Review
There is no review for the entire product. I've only made it through Arc 1 so far. :)

• On December 12th, 2005, Victor Ireland posted on the Working Designs message board that WD has been officially shut down.



• The first PlayStation release to feature every version of a game available at one time, all specifically for that system.



• The largest PlayStation game package ever released as far as total number of CDs at 4 complete games. The only one that can top it is Riven, which tops off at 5 game CDs, but all for one game.



• All four games were released separately between 1995 through 1999 in Japan.



• Released almost exactly 5 years after Alundra. It missed by a week.



• Created by the same company responsible for the insanely fast 2D fighting game Guilty Gear.
  
  
• Arc the Lad III was the first game in the series to go full 3D.
  
  
• Arc the Lad was the first ever strategy RPG for the PlayStation in Japan.
  
  
• The final PlayStation game to be released by Working Designs. They would have 3 PS2 releases before finally closing up shop.
  
  
• Working Designs has brought over games created by console developers for their own systems. Sony of Japan created Arc the Lad, while they brought several of Sega of Japan's own titles to the Saturn.
  
  
• While the current trend of modding systems has led to 'skins' (vinyl stickers for consoles), Arc was the first modern day authorized game to require players to dismantle their controller to a small degree. The default rubber grips would have to be removed for the included Arc versions to be successfully applied.
  
  
• There's a hidden game of checkers using the game's slime enemy as the playing pieces buried on the "Making of" CD. At the chapter selection screen, soft press Circle, Circle, X, Square, Square, Triangle, Circle, X, Square. If done correctly the game will load. If the movie for the CD starts, you're pressing the X too hard/slow.  
  
  
• For an amusing message, during Chapter 5 of the "Making Of" CD hit the built in pause button at roughly 1:28 on the clock. If you read the lines of programming, it comes off as reading "Must delete hentai (porn) library off of laserdiscs..."
