I played this game back when I was a teen. Had no idea what it was about, had never heard of it. So I decided to rent it. I remember the game being very hard and pretty unforgiving. I remember dying many times and losing all my items and gear, really made me want to quit. But the more I played it and as the town and relationships with NPCs developed, I really grew to love it.

First game of the genre that I played. Haven't found anything quite like Azure Dreams. Dungeon Delving, City Building, Monster Raising. And a unique item leveling system.
An epic adventure with a small town feel. It connects me to a place in my youth where my world was very small but my dreams were big. Azure dreams is an underrated gem and deserves to be celebrated by a new generation.
Still play this once a year...on an emulator. I'd love to legally buy/own it to play natively on PC. This game kicked off my love for the monster taming genre, not pokemon like most. I just love it to death.

This game is so ahead of it's time. It may be considered the first rogue-like game. You find monster eggs and raise them to go with you to the dungeon-like tower. The Tower is the main game-play but there is much more to do like rebuilding your house, improving the city, meeting all the girls and help them with their quests and play unlocked mini-games.

I played the hell out of this game as a kid. Collecting all the monsters and fusing them to make unique combinations that work for how you play was a lot of fun. Combined with a fairly charming aesthetic, some lightweight city building, and rudimentary romance options, there was a lot of content to enjoy without having to dig into the mechanics unless you wanted to.

I played and beaten this before. I would love to be able to get it on PC. Just imagining the potential moddability is insane. I mean imagine just adding in the Gameboy content? I remember learning of the various tricks for this game like how having 5 of the same item in the Safe makes it more likely for you to run into it in the tower. Or how you can get nearly any item from a Barong as long as you keep feeding it items. The annoyance of dealing with those thieving monsters that can act twice a turn... Item duping was fun if tricky...

One of my favorites of all time. It has it all, music, story, randomized new adventures, a dating sim, a personal house, a city builder, a monster collection game. Spent countless hours in my youth playing this for the PS1 and would happily fork over a good chunk for a PC port without emulation involved.

When I was a kid, my mother picked out a very random and unknown game to bring home for our PS1 - and I've never known another game quite like that game. Azure Dreams was my first experience at a rogue lite, and I frequently lost my items after dying in the Tower. But I loved being able to collect and raise monsters, and I loved that I could better my little desert town the more effort I put in. Here's hoping I can show this game the love it deserves, by making more of my friends play it.

First dungeon-crawler/monster-raising game I ever played as a kid. Had no clue what I was doing until I had my dad try to learn the game, and I loved every moment of it. As a big fan of city-builder games it was so satisfying seeing my efforts in the tower be rewarded with the opportunity to improve the town with new facilities.

Breath of Fire
Breath of FireRecognized by Capcom as their first traditional role-playing video game, Breath of Fire would set the precedent for future entries in the series, and features character designs by company head of development Keiji Inafune, as well as music by members of Capcom's in-house sound team Alph Lyla. In 2001, the game was re-released for the Game Boy Advance handheld system with new save features and minor graphical enhancements, with the English version being released in Europe for the first time. Set in a fantasy world, Breath of Fire follows the journey of a boy named Ryu, one of the last surviving members of an ancient race with the ability to transform into mighty dragons, as he searches the world for his sister. During his quest, Ryu meets other warriors who share his quest, and comes into conflict with the Dark Dragon Clan, a militaristic empire who seeks to take over the world by reviving a mad goddess. The game experienced mostly positive reception upon release, and was followed by a direct sequel, Breath of Fire II, in 1994.
