Megami Tensei (女神転生 ,Goddess Metempsychosis), commonly abbreviated as MegaTen, is a Japanese console role-playing game series which was originally based on the novel series Digital Devil Story by Aya Nishitani (taking its name from the title of the first of those novels) and has become one of the major franchises of the genre in its native country (behind [[Final Fantasy]] and [[Dragon Quest]]). The games are published by Atlus with the exception of the Famicom games, which were published by Namco.
