PS 1 was one of those games. You can get to know how the FM music sounded downloading the japanese ROM from internet and using emulators that can play FM, like Meka or Massage.

Japanese Master System had a FM chip, and some cartridges could play better songs. PS 1 was one of those games. You can get to know how the FM music sounded downloading the japanese ROM from internet and using emulators that can play FM, like Meka or Massage. |

PS 1 fans often come to a question about this fact. When you go to Motavia for the first time, a man offers you a rare animal for 1 billion mesetas. As you don’t have that money, he proposes to trade it for your Laconian Pot, and thus you get Myau, your fist companion. |
|
|
Because the Laconian Pot is an important item, which later you’ll have to get back from dr. Mad, many people have asked themselves whether it’s possible to gather 1 billion mesetas and buy Myau. The answer is no. You can’t gather that ammount of money. The maximum you earn is 65,535 mesetas. Even if you kill more enemies, your ammount of mesetas won’t raise. |
| . |
|
To reach the governor of Motavia, Alis and friends must buy a cake at Naura’s cave. The baker tells you that the shortcake costs 1000 mesetas. |
|
|
However, for some strange reason, you spend only 280 mesetas. In fact, you don’t have to gather 1000 mesetas to buy the cake. Only 280 will be enough. |
| . |
| After finding Myau and Odin, Alis goes with her friends to the Governor of Motavia. |
|
|
The Governor gives a letter that you’ll show to Noah, the last member of the group. After that, Alis, Myau and Odin fall asleep (in front of the Governor, how embarrassing!). |
|
Then the group is attacked by Saccubus, a very strong monster. Because it’s still the beginning of the game, it’s almost impossible to kill it and the group loses the fight, but in the end it was only a dream. However, if everyone in the group is strong enough, it’s possible to defeat Saccubus. |
|
|
But such an effort isn’t worth. Saccubus leaves only 10 experience points and not even a single chest of mesetas. The game goes on, the group wakes up and talks to the Governor. |
| . |
|
During the game, Alis’s group fight against the evil dr. Mad and recover the Laconian Pot. Close to the end, when the group is on their way to Baya Malay to begin the long way up to Lassic, you must cross this cave to reach the lava. |
|
| This cave isn’t big. You start at the southeast part and must reach the northwest part to leave. However, at the southwest part, behind a corner, you find dr. Mad again. |
| The group is strong now, and you can kill dr. Mad in a few rounds, even without the protection magic. |
|
| However this second dr. Mad doesn’t leave any item, only a chest with mesetas. He always appears when the group passes by here, and he no longer has any effect on the game, he’s just another enemy. |
| . |
|
Anselmo Portes told me about this very interesting curiosity. To finally find Lassic, the group needs to climb to the next level of Baya Malay tower. |
|
| Up there, you give Myau the Laerma Nut and he (she?) raises wings to reach the sky castle. In the middle of the flight, the group is attacked by a Golden Dragon. |
| If Myau has few HPs, the Golden Dragon may kill him. But the whole group is sitting on flying Myau, remember? |
|
| Then, besides the message that Myau died, you also get a message “Alis and her company on Myau are tossed into the sky”. All the others die automatically and it’s game over. |
| . |
|
Monocromático wrote about this curiosity. During the fight against Dark Falz, the last enemy, you can let Alis die. |
|
|
If the rest of the group manage to defeat the monster, you get the message “Alis hears Nero’s voice in the depth of her soul; “You’ll be reborn to fight for peace again.” Alis ressurrected.” and the game ends as usual. According to Monocromático, this a pretty nice link to PS Gaiden’s story. |
| . |
|
There’s a situation that’s well known by phans, where the characters can get stuck in a part of the game with no possibility to move on. That happens when you go to Lassic’s castle and, during the fight, Myau dies. |
|
|
The problem is when Myau dies, you used all of Alis’ magic points and you don’t have a Transer. It means you can’t get out of the castle. |
|
Albert Viudes Dick showed another unexpected situation. It happens when you’re about to build your space ship and the last church you visited was Paseo’s church, on Motavia. When you manage to build the ship with Luveno, Hapsby can take you to new destinations. |
|
| However, if you use a Transer or Alis’ Fly magic, the group goes back to the last visited church, which means you’re back to Paseo. |
| That’s the big problem: you can’t use the space port anymore. |
|
| And you can’t go anywhere else either, because there are mountains and ant-lions around and, at this point of the game, you don’t have the Landrover. |

There are references to Sega in two games of the series. In PS 1 you find Miki at the city of Sopia and she asks you whether you like Sega Games. |
