Farland Story: Daichi no Kizuna
Technical Group Laboratory, Inc.1995
This Farland Story game (chronologically the fifth in the main series) tells a story which is not directly connected to the adventures of Arc and his friends (told in the first three games). In this game, you control Kushna, the 17-year-old princess of Sardis. Two important people wish to marry her: the young Shacliff, prince of the neighbor kingdom Rulphan, and the count Geruda. However, the princess feels she is too young to marry anybody, and escapes the castle, dreaming to find a quiet place where she could practice martial arts. The situation changes somewhat when she accidentally meets prince Shacliff himself and discovers he is in fact quite a nice fellow. And meanwhile, horde of monsters invaded the castle, and there are rumors about a rebellion... Although it has a completely different story line, this Farland Story game plays and feels exactly like its predecessors. Once again, you control a party which you can freely move on the battle terrain in turn-based mode. You first assign commands to all your party members, and then wait while the enemies execute their turns. Both you and the enemy automatically counter-attack whenever the attacker is also within the weapon's range. You gain experience points needed for leveling up directly after each attack.

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 are in range. Animations are displayed for each attack, and experience points are awarded for successful elimination of an enemy.

Setsuna's life might be in danger, and the watchful eye of the evil Black Dragon continues to follow the heroes. The adherents of the benevolent White Dragon have to prepare for the decisive battle against the forces of evil... The game plays very similarly to its predecessor. The overall structure corresponds to that of a traditional Japanese RPG: the player navigates the heroes through top-down environments, buying supplies in town, advancing the narrative in a linear way, and fighting enemies to gain experience and level up automatically. Like in the first game, the battles are action sequences that take place in small side-scrolling areas, similarly to fighting games. However, unlike in the predecessor, the enemies are visibly walking on the screen. The fighting game element is more developed in the second game; two additional modes (beside the main story mode) are accessible from the main menu: "monster attack" and "vs. mode". Monster attack mode allows the player to select one of the game's heroes and fight increasingly stronger monsters; "vs. mode" features two-player competition.

Fortunately for Blow, the antidote has been synthesized into his reproductive organ, so that means there is only one way to inoculate the girls.... The player controls the fighter ship through vertically scrolling stages, trying to destroy every ship that crosses its path and reach the end boss. The ship has a primary weapon that can be constantly upgraded by collecting power-ups, and a secondary slot for all sorts of collectible weapons that can be picked up in mid-air.

Edge
Technical Group Laboratory, Inc.1993
In the 22nd century, a powerful magnetic wave obliterated half of Eurasia. Anarchy ensued, the traditional system of government was abolished, and the continent soon turned into a no-man's-land. The power shifted towards huge corporations, which controlled the construction of space stations and ensured living conditions on the Earth. Two oligarchs were the most powerful ones: Phatty in Hong-Kong, and Tenkai in Tokyo. One fine day, the expert martial artist Kikumaru Sakakibara is visited by Rim, a cute-looking, yet deadly fighter. She tells him that Tenkai has stolen something very valuable from Phatty, and introduces Kikumaru to a group of fighters who intend to bring the oligarchs down. The heroes must now discover the secrets of the powerful corporations and ultimately succeed in their mission... Edge is a side-scrolling brawler. In the beginning, the player can control either Edge or Rim; later, other characters can become protagonists. The characters have various strength and weaknesses and use different weapon (mostly melee) to attack. Most of the game consists of walking in one direction, punching and kicking the enemies who try to stop the hero. It is possible to execute different attacks by combining directional keys, jump, and block enemy attacks. The level typically culminates in a boss fight. The game frequently interrupts the action with dialogue and cutscenes, which drive the story forward.
