The Crystalis one was right two. Those two games rock. I’m surprised no one has gotten this one yet: **The mysterious figure is not who the mental patient thought he was.** ---

Oh… Rasin Blobs- Zero Wing Here’s a really obscure one, pat yourself on the back if you’ve played this: Galaxy is encased in some sno-globe like thing, you and friends go in front of court to testify why the galaxy shouldn’t be shut down. You give them chocolate and something else and save the earth. ---

**John Corrado** , correct with Civ/Civ2. I really can’t wait for the third installment to come out. **After being rescued by your brother and stopping the crazy transvestite, you finally escape Antarctica.** Resident Evil - CODE: Veronica. **There’s fireworks…and a parade.** Possibly Super Mario RPG? Or its sequel, Paper Mario? **In the end you get the girl, but God takes away your memories. Stupid God.** Is this Soul Blazer? It’s been years. I guess it’s been long enough. While the games I chose weren’t very obscure, I suppose my descriptions of them were too much so. Here are the remaining three: A candid home video is made. **Final Fantasy VIII**. I know someone out there has to have played this to completion, given all the obscure RPGs I saw out there. Oh well. The new ruler kills his wife. **Final Fantasy Tactics**. Again, a big-name game, good enough for a classic re-issue. In this case, the ruler is your best friend, who ends up taking the credit for your victories. And marrying into royalty before eliminating it. The new ruler kills his best friend. **Suikoden II** , one of the best lesser-known RPGs on the Playstation. In this case, you are the ruler, and this is the “worst ending”, but also the only one that the majority of people who played this will see. ---

> [@](#): > > Rasin Blobs- Zero Wing Yes! > [@](#): > > As the dark side of the world fades from existence, so do you… > Is it Terranigma? (SNES) Yes! I guessed that for someone else’s clue as well, because it was another aspect of the ending… but I guess I was wrong. Here’s what I was trying to guess: > [@](#): > > The villain is not actualy the bad one. Your party actually is(what a mind-frell this was). The whole game, you were actually fighting good, not evil. This just sounds like such a cool premise, and I might have even played a game like this, but I can’t figure out what it is! It sounds like it must be a RPG… ---

> [@](#): > > The villain is not actualy the bad one. Your party actually is(what a mind-frell this was). The whole game, you were actually fighting good, not evil. I don’t know **Salix**. That sounds a lot like Terranigma to me too. The problem is that, in Terranigma, you we’re fighting evil when you first fell to earth because you had to revive civilization. So you were always fighting _for_ evil but not strictly fighting against good. Man I love that game. 🙂 Many RPGs contain aspects from other games so sometimes it’s hard to say what’s what. ---

Yer going down ppl -A load of wind up rabbits cross the road -Yer pal you were sent to protect is in fact using you for evil purposes, so you take him down and escape the island -The guild welcomes you back, having defeated the oncoming evil.

## quote: ## Here’s another: 1)After losing the symbiotes the girl goes off to raise her brother, the monk starts training a new class at the monastery, and the hero’s fate depends on actions earlier in the game. Koudelka? – 1)No, sorry. If it helps, the brother was the bad guy. 2)Which old PC game ends with the line “Tell me \ have you ever heard of Cthulhu?” Tirial ---

It’s **Tales of Phantasia** for the SNES. Davos is the main villain, but he was trying to save his own planet. In the end, you killl him but the Spirit in the Tree ressurects him and they go to save his world. Throughout the game, members of your party stop and wonder what Davos is all about, but they ultimately decide to fight him anyway. WEIRD GAME. The one where you only exist in someone else’s dream? Final Fantasy X ---
