Old console RPG's...

What are some of your favorite RPG's for older systems (Sega and the like). I used to and stilld o love two games for Sega called Shining Force 1 and 2. Great games, the only reason why I still *have* my Sega. Anyone else play this? Or even hear of it? Go around finding NPC's to join your party, and you travel around a bit. I specially liked the wolf guy in Shining Force 1.

Soul here. I remember those games. They ROCKED! It was like a combination RPG and turn-based Strategy game, and it had the biggest groups of any role player I've ever played. My personal favourite character is Claude the Golem from the second one. Overall, I liked the second game better than the first, though I HATED the ending! I mean, they tell you you have to marry the princess, but first, oh yeah, Sarah was in love with you... Argh... I played it up to 'The Decision', then purposely stopped playing. I've never 'beaten' the game. I've killed Zeon, but never actually gotten to 'The End.' Which is a pity. Have you ever found the secret Ultimate Battle?

 

It belongs to quite a popular genre called SLG in Japan and Taiwan, including a lot of games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Hoshigami, Vanguard Bandit, Vandal Hearts, Front Mission and a helluva lot of PC games...

 

Soul: You mean where you fight all the main baddies in one battle?

 

Yes, being related to him, I do believe that he is reffering to that one. Which other one is there?

 

I have always been a ZELDA fan. My favorite has always been ZELDA: A Link to the Past.

 

To this day, Link to the Past was the best remakes of any "remake" game; ever.

It was a remake of Zelda1. That's not to say Zelda1 owned LttP, that's to say LttP was an outstanding game in a pit of completely worthless dog excrement that had been piled up over the course of 6 years and kept watered so it would stay moist and repungent.

But there's some other games which are good too. Legend of Gaia (or whatever it was called; it's been 7 years since I played it) was a good game. Final Fantasy 3/6 (the snes one; not the Japanese PC one) was good. Heck, I spent a lot of hours on Legend of Mana. Or whatever it was called.

But Link to the Past was the one that comes back to mind. I only played it for a couple of hours, then spent about a year without a SNES (I was floating on the Pacific Ocean during this hiatus), and came back to a snes and very soon after that purchase, a Nintendo64.

Link to the Past is a game I could still play to this day. I have it on emu, in fact.

God, help me. I could play it only if Link had a litesaber.

Jedi Link...Jedi Link...Jedi Link...

[edit: *whew*. Changed an ocean name. Fairly significant difference between Atlantic and Pacific...)

reepnorp: Dunno, might have ben something I never figured out before. But yes, I have found it and played it, but I don't think I ever won.

 

Yes, the first Zelda game for Nintendo was awesome. At first it was too damn easy, then I made my name Zelda, and it was almost like a whole new game! Well, not really, but it was still fun none the less.

 

Secret on Mana I and II. I think they rocked. It was also perhaps the first (and probably one of the only one's too) multiplayer RPG on a console, though I get the feeling someone is going to prove me wrong.

 

Definatly secret of mana!

Just playing the game for the cool moves and spells that change at level 8, one of the best i ever played.

 

Good to see someone agree's with me.
