Ys I & II consists of early enhanced remakes of the first two games released in the Ys series, [[Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished]] and [[Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished – The Final Chapter]]. It was one of the first video games to use CD-ROM, which was utilized to provide enhanced graphics, animated cut scenes, a Red Book CD audio soundtrack, and voice acting. The game's English localization was also one of the first to use voice dubbing.

In both games the player controls a red-haired swordsman named Adol Christin. In the first game he must seek out the six Books of Ys. These books contain the history of the ancient, vanished land of Ys, and will give him the knowledge he needs to defeat the evil forces currently sweeping the land of Esteria.
