ActRaiser
If taking on the roles of action heros, powerful mages, and plumbers who consume large quantities of psychotropic vegetation wasn't enough to make you feel empowered, along comes a game that outright makes you a god (or The Master/Protector, thanks to the Nintendo Censor Squad). Actraiser has two seperate parts: City building/simulation mode, and action mode. The former involves visiting the different cities on your planet, listening to the needs of the people, and acting accordingly. This may involve getting rid of monsters flying around, using lightning to clear land for city development, or creating rain in the desert so that the people there can grow crops. The other half, action, is a good old-fashioned 2D platformer. You assume a physical form on the planet's surface and use your sword and some magic power to eliminate monsters and their bosses.
