Interesting how there's a mix of seminal games like the Zelda games and Deus Ex, and more obscure ones like Winback Covert Ops, which gave us... cover shooting. Grr.

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.

That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.

A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get

I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
