I know, it being on Sega CD is reason enough to roll your eyes and it's why so many people never heard of it. It's a tactical RPG most closely like Master of Monsters on the Genesis, where the grid is hexagonal and your leader summons monsters to do battle. You also can hire humans, dwarves, elves, and hobbits. Everything can change class, and depending on what their alignment is they can change into something different (a Lawful Mage promotes into something different than a Chaotic Mage). There's 4 different leaders to choose from, each with their own abilities and available monsters and alignments and special secret characters to recruit. Also the music is amazing. --- End quote --- Oh Damn! and I just got Dark Wizard on the sega CD I havent been able to sink a lot of time into it but it is pretty damn good! Tempo for the 32X is awesome as well, typical 2D platformer but with some of the coolest backgrounds and effects i've ever seen --- End quote --- These are the exact reasons I wanted this thread topic. I've never really heard of Dark Wizard. Also, Tempo is amazing. I just heard of it and purchased it 1-2 months ago. But it is a great platformer. And Tempo Jr. on the Game Gear is one of the best on the system. |

King's Field looks really interesting. I'll be checking those out. Thanks! It's a bit tough for me to narrow it down to just a few games, but I've got to start somewhere. Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (Xbox-PS2-Gamecube) It's a shameless Zelda clone, but it's a good Zelda clone. It's set in some alternate universe where creatures from (an admittedly inaccurate portrayal of) Ancient Egyptian mythology roam free. You alternate between playing as an agile demigod named Sphinx and a young prince cursed with the form of a mummy who cannot die. Sphinx's levels are standard (if well done) 3D Zelda fare, while the prince's are more puzzle-based. The puzzles are actually quite unique and clever. Seeing as the mummy prince cannot die, he has to do all sorts of things to his body to complete puzzles (setting himself on fire, electrocuting himself, flattening himself, cutting himself into multiple pieces.) "Sphinx" has tight controls, an interesting plot, fun locales and some absolutely gorgeous graphics for the era. It also has a pretty kickass soundtrack. If you even think you're a fan of Middle Eastern-type music, I say to check it out. These are my personal favorite tracks: Heliopolis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b19EuWmSW6U Fire Mummy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tmCnEXCsIQ Museum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me9LjAzzt4E It had a rather cruel sequel hook, but it looks like a sequel will never happen. The game bombed. :'( I also continue to defend my stance that the original "Siren" was among the best survival horror games ever made, if not the best. But I could talk about that all night, and I doubt you guys want to read the essay that is sure to come of it. |

Also, Snatcher was all kinds of awesome. I've been wanting to play Policenauts for quite a while, but just never got around to it. |

Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land (PS2) |

Silent Bomber (PS1) Its an arcadey run and gunish action game with bombs rather than guns. Basically, you are a one man demolition team and have to infiltrate enemy bases and beat the boss at the end of each level. It feeds my shmup itch and it's really fun in it's own right. |
