[Dark Age Iron Savior]

my signature is a symbol of my procrastination, I am not looking forward to trying to get S ranks on those item finding missions.

I had a page up on the IC wiki about what little I knew about it before it apparently got taken down (long after I had forgotten I was procrastinating working on articles on it). Basically, besides the setting, what interests me about the game (which started as a first-person dungeon crawler on Japanese PCs) is all the little touches it has that made it unique for it's time, like it's limit break-style special system, having to use special items/attacks to defeat ethereal enemies, and the fact that you didn't earn money from defeating enemies - you had to have journalist-class character take their pictures and then sell them, and they might come out bad and you'd get half the money.

The game starts out in a haunted mansion but that goes into a castle in another dimension and then it gets kind of weird. I should probably play through it someday - there's a partially finished translation patch over at AGTP, which Gideon has been meaning to finish up for quite a while.
