The Golden Sun, and TGS: The Lost Age.

Grew up playing Golden Sun, what's TGS though?

final fantasy tactics 1.3

Big fan of FFT, I'm not very good at it though! I'm stuck on this one level that I won't tell you what it is so people don't give me tips. :>

Both Oddworld games on PS1 are good.

I played the original Abe's Odyssey on PC and loved it. One of my favorite games of all time.

Evo: The Search for Eden

Shin Megami Tensei

Suikoden 2

Live a Live

Valkyrie Profile

Legend of Mana

I've played that one a long time ago, that game was way cool.

I've played quite a few SMT games and I just can't get into it. I'm having a hard time finishing P4G as well because the dungeons just get so repetitive. I love messing around in the overworld though, that's awesome.

I've been playing through that one, I've found it interesting so far.

I'll try it!

I'll give that one a shot, that sounds badass.

I need to pick that one up again and finish it.

Chaos Seed

SRW

If you've yet to do ogre battle, go do ogre battle. SNES or PSX version, whatever. Bahamut Lagoon, perhaps. The langrisser games... they're on both the SNES and the PSX, iirc, and fantranz'd over the years.

Chaos World, Hiouden

Stuff

Oriental Blue

Sylvan Tale

Doin' it.

Are you kidding? I'm a huge mecha fan, I've made FGs using my cumulative knowledge of UC Gundam. You insult me with your insolence!! O:< ... Actually I haven't played one yet.. :S ;-;  I've been trying super hard to get my hands on one though. D:

I've already played all the Ogre Battle games, I have an LP of the GBA one on my YT account. To be honest I found them all meh compared to FFT, though I respect them as it's ancestors.

Will try.

I've played Front Mission 3, the other FM games I'm not really interested in. Emerald Dragon, Monstania, Gun Hazard and Ancient Magic I'll try, but those are on the back burner until I finish my Final Fantasy marathon.

Dragon Warriors Monsters is fucking awesome, I've had that cartridge since I was a little kid. I recommend that game to anyone who can lay their hands on it, epic game I tell you.

I might, I'm not very familiar with the gamegear.

Snes: i would recommend Seikendensetsu 3 its basically secret of mana 3 (theres english version.). also im curious is there secret of mana 2? cause i have not found it.

Seikendenetsu 3 is Secret of Mana 2. And Seikendenetsu 2 is just Secret of Mana.
It's weird how things released outside of Japan is numbered differently. But I suppose it kind of makes sense.

Need to try those at some point.

Mother 3 for GBA. If you haven't played that, go play it. You will need the fan translation patch. Great story, humor, and the turn-based combat is also rhythm-based. many hours of fun.

I'll try to get that one.

Brain Lord - a SNES RPG that didn't get as much recognition as it should have. Great puzzles.
Resident Evil 2 - the peak of the series, in my opinion.
Earthbound - Another SNES RPG, very quirky.
Suikoden - PSX RPG, 'epic' without being pretentious.
Heart of Darkness - PSX platformer. Short, but fun gameplay. Made by the same guy as Another World/Out of this World
Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver - Third person action adventure for the PSX. Best in the series, IMHO.

By the way, I remember recommending Wizardry V to you in another thread; did you ever get anywhere with it?

Will try.
I've played RE0/4/5/6 and Revelations. I really really want to try the classics.
Course I've heard of Earthbound. :3 Played it once at a buddy's place, really liked it, want to pick that up again some time.
I have Suikoden 2. Is there any reason why I should regress?
It's freaking Abe's Odyssey so I'm into it. I've seen the game played through so many times that I'm not interested in giving it a shot myself. Very cool game, though I think Abe's Odyssey is better.
Legacy of Kain reminds me of MediEvil so I really want to try it.

I played Wizardry 1 first, it was so obtuse I couldn't stand it. XD Reminds me of playing Phantasy Star 2 without the manual, I still can't believe I beat that game. I'll definitely give V a try though.

Super Metroid.

