I need to know some good RPGs for the Sega Genesis

[XboxMaster]

Hey, I just modded my Xbox, and I put the Genesis emulator and 150 roms for it on there. I sat down and tried to play some, I just skipped around and tried the ones that sounded cool. Most of them have been failures, and I don't know which ones are RPGs. So, could you tell me the best or some of the best RPGs for the Genesis?

[terribledeli]

I enjoyed the Phantasy Star series (Especially number four). Landstalker is easily my favorite Genesis game of all time. And the Shining Force series.

And Light Crusader is okay too.

[danh920]

shining force 1 and 2 are pretty cool

[btantra]

Don't forget :

- Shadowrun
- Crusader of Centy -- very Zelda like
- Beyond Oasis
- Traysia
- Warsong

Those are my favorite Genesis RPG

[GSJaia]

Shadowrun and Beyond Oasis are musts. :)

King's Bounty is decent fun for the few hours it lasts.

I am also biting my tongue to not make a comment....

Didnt work... You do own all of the original carts that you have roms for, correct? :D

[elprincipe]

^^^ yeah right.

[XboxMaster]

Oh yep, I also own all of my GBA roms and SNES roms. (sarcasm)

I hope when you grow up people come to where you work and steal whatever you've been working on.

Of course, I guess in the long run managers of fast food restaurants don't care if a few extra hamburgers get stolen.

[XboxMaster]

Well it doesn't matter anymore, cuz they obviously don't make anymore Sega Genesis carts (unless I'm terribly mistaken), so the ppl who created them have already been paid. :)

[JSweeney]

Oh yep, I also own all of my GBA roms and SNES roms. (sarcasm)

I'm more concerned about the GBA roms there. Those are still in production, and people still deserve to be paid for those. Notice, I didn't start barking until that specific comment was made.

Go with Phantasy Star 2 and 4 (3 is crap)
Shining Force 1 is all right...but SF2 is fantastic
Beyond Oasis, as someone else said, is a great ARPG.
Also, look into Landstalker if you get the chance.
And maybe Shining in the Darkness...it was a great game, but it may irritate you to know that there's only one (large) dungeon and one town for the entire game.

[minx]

shining in darkness is little more than a 3-D pen and pencil maze simulator-- the RPG trappings are just window dressing.

Along with sonic and phantasystar 3,I bought it with my genesis. If I had had more games, I probably wouldn't have ever finished it.

As it stands,it being the prequel to shining force firmly steered me away from that series until very recently-- tragic considering the game interfaces have little in common and the later games in the series are considered masterpieces.

[XboxMaster]

I was just kidding about the GBA roms, I don't have any. All I got are on my Xbox, and those are SNES, SG, and a few old arcade games.

[TiKi2]

Jsweeny just STFU I'm sure you've "STOLEN" some music off the net before. And what are you going to do preach him to death just get a life man .He can do what he wants and your gayass whining ain't ganna change his mind

[JSweeney]

Aw, isn't that cute. He's angry and he's started swearing. What a shock.

When you are capable of having a reasonable discussion without resorting to obscenity, then maybe I'll start to listen.

Well, that is not nearly so bad. It's still somewhat wrong, but it's very difficult to make a plausible argument for who it hurts. Sure, some companies do make anthology releases, but most don't. Unfortunately thier great games just fade into obsolesence... and that's just tragic.

[XboxMaster]

Well, it's not like Secret of Mana is gonna be a most played, that's because it's too old, now if EVERYONE started gaming when it was realeased then maybe it would be played alot. So, of course old games are gonna fade away.

[evilomar]

Ok my suggestion: Gunstar Heroes, great game for two players, like metal slug and Contra mixed together, one of Treasure's early games. I really don't see why some people get upset with emulated games, I personally don't even want to know how much I have spent on Videogames alone in the 17 years I have been buying them. I can see why it hurts some consoles though like the Dreamcast, man that was a bootleggers dream come true. I didn't start downloading games until I found out Sega gave up on the system, until then I was supporting their products and software. Regardless of whether you're a Doctor or a Manager at a burger joint its hard to resist free games. The old systems like SNES, Genesis, Turbo Graphix, and Sega Saturn are not around anymore so I really don't see why its wrong to download those roms. I can see why some people are not down with bootlegging games that have just come out or coming out. The thing is if your a grown-ass man, you can do whatever the hell you feel like doing, its up to you no matter what anyone else tells you that is wrong. You know the consequences by now I'm sure, so no need to lecture.

[TiKi2]

Jsweeny your just some fat shit virgin with no friends thats gets a joy out of criticizing people on a damn GAMING forum . Just get a life already.

[JSweeney]

Aw, isn't it cute. Now he is just angry, now he's formed a vendetta! This thread was dead for 2 days, and he resurrected for the sole purpose of taking a shot at me!

Awww.

Landstalker=Precurser to Alundra on the ps1. a true classic and my favorite game on the ps1.
