Slayers
Slayers is a role-playing video game adaptation of the Slayers light novel series developed by BEC and published by Banpresto for the Super Famicom (SNES) exclusively in Japan in 1994.
Powerful, avaricious sorceress Lina Inverse travels around the world, stealing treasures from bandits who cross her path. Her latest victims, a band of thieves, wait in ambush in a forest, thirsting for revenge. When Lina is about to effortlessly pummel her would-be attackers, the swordsman Gourry Gabriev suddenly announces his presence. Assuming Lina to be a damsel in distress, the foolish yet magnanimous man confronts the brigands in order to rescue her. After defeating them posthaste, the oblivious cavalier decides to escort Lina to Atlas City. Though not very keen on this idea, she ends up accepting his offer.
However, without realizing it, Lina has chanced upon a mighty magical item among her most recent spoils. Now two mysterious men are hunting the young magician and her self-proclaimed guardian to obtain this powerful object for apparently nefarious purposes. This way they begin their adventure, one where the fate of the world itself may be at stake.

About This Game
Lina Inverse is a talented and ruthlessly mercenary sorceress who funds her travels by robbing bandits. When a gang she has just plundered sets an ambush in the forest, the swordsman Gourry Gabriev stumbles onto the scene, mistakes Lina for a damsel in distress, and insists on escorting her to Atlas City. Though Lina finds his company irritating, she accepts. What neither of them realizes is that Lina unknowingly picked up a powerful magical artifact in her most recent haul—and two mysterious men are now tracking her to recover it. The stakes, it turns out, may be far larger than one stolen trinket.
