Line 1: {{work}} [[File:SMTImagine_1926.jpg\|frame]] Translated as ''True Goddess Reincarnation'' (and also known as simply [[Portmanteau Series Nickname\|''MegaTen'']]), [[Long Runner\|the ~~twenty~~thirty-~~five-year~~decade-old]] ''Shin Megami Tensei'' series by [[Atlus]] is one of the oldest JRPG franchises around today, and in Japan, its popularity and fame is right up there with ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy]]''. It remained unreleased in the West until ''Jack Bros'' for the [[Virtual Boy]]. The first major title released in the US was the first ''Persona'' game (and the first major game to come out in [[Macekre\|a recognizable form]] being the second half of ''Persona 2''); the series did not achieve real Western popularity until ''Persona 3'', however. Originally based on a novel series called ''[[Digital Devil Story]]'', the games tend to involve the use of computers (or similar cyberpunk elements) to summon and control demons that are plucked from practically every mythology on the planet. Post-apocalyptic ruins, engaging and heartbreaking storylines and far-out monster designs are cornerstones of the series.
