"ActRaiser"

Actraiser is a combo Side Scrolling Action/Civilization Creator game. The Player takes on the role of "The Master" and is sent down to liberate the people from the evil monsters of a particular area, once this is done the player then takes on the role of "The Angel" who (guided by the player) helps in the advancement of the local civilization, the working of miracles and the riddance of evil monsters. The games main goal is to build up a population to it's max and rid the area of the evil minions of Tanzra (The game's main antagonist).

"Soul Blazer"

"Soul Blazer"'s history concerns the Freil Empire, a kingdom ruled by King Magridd. Magridd learned of an inventor named Dr. Leo in his kingdom who could invent virtually anything. He had Dr. Leo imprisoned and forced him to create a machine that could be used to contact the evil spirit Deathtoll. Deathtoll offered the king one gold piece for each soul from his kingdom, and under the counsel of his wife, Magridd agrees. As a result, the villages were destroyed, all living creatures became incarcerated souls in Deathtoll's monster lairs, and the world became empty. The Master of the world sees this devastation and sends one of his heavenly servants to the kingdom in the form of a human warrior to defeat the monsters and liberate the inhabitants.
