Role Playing Games For The Genesis

[GA01]

Apologies if this has been mentioned before . This isn't the sort of game that I would usually play but I'm finding myself becoming addicted to Shining Force 2. I have also found Shining Force as well as the Phantasy Star series. Just wondering what other RGP's are available for the Genesis.

The story of Thor is really good also.

King's Bounty and Starflight are excellent, but more rpg-ish than true rpgs for sure.

The Faery Tale Adventure, effeminate as it sounds, is an obscure one that I had some fun with. Warsong is an rpg more centered on combat but still fun, and an old favorite of mine is Gemfire, which really is more about military strategy but it's totally set in a world of wizards, monsters and the like. Check 'em out, you may have missed them.

Oh yeah, and D&D: warriors of Eternal Sun.

Sorry that some of these are only slightly RPGs, somewhat more adventure games, but it's slim pickin's on the Genesis. STill, I'm sure you'll like at least ONE of them.

One word: Shadowrun

Landstalker, shining force and the Phantasy stars are the only games i can think of... yeah, the MD wasn´t great for RPG´s, that´s why i´m addicted to the PSP version of osnes9x...

Isn't that two words? Shadow and run...

No, it's not. In the context of the game, a shadowrun is a sort of small-scale black op, performed by mercenaries typically contracted by a corporation and against another corporation (though corporations do not necessarily have to be involved at all).

Shadowrun is one of my favourite Genesis games. I really like the pen-and-paper RPG, too, but I don't really have anyone to play it with.

Soleil is quite good but some puzzles are strange

see you :lol:

I always wanted to check out the home version of Shadowrun too but had the same problem. Shame, seems like a cool premise.

Good suggestion, I don't know how I missed that one (love the snes version).

Shining Force 2 is probably the best of the Shining Force games. The first Shining Force game was ruined for me after playing the second - it just could not compete. I always thought Soleil was a bit easy but a great game none the less.

yeah, the MD wasn´t great for RPG´s

I'd definately agree with that. It strange how there's so many excellent ones for the Saturn

 

[GA01]

Thanks guys . I'll try a few of these out.

 

[Goemon4]

I tried that....I think it sucks...

All I know is Phantasy Star.

 

[Jegriva]

Anybody said Ring of Power, nut it doesn't run properly in DrMD

 

[Josquius]

The MD is really lacking in good RPGs now that I think, its a shame really.
I've just thought how awesome a homebrew Shenmue for the MD would be- top down of course...

Wonderboy 6 has some basic RPG elements and is pretty good as a platformer / RPG goes (plays a lot like Mystical Ninja). I also like PS4 and Shining Force. I dont think Sword of Vermillion has been mentioned yet :unsure:

 

[Josquius]

Wonderboy!
That's the one. I remember the RPG one of those. Rather good.
