I had this game and played it often before I was forced to sell it during COVID. I was planning to rebuy it, but the prices on eBay because too expensive. I played a lot of the first game, its a nice fun relaxing tactical RPG that everyone should play.
When I got my PSX (the little white one) for my birthday it came with the first Harry Potter game & a memory card... I ended up borrowing the Arc the Lad collection from a kid at school and was hooked, I'd played the Final Fantasy games, legend of Dragoon (also worth saving) but it was Arc that just hooked me to JRPG which I didn't know was a thing, I lost hours of sleep, rushed through chores, homework, ignored family, friends and the world at large for Arc, and I'd do it again, just for that moment of pure joy, I felt at the age of 11

Heimdall
HeimdallHeimdall is an action-adventure computer game developed by a team called The 8th Day and published by Core Design. The game is set in the world of Vikings and Norse mythology. Loki steals Odin's sword, Freyr's spear and Thor's hammer, rendering them powerless. They decide to create an infant, the title character (named after the god of the same name), who must bring back the three legendary weapons. The game sees Heimdall and his crew travelling around an archipelago of islands in three different maps: Utgard, Midgard and Asgard. They travel engaging monsters in combat, interacting with the locals, solving puzzles and avoiding traps, a blend of styles somewhat similar to that found in the Legend of Zelda games. The cartoon-style action is viewed in the isometric perspective.

Soul Sacrifice
Soul SacrificeSoul Sacrifice is a brutal combat experience where every decision made will have consequential results. The main protagonist of Soul Sacrifice is one of the innocent bystanders that has been enslaved by a powerful and cruel sorcerer known as Magusar, who absorbs human sacrifices to remain immortal. Just before the protagonist is going to be sacrificed, a talking book appears before them. The book, named Librom, is a collection of stories that describe past fights between monsters and the powerful sorcerer. The player character is able to enter the book's world and experience the fights in events known as Phantom Quests, thereby gaining the experience and power needed to defeat Magusar. The game has two endings depending on whether the player saves or sacrifices Magusar after his defeat. There is also a third ending that occurs if the player defeats Magusar before completing all of the main stories in Librom.

HeroQuest II: Legacy of Sorasil
HeroQuest II: Legacy of SorasilThe isometric role-playing game engine of the original Hero Quest license is reused in this sequel, set in the evil-infested land of Rhia. There are now 9 large missions to take on, with a largely linear progression in the order these are played. You can choose a team of 4 from 8 character classes, adding rangers, mystics, elves and clerics to the original game's 4. The exact abilities of these can be customized before you start. The game is controlled using action icons at the bottom of a screen to set the basic instructions to move, fight, open doors, search for keys and so on. Characters can move individually, allowing for diverse strategies based on the specific strengths and weaknesses of these characters.
