In the 21st century, Tokyo is attacked by an unidentified force. At first, it is thought to be a military coup d'état because all the weapons and personnel involved belonged to the forces of Earth, though investigations can uncover no motive from the participants nor connect them to each other. After ten more years of seemingly-random attacks on Earth cities by Earth forces, a researcher discovers the existence of an alien species which has been monitoring the planet and using telepathy to seize control of groups of humans in order invoke chaos. Soon thereafter, the aliens increase their assault by turning more of Earth's weapons on each other, seeking the planet's destruction. With few humans left able to act normally under the aliens' power, our protagonist climbs into an experimental ship, codenamed 'Zero', and departs in search of victory...
The continent of Riglas is inhabited by two races: the Mirians and the Galtians. For years they have fought each other for dominance. Caught in the struggle between the two is the nearly forgotten Osborn race, discriminated and enslaved. Mei, a young Osborn man, leaves his home village in order to free his people, and to discover the forbidden secrets of Beljuna which remain a taboo in this land. This side-scrolling action role-playing adventure is set in a vast seamless world that consists of interconnected yet varied urban, wilderness, and dungeon-like locations. Players can explore all of Riglas from the outset, a world populated by many different types of friendly and hostile characters. Killing hostiles increases the player's score and eventually makes the main character stronger. Killing friendlies, on the other hand, may lower the score. Combat is simple: approach a character and press the attack button to swing Mei's sword.
Fix It is a puzzle game where the player assembles various machines out of a kit of spare parts. The machines are similar to Rube Goldberg devices and involve releasing a bolt from a wrench and then have it reach a box. For each machine the player has access to a toolbox with a certain amount of components of various kinds that have to be placed on the playing field to complete the machine. Most common are the elbows (l-shaped pipes) which change the direction of the bolt and the converters which change the property of the bolt. The bolt can be small and hollow, large and hollow, small and solid or large and solid and these properties have to match with the properties of the box and the parts. For example, to reflect a small and hollow bolt only an elbow with those properties will work. There is also the bouncer which rebounds the bolt in the opposite direction and the key which the bolt has to pass through to enter a locked box. The game consists of 200 machines. The first 100 only uses regular parts while the latter 100 contains modified parts. These differ in that their properties change every time they are touched by the bolt. The parts can also rotated and change position. Machines can be built in any order even if previous ones have not been completed. Additionally there is an editor that allows the player to create new machines.
