The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Like RPGs? Good! We’ve got a review of the one that started the entire line of Shining games. Sega’s 1991 monster adventure, Shining in the Darkness, ushered in a new era of quality titles that have all maintained some sort of relation to each other, and have spawned over fifteen entries on more than half a dozen consoles. Read on, and see where it all began.
First among great 16-bit RPGs, the monster that is Phantasy Star II still intimidates gamers to this day. It’s massive quest and brutal difficulty sometimes overshadow what is a downright awesome game. You need to play this one, friends. Luckily for you, we have a review to get you in the mood!
Some say it’s the best in the series. Some say it’s the best Genesis RPG ever made. However you feel about it, there’s no denying that Phantasy Star IV is the a monster of a finale that sent the original storyline out with one hell of a bang.
One of the most underrated RPGs around, Eye of the Beholder on the Sega CD deserves your attention. Featuring a deep quest, excellent exploration, and a soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro himself, this one is a must-have for all RPG fans!
Fatal Labyrinth is a game you desperately want to like, but it just doesn’t let you. An RPG with over three dozen levels, its random dungeons make each playthrough unique, and the presentation and exploration are very fun. However, Sega’s inexplicable decision to omit a password or save feature nearly ruins the entire experience, and you’re left with a massive quest that has to be done in a single sitting.
