About this game
One rainy day, a shy young girl named Kaoru was walking home from school.
Near her house, she found a puppy abandoned in a box.

She rescued the puppy, naming him "Pal", and cared for him dearly.
However, not long after, the prophet Nostradamus, having waited hundreds of years searching for the one who will finally make his predictions come true, has finally found the one he's been seeking.
It just so happens that this person is none other than Pal's owner, Kaoru.
Nostradamus sends his servants, who kidnap Kaoru, leaving Pal all alone.
The Seven Gods of Luck, taking pity on Pal, grant him a rare gift: a Fruit of Evolution.
Eating it, Pal transforms into a human.
Together with Kaoru's boyfriend Yukito and two lesser gods who work for the Seven Gods of Luck, Pal sets out to rescue Kaoru and stop Nostradamus! PAL is in most ways a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game.
The player orders each character in battle, choosing attacks, items, and techniques.
Equipment upgrades are represented as scrolls, and techniques can be upgraded as they are used.
Kaoru's boyfriend, Yukito is also an excellent cook and can learn a wide variety of recipes to create recovery and assist items for use in and out of battle.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks PAL: Shinken Densetsu for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding PAL: Shinken Densetsu to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1998.
