i was gunna start a poll for this but decided to get some input first, so name youre favorite 8-bit rpg

mine goes to phantasy star, simply beautiful game and fun to play

Im not entirely sure what my fav is, but PS1 is defintely up there, I did not really play it until the release of the GBA collection and I was amazed at how well it held up over the years, in addition the graphics are really nice for 8bit. I got the the last liar though and got distracted...i should go back and finish it.

I gotta go with Dragon Warrior 3. Kick it.

I still break out the first Final Fantasy every now and then to play. The best of the FF series.

Tied for second would be Crystalis (that counts right?) and Destiny of an Emperor.

Chrono Trigger.

call me new school but i still cant get anywhere in ff

there was a might and magic game released for nes that really kicked ass, also, bard's tale ^^

My all time favorite is Dragon Warrior 1. First console RPG I ever played. I still go through that game once a year. This is more of a sentamental fave though, I think DW 3 is by far a much more quality RPG.

whats so funny with Chrono trigger its a kick ass cool game but my favorite and first RPG i played was Breath of Fire for SNES it was great but was it 16 bit i dunno

8-bit = nes, sms, gamegear, gameboy/color...umm any others?

Hey, if we're counting the GameBoy and GameGear, then I must throw in Shining Force II on GG, and Final Fantasy Legend 2 on the GB. FFL2 was game that convinced me to get a GB way back in the day.

Destiny of an emperor was my fav back in the day but im not sure how it holds up now.. Crystallas I have a bunch of memories with that game too. I remember being on a website when they mentioned that "today is doomsday" according to Crystallas, and gave the date... it was sometime in 1999 i believe

Dragon Warrior 1. Recognize.

Had you asked me 64 bit, the answer would have been Chrono Trigger. Had you asked me 128 bit, the answer would have been Chrono Trigger. Had you asked me 32 bit, the answer would have been Chrono Trigger. And obviously, if you asked me 16 bit the answer would be CORRECTLY answered as Chrono Trigger.

That couldn't make any less sense.

Shh! I'm trying to hide the fact that I read 8bit as 16bit!!

No offense, and I realize I probably stand alone on this one, but...I thought Chrono Trigger was sort of crappy. I just couldn't get into the game. Watched a roommate in college play through it, still thought it was blah.

dragon warrior 1 was great was my first rpg too.

ff1 was great too. i would say both of them tie as my fav's for 8bit.


Fav ff game is probably FF2 for snes.

My votes go to Phantasy Star on the SMS and Crystalis on the NES.

Final Fantasy on NES, I used to hate doing that stupid "hold the reset button while saving" thing.
