Quest 64 (also known as Holy Magic Century) was an RPG released for the N64 in 1998. It is notable for being the first released RPG on the N64. The game places you in the role of Brian, a young sorcerer who sets out to rescue his kidnapped father. Quest 64 was almost universaly panned by reviewers upon it's release due to it's simplicity and it's frequent random battles.

Gameplay

As a sort of fusion between Super Mario 64 and Final Fantasy, Quest 64 has the lead player move about in a three-dimensional environment, exploring buildings, townships, and various territories, speaking with people and collecting items, particularly those that will enhance your element-based magic powers in battle. Speaking of which, the player can either use his walking staff or any of his magic powers to attack any of his targets. There's also the option to try running away from a battle, though it doesn't always work.
