Atelier Marie: The Alchemist of Salburg Ver. 1.3 #BestOfSaturn

Life is tough for young, budding alchemist Marie, toiling away in her workshop in Salburg. Atelier Marie: The Alchemist of Salburg Ver. 1.3 is a Gust-developed December 1997 enhanced port of the PlayStation original title.

A role-playing game, players take control of Marie as she studies books, forages for items, does battle, and synthesizes items. A mix of simple overworld maps and still images, the Saturn version uses the internal clock for time-sensitive dialogue and messages, and includes a seventh possible ending compared to the PS’s six.

The game is pretty cool — it spawned an entire franchise!

		A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming 'firsts' were commonplace.  There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
