Trivia
Beside being the starting point of one of the most successful and long-running RPG series and of semi-humorous RPGs in general, "Tengai Makyou: Ziria" holds another record that will never be broken: it was the first role-playing game (and one of the first games generally) that came on a CD ROM.
