Explore retro games like never before. Pardall Games is live!

Pardall Games is an interactive digital museum of retro games, a platform for art references and study, and for gaming preservation.

Explore retro games like never before! Starting with Final Fantasy 7 like it has never been seen before. After multiple months of research, tool creation, mapping (and re-mapping over and over again), and manual content curation, tagging and cataloguing, the Pardall Games website is public!

Explore in 3D Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil 2, Baroque, Boku no Natsuyasumi (My Summer Time) and King's Field I (Japan version) from the Play Station 1 (PSX). See the games.

• See Knights of the Round in action.
• Or check the summons.
• Or check the summon models and VFX.
