RPG's and Strategy Games (Update 3)

[gerorne]

I know there are a lot of great games out there, but I'm going to most likely play RPG's, or simple classic games like Arkanoid on my Treo 650. Partly because of preformance issues, and partly because of the controller set up... and I love RPG's anyway =P.

What RPG's (and Strategy games) are out there?

The list so far, with kromboy's, pdamonkey's, reaper's, srraziel's, and bigglesworth's suggestions:

--SNES
Bahamut Lagoon
Breath of Fire I and II
Chrono Trigger
Der Langrisser
Earthbound
Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI
Front Mission
Illusion of Gaia
Lufia 1 and 2
Mario RPG
Ogre Battle
Romancing Sa-Ga 1, 2, and 3
*Rudra no Hihou (Treasure of the Rudras)
Secret of Evermore
Secret of Mana
Tactics Ogre
Tales of Phantasia
Terranigma
Treasure Hunter G
Zelda: A Link to the Past


--NES
Dragon Warrior IV (I&II and III are better on Gameboy Color)
Final Fantasy I, II, and III
Zelda I and II

--Gameboy
Dragon Warrior I&II and III
Dragon Warrior Monsters
Drgaon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey and Tara's Adventure
Pokemon Blue, Red, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal

--Genesis
Beyond Oasis
Phantasy Star II, III, and IV
Shining Force I and II

--SMS
Phantasy Star I

--Game Gear
Defender of Oasis
Phantasy Star Gaiden

--Turbo Grafix 16
*Neutopia 1 and 2
*Military Madness


What else is out there?

[kromboy]

well there are the Dragon Quest series.
and.. Seiken Densetsu is good

Romancing Saga

all good RPG's

and if you want strategy games..

Ogre Tactics, Tactics Ogre (actually different games)
Der Langrisser
Bahamut Lagoon..

I personally prefer strategy games for LJP.. it's just easier to control and the gameplay doesn't suffer at all from lack of controls and the small screen that makes most action games suffer in gameplay.

[kromboy]

Secret of Evermore
Illusion of Gaia
Terranigma
Lufia
Front Mission
Tales of Phantasia (surprisingly runs well for a such huge rom)
Treasure Hunter G

not all RPG's though...

[kromboy]

d**n.. for GB I'd recommend Dragon Quest Monsters.. it's such a great game

much better than that lame ass Pokemon..

and it's Dragon Warrior in US and Quest in Japan.

[kromboy]

yeah I meant Ogre Battle..
my bad

and Front Mission Gun Hazard is pretty lame.. at least for my taste..

[pdamonkey]

Phantasy Star I is on the SMS not GENESIS. The Game Gear has a couptle, Phantasy Star Gaiden and Defender of Oasis. The latter one is quite good.

Don't for get the Zelda games. There's Zelda: A Link to the Past on the SNES, Zelda I and II on the NES and Zelda: Link's Awakening on the GB/GBC.

[Reaper]

You guys already have almost all I can think of.

1 more:

Genesis

Beyond Oasis

[srraziel]

Yes.. all the good games that i can think of were already listed, but recently i discovered a very good RPG that wasn't so famous... it's called Treasure of the Rudras (Rudra no Hihou), its very good, u should try it

[bigglesworth]

For the turbografx system I recommend Neutopia 1 and 2 (rpgs) and Military Madness (strategy). Once we get a working tg16 module these games are good ones to try.

dragon quest III remake on the GBC. initially its a bit simple, but spend an hour or two getting into it and you'll be HOOOKED...

[pokeme444]

also Shining Force II crashes (at least for me) unless you have the CPU core set to C

[pixel]

[NES]
Little Ninja brothers
[SNES]
Harvest Moon
Simcity 2000 [Strategy]
Metal Marines [Strategy]

All of them can be found at LINK REMOVED: DON'T POST LINKS TO SITES WITH COMMERCIAL ROMS for free
P.S you need to know russian language and have cyrrilic fonts installed

[zaedyn]

I highly recommend buying imports of Dragon Quest V and VI, they only came out on the Super Famicom. Important them, rip the roms, and then apply translation patches (http://dejap.com/projects.php) if you don't speak Japanese.

V and VI are great. They're doing a remake of V, but you never know if it'll come to the US. If VIII does well for the PS2 , maybe they'll bring over the V remake. No news on VI though.

Ys 4 the Dawn of Ys has been translated for SNES and it's fun too, if you like oldschool action-RPGs. Ys III is also an action RPG on SNES and Genesis; SNES version is better.

hey did u just missed 7th saga on Snes? Maaan, what a game!

[s19locke]

Personally I thought Warriors of the Eternal sun for sega was a pretty good action/Rpg/Dungeon crawler based on D&D
