Stefan Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 So, i've been on short term disability for too long (lots of time on my hands)... Dusted off the old Genesis... and I'm 26... So I've had a lot of time to play try several consoles, through several gaming era's and play hundreds of games. Had the luxury of playing some real hidden gems too, and unfortunately likely missed just as many. So, why not share, and see if I can't kill my time a little better trying out some new games... So... I'll start. Shadowrun (GENS) Great open ended CyberPunk RPG... The amount of detail this game contains on such an old platform is pretty amazing... It's got a great atmsophere, and very fitting music. If you enjoy A) CyberPunk B ) Don't know what cyberpunk is, enjoy rpgs, and enjoyed BladeRunner (movie) C) Enjoy open ended rpg's on old consoles or D) All of the above, TRY IT! Shadowrun (SNES) Great linear RPG. A bit similar to it's GENS counter-part... But you're pretty much on a fixed path. Definitely worth playing, for the same reasons as the above mentioned (except the open ended rpg part, try this if you like linear rpgs) Gemfire (SNES) Like turn based war strategy games that don't drag on with politics or development? BAM! GEMFIRE'S FOR YOU! It's like the dumbed down version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms (same developer). If you haven't heard of RotTK, you likely don't enjoy turn based war strategy games, and needless to say, don't try Gemfire! Anyways, 3's enough for now.

Imuzi Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Do you only have a Genesis? (Also Genesis does what Nintendon't... burned into my memory) because there are a bunch of SNES and N64 games out there. Such as Paper Mario (N64) and Time Cop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodzillaDeuce Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This should probably be in Gaming... you might like Tactics Ogre for SNES, basically Final Fantasy Tactics before FFT existed If you're really into wasting time with RPGs, playstation is the best way to go. Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX and Tactics, Xenogears, Breath of Fire III and IV, Legend of Dragoon, Parasite Eve, Chrono Cross, Lunar SSS and EB, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnabyJoe Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Is the Secret of Mana for SNES unheard of? I always liked that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Maker Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hearts of Iron III Hardcore grand strategy game that appeals to a very niche audience. It has the steepest learning curve you'll ever find in a video game, but it's a time sink once you the hang of it. Killing Floor Online survivor horror. Consistently ranked in the top 15 popular games on Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
