===Shin Megami Tensei II===
Released in 1994 for Super Nintendo, with 2002 Playstation and 2003 Gameboy Advance remakes.

A rarity amongst SMT games, this is the ''direct sequel'' to the Neutral ending of the original SMT. Set decades later, something has gone horribly wrong; the [[3.6 Roentgen|air of the world is now unbreathable]] except to demons, and humanity has retreated into an enclosed city called Tokyo Millennium, which is run by a resurgent Messian cult.

You play Hawk, an amnesiac gladiator living in the Valhalla district and competing in a fighting tournament for the right to win in the Center, the best part of the city, whose inhabitants enjoy lives of luxury. When he wins, however, you learn he is actually Aleph; prophesied savior of the human race chosen to bring about the paradise of the Thousand Year Kingdom. Aleph is promptly equipped with a Demon Summoning Program and sent out to begin clearing demons to prepare for the coming Thousand Year Kingdom, only for his beliefs in the rightness of his cause to come into question.

This was the demon fusion system first achieved a semblance of its perfected form and other plot elements, such as the idea of YHVH being the ultimate reason why Order is an Evil Faction, being cemented in the meta-canon. It's also the first game where the idea of Satan and Lucifer being good guys (yes, guys plural, they're separate characters) is introduced.
