It sometimes shows its age, but also holds up remarkably well to this day. The story is a typical ‘young warrior leaves home, leads ragtag band of adventurers on quest to destroy ancient evil’ one, but the game is all about relatively uncomplicated strategy-RPG gameplay".
Sega Genesis had a handful of outstanding RPGs like Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force II. Outside of the very best examples, many of the Sega Genesis RPGs did not get the amount of recognition they deserved.
Yes OMG.. I didn't know it was called this.. In Europe it was called Soleil.
I remember restarting it as soon as I finished it..
Story of Thor, Light Crusader deserve a special mention!!!
Hell yes.. I remember reading about that code in a gaming magazine when I was a kid, lol
Even if the Sega franchise strikes you as dabbling in old school gaming, it is well worth a look at the systems. Some of the original Sega CD (or Mega-CD in Europe) games have an astounding amount of appeal that lovers of all things gaming should consider giving a try.
Silpheed, Android Assault, Lords of thunder, Solfeace, flying squadron. That's why I own Mega cd.
Maybe one day Konami won’t be lame and they can release a Sega CD collection with Snatcher.
the only problem with owning a Sega CD is the hardware is less than reliable nowadays. I have an Analogue Mega SG which is an updated version of a genesis along with a Mega SD cartridge which allows me to play Sega CD games off of it. I have the entire Genesis / Sega CD library on the cart and it's great. Although many of these games do not hold up well, lol.
To be honest I own the original tech, but i also have a raspberry pi build with all Mega cd games I want. So the old tech doesn't die.
Sega is hosting a series of Twitter polls to determine which Sonic the Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo, and Shining Force series titles will be included in the upcoming Mega Drive Mini.
How about all of them? If you're going to release this thing, then include every Mega Drive game published by Sega.
If you're not going to include all of them, then what is the point? People are just going to buy the Mega Drive Collection on pc, ps4, xbox one or Switch.
