Defenders of Oasis	Sega (SEGA)	1992	The save feature of this game is a bit unusual. Saving is done automaticly at all times outside of combat (somewhat like oldschool roguelikes). But there is some control granted in the ability to make as many as two backup copies of the save file, overwrite backups, and delete backups. This save system is obvioisly intended to midigate the potential problem of batteries dying during gameplay. It is intended for use by a single player. However, if players are careful to keep track of backups, the game can effectively have two player profiles.*Score shown on Mega Force #27 (Apr. 1994) [26]* [37]* [38]* [32]* [29]* [27]* [20]*Save your kingdom from destruction! Once captured by heroes of a bygone era, the foul wizard Ahriman has been summoned by dark forces and his armies now threaten to ravage the peaceful land of Shanadar.

Recruit unique allies such as a princess, genie, and thief! Fight enemies to gain strength and upgrade your heroes’ weapons and armor in order to fight Ahriman.	Game Gear
Dragon's Crown	Atlus;NIS America (Vanillaware)	2013	Has been target of some controversy due to female reviewers (specifically ones that are vocally feminist) not liking the game's depiction of genders, with consumers of those reviews getting angry at them for no good reason, when the game is clearly targeted at adolescent or similarly minded males. Women (reviewers) not liking the game is not unexpected, these same reviewers have no requirement to review them from the perspective of the games' intended audience (unless that's their reviewing gimmick, which probably rarely or never is). In the end, the controversy is mostly from people condemning some reviewers for voicing their opinion on the game just because the reviewers were not in the game's target audience and thus received the game poorly (and gave poor scores for the game as result).

Time Traveller	Sega	1991	[media=youtube]zMCU4k_XBqg[/media]***Travel to different time periods, meet interesting people, and kill them. (paradoxes?) Sega produced a billboard style marquee that prominently featured the word "Hologram". It could be placed above the unit, or not. The title of the game itself was placed on top of the unit between the stereo speakers and was less noticeable than the billboard. Thus, pictures of the unit with the optional billboard tend to suggest the game was actually titled "Hologram" while units without it were appropriately thought to be titled "Time Traveler" but mistaken for a different game than the supposed "Hologram" Part of the Hologram series (along with [game=#41697]Holosseum[/game]).
