Classic gamers should have fond memories of Sparkster, the heroic opossum and star of Konami’s Rocket Knight titles, which appeared on the Genesis and Super Nintendo. Well, after a long hiatus, the armor-wearing protagonist returns in an all-new adventure, Rocket Knight, available on both Xbox Live and PSN.
The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star
Shining Force 1, 2 and 3 were awesome, the third one can only be played with emulation along with the translation project because of Episode 2 and 3 that were only released in JP. But I agree, I don't know why SEGA don't revive this franchise, tactics games are very well accepted these days.
I didn't know that about the third one. After the success of the last Fire Emblem, I can't imagine why we don't get more tactics RPGs out there. I'd even take a tactics ogre at this point
YES
i love shining force. i need a bundle with all the games in it.
but the mobile game is coming soon anyways :)
I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2
Here's my pick for still holding up and fun
- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3
Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.
-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world
those are the ones that come to mind ha.
Sega CD version is so much better though.. I had both versions back in the 90's
The November Games with Gold lineup is here.
Well, you should get an Xbox to play games despite a terrible GWG. GWG isn't a selling point to many.
There are many knights that make up lore in video games. Some jump on platforms. Did your favorite platforming knight make the list?
