But an accident happened, and the humans were thrown into a parallel universe.
Years have passed until they have adapted themselves to the different civilization.
This parallel world, composed of three huge continents, is called Babel.
Zell is a teenage boy, an orphan who lives in a post-apocalyptic world riding his bike, together with his friend Alice, who is like a big sister to him.
One day they meet a mysterious girl named Sefia who seems to be on an important mission.
Their struggle against evil begins at that moment...
Babel is a Japanese-style RPG set in a futuristic world.
Zell and his party travel around the world, visiting large cities and encountering many randomly appearing enemies.
During the turn-based battles, each character can use a variety of attacks with different weapons, as well as special techniques.
The combat window shows animated moves of the party members.
Unlike in most role-playing games, characters do not receive experience points from defeating enemies; only money is gained.
The characters level up according to the player's progress in the narrative.
About TurboGrafx CD
The TurboGrafx-CD (1989) was one of the earliest CD-ROM add-ons for a home console, expanding the TurboGrafx-16's library with games too large for cartridges. Its already-niche parent platform combined with the added cost of the CD add-on kept the North American audience small, making complete TurboGrafx-CD sets a genuinely rare find for collectors today.
Gamevaro tracks Babel for TurboGrafx CD with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Babel to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This TGCD release dates back to 1992.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Babel, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common TurboGrafx CD titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
