Every great series has to start somewhere. In this video, we take a deep dive into the origins of Shin Megami Tensei with an extended narrated playthrough/discussion of the Super Famicom classic, as well as a comparison of the many ports it received. Whether you're a veteran of the series or a newcomer, it's never a bad time to take a little trip through 199X Tokyo.
