Old games you love to play.Follow

So i decided to dust off one of my favorite old RPG games Breath of fire III, and it kinda started a non-stop quest to find and old RPG game that i some how missed for the NES or SNES. Anyone have some good old RPG games that are sorta how finalfantasy games work where you have random battles ect.

Lufia 1 followed by 2. I think they're great RPG's, despite me never finishing them, or actually getting that far... ...I really should get to that sometime.

Super Mario RPG was the second rpg that made me love them. I might just be a sucker for a short fat "plumber" but I found it colorful and somewhat challenging. Not to mention the humor that is liberally thrown at you. Although now that I think about it, the battles weren't really random per say. Sure there were parts that had a random element on the spawn of enemies but for the most part you could see them on the screen and you get to choose whether you wanted to fight them or not.

NES:

Final Fantasy
Dragon Warrior
Dragon Warrior 2
Dragon Warrior 3
Dragon Warrior 4
Crystalis
Faxanadu
Hydlide (if you want to scratch your eyes and your brains out)
Willow


SNES:

Lufia
Lufia II
Secret of Evermore
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy IV (or FF2 in the U.S.)
Final Fantasy VI (or FF3 in the U.S.)
Illusion of Gaia
Lagoon
Super Mario RPG
Tecmo Secret of the Stars
Ys 3
Landstalker


All the above were released in the U.S., but if you are actually using an emulator there are TONS of others you could look into... problem is you'll have to find them translated or at least where you can patch them to be translated.

I use to have a link to a RPG site that listed some of the better RPG games to look for, but I can't seem to find it. (it WAS NOT a ROM site... I thought it was RPGVault or something... but that isn't it.

Also... if you just opened your list up to Sega Genesis RPGs... then WHHHOOOAAAA!!!! There were some awesome ones there too.

Oh I just remembered another one, Paladin's Quest for the SNES. I found it fairly challenging due to how healing is handled and that if you cast a spell you loose health. A quote in the game "MP? Where did you hear such superstitious nonsense?".

When I was in college, my parents moved from MA to FL. We held a garage sale, and I sold my old Sega Gensis, SNES, and N64. I really miss some of my SNES games... Earthbound, FF3 (back when it was 3, and not called VI), Legend of Zelda, Super Mario RPG... I miss those old games! Especially Earthbound, which was hilarious and unique.

I did, however, keep my regular Nintendo. I broke out Mario 3 last year and beat it in like an hour (a lot easier using warp whistles). I also beat the original Legend of Zelda. Ah, good times.

While not an "old" game by age definition, some games I always go back to are Portal and the Resident Evil series. I have replayed those games more than perhaps any others.

I guess that's why she didn't move around a lot.
