SNES: Final Fantasy III, 800 Nintendo Points
This classic RPG was known as Final Fantasy VI in Japan, but came over as III to the states on the SNES.

The Imperial Commandos try to fight back with their MagiTek weapons, but what havoc will be wreaked in the meantime?
Awesome, Square Enix is lending their support to the Virtual Console still. I’ve never played FFIII to completion, now might be the time. Or else I could play Kirby’s Dreamland, as 2D Kirby never fails.
