Play Black Onyx, The (Japan) Game
The Black Onyx was created in Japan, by Henk Rogers and his Japanese team at Bullet-Proof Software. It was one of the first RPG hits in Japan. One mechanic that may have originated with this game (a health bar that slowly turned form blue to red in lieu of hit point numbers) has penetrated into other genres.
