Description
An ancient civilization, once produced amazing break-throughs in science and biology. This knowledge was used to create plants and animals, to better the life on Earth. But as everything is...this knowledge was curruptable. People began creating horrid beasts, with a taste for war, and a perverse intellegence. The world began to crumble, and a glorious battle between the 'Knights of Light', and the 'Knights of Darkness' took place. After a long and strenuos battle, with no end in site, the 'Chaos Comet' was constructed. This powerful weapon was meant to end the war and bring peace to the Earth... but it ended up all but destory the 'Knights of Light and Darkness'. The comet twisted and mutalated, many of the people and animals on earth. The Comet returns every hundred years, to bring disease and death to earth...

Overlooked SNES Game by Billy 14 Jan 2008
Illusion of Gaia is one of the very well hidden gems for the Super Nintendo. It's very similar to Zelda, but throws in a couple new elements and some cool new features.

In Illusion of Gaia, you play the role of Will, the son of a famous adventurer who was lost in the Tower of Babel. Will somehow mysteriously made it back, but he has no memory of what happened. He's thrust into an engrossing adventure that will hold your attention. He's helped along the way by his friends though, and he finds out that he has mystical powers.

The gameplay is a bit like Zelda, but it's updated. The only things you have to equip are items, such as herbs and magic jewels (more on those later). For the most part, you gain strength by defeating all the enemies in a room, usually around 15 to 30. You are then awarded a jewel which raises your base HP, strength, or defense. If you miss a jewel then there's usually no way to recover it.

Illusion of Gaia is the best adventure game on the Super Nintendo with a deep story. While it can be considered a Zelda knockoff, it's much more, and it has a good story to back it up. Highly recommended at any price.
