Genesis RPGs

I just bought a Genesis 2 at a garage sale for $10. Aside from Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force 2, what are some other good RPGs?

 

Landstalker if you wan't a zeldaish action/rpg

The sega CD is where the Lunar series is at along with a few other RPG gems, so I suggest picking up that addon as well.

 

Beyond Oasis is another good action/"RPG", the more traditional RPGs are pretty lame on Genesis.

 

Crusader of Centy is a real good one you should try. Just form looking at the screens you can see the Zelda influence, but it stands alone as a unique action rpg.

 

there was a captain tsubasa released on the genesis. I think it was an enhanced port of the Famicom version ^_^

 

Captain Tsubasa? Isn't that a soccer (football) anime?

 

yes, and its also a very addictive sports RPG (most of the games in the series at least)

 

Warsong / Langrisser. More strategy than rpg I guess but a damn classic!

 

Okay. Thanks all.

 

If you dig strategy, Warsong is a good title (and a port of one of the Langrisser games to boot.) I have a particular fondness for Dungeons and Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun as it's based on Basic D&D rules, pre-WOTC. The Genesis also has the best version of Pirates! Gold on any non-PC device, which was a cool sandbox RPG before it became a cliche.

 

I second the Beyond Oasis/Story of Thor recommendation, one of my all time favorites. :thumbsup:

 

I'd add Shining Force 1, Shadowrun

 

Shadowrun, OF COURSE! How could I forget the magical, gun toting goodness of Shadowrun? Much better than SNES title.

 

Not sure how good the actual game is, since I haven't had time to play it, but you could add Beggar Prince to the list.

 

I second both Story of Thor, and my personal favourite, Soleil (Crusader of Centy), the first RPG I've ever played. Light Crusader is another great RPG.

 

i always thought beyond oasis/story of Thor 1 and 2 were on the Saturn?

 

2 is, 1 is md.

How could I forget Buck Rogers. Looks crap, plays like a dream. Too much fun! Pierre jury rigged the controls, get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i could have sworn that i saw a CD version of SoT! Maybe mega CD?:S

 

You need nothing else than ps4.

 

I'm pretty sure there's only a Mega Drive version of the first part of the series (Beyond Oasis/The Story of Thor for MegaDrive/Genesis-VC and Legend of Oasis/The Story of Thor 2 for Saturn).
