There's already a pacman clone out there too.
To keep on topic, I recently played a game on PCE SCD called Dragon Half. It's one of those board games that I usually don't like. This one was pretty neat because it had RPG elements in it (exp, money, levelling up, etc). The goal of the game is to find the 3 fragments of some item, but I couldn't really figure out what the story was.
The game has a loooong intro. It's like watching a newscast... pretty funny. The graphics are nice and the SD chars look good (funny) in the battles. There's also lots of voice in the game.
Basically you just roam the board looking for info on where the 3 fragments are. You can play 1 to 4 people with the CPU controlling any of them. Each team has four characters. Some are some dodgy looking characters too. Anyway, the board consists of 3 types of locations: blue, yellow, and red squares.
The blue squares are "safe". People give you info or it might be a store. If you talk to a person, they usually ask you to do something. If you accept their quest, then you have to figure out how to do it. They're pretty simple. Some ask you to sell something at the store, others ask you to visit certain areas.
The yellow squares are 50/50 chance of being good or bad. It ranges from getting an item or restoring health, to become sick (attacks do less damage) or just getting damaged outright.
The red squares are battles. The battles are pretty simple. Just press the button when the your gauge is full to do the most damage. The animation varies by who's attacking and how full the gauge is. If you lose all your HP, then you lose your next turn.
I haven't gotten that far, but that's pretty much the gist of the game. There is a lot of Japanese in it as you might have guessed. For the most part it's playable without Japanese, but in order to complete the quests, you have to know what the person is asking.
