Second PS3, playing as your descendants was a really cool touch. I think I saw a more recent game utilizing similar mechanic, released around 2010~, but I'm blanking on the title.

Ooh, are the descendants predetermined, or do you get to hook your party up in different configurations for different ones, like Dragon Quest 5's kids?

Nice meme. :D ... wait a second. You serious, right? I always thought of Chakan as not a good game. It's the first I see someone recommending it. No offense!

Skill issue, no offense 😆

This is the first "What should I play on early Sega?" thread that already has almost all my favourites. In fact, many of them are in OP's list. But to reiterate some added by other commenters: The "Strike" games (Jungle, Desert, and Urban) Flashback (I agree that the MegaCD version is the best single version, but the fan community has been building a Frankenstein's monster from the best parts o...

I recommend the Youtube channel Game Sack. They have entire episodes on not only all the Sega consoles, but also ones that compare the ports between different systems.

Also, Shadowrun is a great RPG for Genesis. The one for SNES is a completely different game as well, but that one is more xp grindy.

For SMS, I loved playing Outrun, The Ninja, Shinobi, Kung-Fu Kid, and Time Soldiers. I had a Master System while all my friends had NES. Still love my SMS to this day!

For Genesis, Shadow Dancer, Revenge of Shinobi, and Warsong was some of my faves. For Sega CD, definitely the Lunar games (The Silver Star and Eternal Blue)

I've mainly played Fighting Games on the Saturn, but Magic Knight Rayearth was a good RPG, IIRC.

For Dreamcast, Tokyo Xtreme Racer blends racing games and RPG games beautifully. Definitely worth playing.

No need to attack personally, just because I don't like a game you like.

Nah it's not like that. Someone else recommended Ecco the Dolphin and I think it's trash the same way.

And that's fine. Imagine he defends the game for being good, because you don't understand it. There is just no need to "attack" personally if someone does not like your game. And it's not like I wouldn't play difficult games. Overall I didn't mean to trash talk the game you like, I was just honest talking about an observation I made, that many people didn't like the game. My hope was to talk about the game why its being good or what's being disliked.

In example I like the Super NES game Uniracers / Unirally, and if someone doesn't like or get it, I don't say its skill issue, game is good, you are just bad at the game. That's why you don't like it. This is not what I say.

That's always the easy way out. Make a statement, and if the person is upset about your personal attack, make it a joke. I just wanted to talk about the game.

Starflight was excellent on Genesis.

Sword of Vermillion was my first ever RPG, took me literal years to beat as a dumbass kid. I enjoyed it tho.

Ecco the Dolphin 1 and 2 are works of art, but rather challenging. Still recommended tho.

ESWAT was a fun platformer shooter jetpack enjoyment thingy

I enjoyed Space Harrier on the Master System. I'll see if I can find my cartridges to see if there are others that I'd recommend.

I can't believe no one has seconded Landstalker.

Seriously, give Landstalker a shot.

Landstalker is usually at the top of my list for these things, but I took OP's list as already being definite plays, so I skipped it. 75% of OP's list would be near the top of my list.

Golvelius, Zillion, and Psycho Fox on Master System. All are excellent examples of their respective genres.
