History of: The Shining Series - Sega-16 Forums

**Melf** · 04-17-2009, 12:20 AM

Very few RPG series stand the test of time. Sure, a few sequels might spring up here and there over the course of a few years, but how many of them last for over a decade? I can think of a couple, like Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Zelda, and perhaps a few others. These all have their charm and place in gaming history, to be sure. There is one franchise, however, that while not exactly a series per se, it has endured in one incarnation or another for almost fifteen years...

... the Shining series. Read our full retrospective on this incredible line of games.

I think it's interesting that whenever someone talks about the history of the Shining series they always focus on the Camelot side of development. If you're going to talk about how shiny Beyond the Beyond and Golden Sun are, then you can't neglect mentioning LandStalker (which was originally going to be called Shining Rouge), or the obvious Shining Influence's in FEDA.

Being a regular at SFC I guess I'm just bored of hearing Camelot's praises. I'd like to read more about Climax.
