Comment on Finally got a Gensis (Megadrive) after years of wanting one!

Can I piggyback on this post? What are some good RPGs for the megadrive/genesis? I like to live translate games as I stream them and I’m looking for some text-heavy games, but it seems like the Super Famicom/SNES had a near-monopoly on RPGs.

In no particular order:

Shining Force 2 - though its combat is more on the tactical side, like Fire Emblem.

Langrisser - tactical combat

Shadowrun - possibly the best Shadowrun videogame before the 2013 releases

Sword of Vermillion - damn old and made by Sega themselves.

Beyond Oasis (Thor) - Zelda-like, graphics are super pretty

Crusader of Centy (Soleil)

Landstalker - isometric view and some platforming around

  Thanks so much! I’ll go check out my local used second-hand shop for these.

Phantasy Star IV is probably the best RPG of its generation IMHO

  My life revolved around PSO and PSO BB back in high school and university. I’ve been meaning to play the original series, so thanks for reminding me! I’m eyeing a copy of Phantasy Star on the Mark III on Mercari right now…
