Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei (1987) is one of the most important RPGs ever made — it launched the Megami Tensei franchise, which would evolve into the Shin Megami Tensei series and eventually the worldwide phenomenon Persona. Published by Namcot for the Famicom, the game pioneered the demon negotiation and fusion systems that became the franchise's signature mechanics — players could talk to, recruit, and combine demons rather than simply fighting them. Based on the novel by Aya Nishitani, the game's blend of modern-day settings, occult themes, and mythological creatures was radically different from the medieval fantasy RPGs of the era. This is where one of gaming's most influential franchises began. A holy grail for RPG collectors.
