Terranigma
Terranigma is a 1995 action role-playing game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System developed by Quintet and published by Enix. It is the story of the resurrection of the world (as we know it), and its progress from prehistoric times to the near future.
Terranigma keeps a constant top-down view of the world. Instead of turn based battles, which were common in most RPGs at this time, Terranigma utilizes a combat system that allows the player to perform different attacks based on whether or not the player is running, in a jump, tapping the attack button, or a combination of the three.

Plot
The game is divided into four distinct chapters, each with its own major premise, with one overriding plot ties it all together. In Terranigma, the earth is portrayed as a hollow sphere. The game begins on the inside/underside. The player controls the spear-wielding hero, Ark.
Ark is a troublemaker of a boy who lives in Crysta, the only town in this "underworld". After opening a door he was told not to open, everyone in the town is frozen. Therefore, he is guided by the elder of Crysta to resurrect the continents of the world in order to unfreeze the people. A way out of his hometown, previously unknown to him for no one ever before had left the paradise-like small Crysta, appears. He sets out on a journey through the underworld, which is portrayed as a frozen wasteland of imposing mountains of ice and crossed by rivers of magma, towards the five towers. Along this path, a large amount of trialling dangers have a door each that leads towards a form of control room on the planetary core on which the continents are "revived". Emerging on the surface of the outside world again after resurrecting the continents and restoring his hometown back to normal, Ark is told that he must now guide the newborn world as it grows. He then set out on a journey for the outside world, which he finds to be a barren wasteland with no life on it. He must resurrect the world, as well as all the lifeforms on it.