I have all the good ones for GBA but I just can't get into it. I had a lot of fun with Metroid Prime 1 and 2 though.

- Super Mario World
- Shadowrun
- Super Metroid
- Chronotrigger
- Final Fantasy 6 (or 3 american, numbering is a bit weird) 
- Act Raiser
- Zelda: Link to the Past
- Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Have it!
Played it! It's really confusing, need to try again with more wiki magic.
Played it!
Played ittt!
I have all the FF games and I'm trying to beat them in order.
Never heard of this, will try.
Same deal as FF except I'm not concerned about the order.
I'm loathe to try this after playing through Paper Mario, one of the most epic games of all time. I haven't heard good things about SMRPG.

-snip-

I've played or own allll of those.

Should be noted that I have all the 2D Castlevania games.

Figured I'd mention some of the other big names on Gameboy Advance just in case:
Couple games each of:
Fire Emblem (Some were Japan only but you can pick up ENG translation patches for roms)
Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Advance Wars
Kirby
Megaman

Smaller Titles for GBA that haven't been mentioned yet
Sigma Star Saga was pretty fun.
Sword of Mana was really cool, and had two whole stories in it (one for the hero, one for the heroine)

Not interested in GBA Megaman, I've played Advance Wars to death and I'm currently doing an S-rank playthrough on AW2, I'm in the process of completing all the FE, Zelda and Kirby games.

I'll try Sigma, played Sword of Mana.

You should try Medievil and PS1. Also Abe's Oddysee plus it's sequels.

All the below are for the SNES, however I think it would be very difficult finding actual copies of these games which are not roms.
b]Secret of Mana[/b] for the SNES was a great game back in the day, as well as Secret of Mana 2. And Chrono Trigger as well but I recommend the DS version.
You could go for Secret of Evermore, think of it as an americanized verison of Secret of Mana.
Hmm.. what else.. Actraiser was pretty good (The sequel kind of removed features from the original.).
Soulblazer is also a decent game.

Grew up with MediEvil and Abe's. Not interested in the other Odyssey titles.

I've seen playthroughs of Soulblazer and Actraiser, they seemed pretty cool.

[BigD145]

Suikoden 1 and 2 are very similar in that they start super slow. I couldn't get past the first 3-5 hours of each. 3 gets moving fairly quickly but is PS2. Oh how I would love a truly portable PS2. Every system you've named thus far runs on a PSP, which has a few hidden gems of its own. If you have the cash, a soft hacked PSP and microSD adapter is worth it.

[Aklyon]

The Golden Sun, and TGS: The Lost Age.

Grew up playing Golden Sun, what's TGS though?

Dunno what the T is doing there, but if you throw it out it turns into Golden Sun: The Lost Age, which is either the sequel or the other half of the game depending on who you ask.

Also on GBA: Drill Dozer!

[Hugehead]

PSX
Azure Dreams - Pretty neat procedural death labyrinth, has strong meta advancement elements and pets.
Bushido Blade - Realistic weapon fighting game, you often die or are seriously crippled in one hit, great fun but mostly multiplayer.
Carnage Heart - Robot programming game, design and program your own robots to go fight other robots, has a campaign but setting your robots against another person's robots is the main attraction IMO. Is there interest in a Bay12 league?
Digimon World - Raise a Digimon from Digiegg to huge dinosaur that chomps everything in one hit or to a pile of poop, then have it die and do it again with your hopefully upgraded training area.
Parasite Eve - Really cool modern day JRPG, MITOCHONDRIA!
Tobal 2 - Fighting game/RPG with a large focus on grappling, not very good but you can be a robot suplexing ghouls in a dungeon.
Power Shovel - Port of a Japanese arcade game, you play a power digger and have to complete silly minigames while battling the obtuse control scheme.
Spyro the Dragon - Still holds up as a pretty decent platformer, much better than Crash, so might as well play it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vagrant Story - Very good ARPG by Square

[BigD145]

Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma are well regarded SNES games. You can also try California Games and Pilotwings. Zelda Minish Cap for GBA was pretty good. The entire Mother series is worth playing. Official and fan translations have been works of love.

