Quest 64 N64
Game Information
Quest 64, released as Holy Magic Century in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, is a single-player role-playing video game developed by Imagineer and published by THQ. It was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998 and was the first RPG released for the system in the United States. The game differs from most other RPGs in that the experience system is not based upon a traditional "level-up" model. Instead, experience is gained for specific stats based on how the player performs in battle. If the character gets hit a lot, for instance, defense will increase. Also, whenever the player finds a wispy white spirit, they can choose an element of magic to upgrade (from Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind). Leveling up these elements grants the character new attacks and strengthens existing ones. The game has no money system which is unusual for an RPG. Every item is either found in a treasure chest, given to the player character free of charge, or dropped by a monster, if the character doesn't have one already. If Brian runs out of HP, the game will return him to the last inn at which he saved. He retains all spells, items, and experience he has gained before death, but any items used before death will not be returned.

Additional Information
The battle system employs a turn-based format, where players freely move within a colored zone shaped like an octagon. Melee attacks are initiated with Brian's staff, and up to 50 elemental spells can be conjured in four schools of magic: fire, earth, water, and wind. Each school can become more powerful by finding 100 spirits hidden throughout the land. Also available to discover are a number of chests holding special items, from amulets to potions to food. Quest 64 includes support for the Controller Pak accessory, which is required to save progress.
