Valis: The Fantasm Soldier (Genesis / Mega Drive)

Good old anime that pits a typical high school girl that just wants to live a normal high school life against a world full of magic, fantasy, and evil.  Valis was one such game to do this on the Genesis, and arguably the most popular one to do so.  Tight controls, interesting enemies, and this anime-inspired theme were prevalent throughout the game as Yuko attempted to fulfill her destiny as the Valis warrior.

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne (PlayStation)

This has to be one of the most charming video games that I've ever played.  Between the art, the Saturday morning cartoon vibe, the servebots, and some fun missions, there's a lot to like about The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.  I actually like the game a bit more than Mega Man Legends.  Scandalous?  Perhaps.  Unfortunately it's extremely hard to track down a copy of the game these days.  I don't see it up on eBay very often, and it's usually going for a fair bit when one does go up for auction.  Still, one of Capcom's greatest games ever as far as I'm concerned.
