Final Fantasies I can find
Shadowrun

Secret of Mana 2 (Jap only - translated version) - 04/02/01 (4th Feb.)

	ZELDA 4 - LINK'S AWAKENING
	WOW!!!! Maybe not quite as good as the last, but still ace. Maybe Alundra for the PS got many ideas from this, making a very similar game. If you are wondering whether to buy this or not still, think about this - after playing this game, I looked everywhere for the SNES version and when I found it, I immediately bought it! (it was cheaper than usual though) Go on. Have a read. Also, a great (but still in progress) new Zilda story, made by fans of Zelda, can be found on my site. Check it out if you too are a fan of the Zelda series.

RPB
ZELDA 4 - LINK'S AWAKENING DX
WOW!!!! Read about the normal Zelda 4 above, but think about it with colour, an extra dungeon, and a few other extras! If you are wondering whether to buy this or not, I say "yes", unless you have the original, because there isn't really that much new... Also, a great (but still in progress) new version of this game is available at my 'Link' section. You might have guessed, it's called "Link". Well, Zelda never turned up in most of these games anyway! You should check it out if you are a fan of the Zelda series.

	RPB
	ZELDA 7 - ORACLE OF SEASONS
	Zelda: Oracle of Seasons is more focused on action than Zelda: Oracle of Ages, and is set in Holodrum. You're supposed to save Din in this game. Link's main enemy is called General Onox.  It's twin game has a different story line.

RPB
ZELDA 8 - ORACLE OF AGES
Zelda: Oracle of Ages is more focused on puzzles than Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, and is set in Labrynna. You're supposed to save Nayru in this game. Link's main enemy is an evil sorceress; Veran.  It's twin game has a different story line.

Possible future reviews for the GB;
Link on rude island (a special version of Zelda DX still in production)
Monster Rancher Battle Card GB
007
Pokèmon (all version summary - An unbiased Pokèmon review for once)
