Saiyuki: Journey West (Playstation, 2001)
The classic Chinese novel, "Journey to the West" is made into a tactical RPG for the Playstation. You are Sanzo, a buddhist monk, who is on a journey from China to India and encounters many misadventures along the way. This classic game from Koei may have been missed out as its release in North America was very close to the release of the Playstation 2. It's available for $5.99 on PSN.




Destrega (Playstation, 1998)
Destrega is a 3D fighting game that utilizes the classic rock-paper-scissors form of fighting - in other words, each attack is powerful against another, but weak against a different one. The storyline involves the Strega, a race of magic-inclined people who share their powers with the weaker humans of Zamuel. The people of Zamuel thank the Strega by trying to conquer everything around them. Now the Strega must fight back to stop the people of Zamuel's threat. It's available for $5.99 on PSN.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire (Playstation, 1996)