[Aklyon]

PSX
Power Shovel - Port of a Japanese arcade game, you play a power digger and have to complete silly minigames while battling the obtuse control scheme.

I had to look up that name, but it is that weird one I rented once a long time ago, and had no idea what it was supposed to be. That description explains a lot.

PSX
Spyro the Dragon - Still holds up as a pretty decent platformer, much better than Crash, so might as well play it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Spyro 3 Year of the Dragon is my favorite of the three, but I'll still second this.

there's no problem with mentionning romhack, it only offer translation patches, it does not host any rom and does not give link to any rom, nothing going against Bay12 board rules.
romhack is not a "rom" website

no worries about the site it doesnt contain isos only ppf files you use to patch your copy of fft into 1.3. so i dont think there are anything illegal there.

I second vagrant story. In the matter of unique psx JRPGs, it only loses to valkyrie profile. It has a very final fantasy tactics kind of feel (regarding its soundtrack and art style, not its gameplay)

[Parsely]

I'm playing that one at the moment, it's a lot like Chocobo Dungeon.
That sounds awesome.
Robit programming? How obtuse is the interface? I'll give that one a go as well.
Never really like Digimon.. How much like Pokémon is it?
Playing that one as well. I like the RE feel it has.
Hey, I'm a grappler too! I'll get that one.
Awww, I like Crash. ;-;
I'm playing that one, I watched a bit of an LP of it and it looked fun.

Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma are well regarded SNES games.

California Games and Pilotwings

Zelda Minish Cap for GBA was pretty good. The entire Mother series is worth playing. Official and fan translations have been works of love.

Never heard of those. What are they, RPGs?

I have fond memories of politweengs. :3

Those are all on my to-play list, I've made serious progress in Minish Cap.

I second vagrant story. In the matter of unique psx JRPGs, it only loses to valkyrie profile. It has a very final fantasy tactics kind of feel (regarding its soundtrack and art style, not its gameplay)

Could you mean Vandal Hearts? That one is the grid turn-based tactics game, Vagrant Story is more like Kingdom Hearts.

Actiony drill-based platformer.

[BigD145]

Nobody has said GTA2 (PSX), so there's that. I had to look through some of my PSX archives for stuff I like. There's Discworld 1 and 2 if you like point and click adventure. Lunar 1 and 2, Xenogears, and Star Ocean Second Story for more RPG's. If you like golf games, Hot Shots is good. Harvest Moon on PSX is okay. You're missing out on Rune Factory unless you hit the DS and Wii.

[itisnotlogical]

Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams
Neat little action-platformer for GBA. Levels are pretty large and detailed, the sprites are very pretty to look at and the gameplay is actually rather deep and enjoyable.

Star Wars: Episode III
Yes it's based on a terrible movie, but it's also a great beat-em-up with a cute comic book style and two separate campaigns. For GBA. Force Heal OP.

Clock Tower SNES
Horror point-n-click with great atmosphere and non-linear gameplay. It's Japan exclusive but there are working translation patches around on the Internet. Beware, they don't work in ZSNESW as far as I can tell.

Final Fantasy VI aka III
As JRPGs go, it's the one I dislike the least. I actually really liked it when I first played it, but tastes change and I can barely stand to look at JRPGs anymore. There's a lot of customization and management to be done, not that it will ever matter once your A-team is decided and you have at least one character that knows every spell in the game.

The Hobbit
It's a GBA Zelda clone from before the recent Hobbit movies were conceived. It's average at best, but it has a kickin' soundtrack and some neat visual interpretations of characters that have been set in stone ever since the original Lord of the Rings trilogy of films.

[Bouchart]

Wordtris for SNES was a good tetris style game.  There was also a DOS version of it.

I like Beyond the Beyond for PS1.  It's an RPG in the style of FF4 as far as combat goes.  It's a bit on the difficult side and has a fairly minimal plot and character development, though.

Tomba for PS1 is a great platformer.  It has a sequel but I've never played it.
