Ancient Roman: Power of Dark Side

A PS1 RPG with 3-D models and pre-rendered backdrops, Ancient Roman was released in 1998 by Nihon System, but exploded into internet infamy in the late 2010s as word of the game began to spread through Japanese gaming circles. It is now widely considered to be one of the worst RPGs ever made by Japanese retro gamers.

The game's story, such as it is, follows protagonist Kai, who has grown up under in a village that lives under the subjugation of monsters.
