Anyone else have love for old school turn based RPGs?

Xenosaga is good for some turn based action too. Man I need to play that again, KOS MOS rocks.

Will have to pick up Shining Force. Never played that before thanks guys.

If your going to buy the cartridges for Genesis, be prepared to pay for them...

The emulators are pretty good these days.

SF1&2 are both on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for PS3/360. I'm pretty sure they are also on Wii Virtual Console. Sonic's UGC is amazing by the way. It's a pretty comprehensive list of the best 1st/2nd party Genesis games:

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Alien Storm
Altered Beast
Beyond Oasis
Bonanza Bros.
Columns
Comix Zone
Decap Attack
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Dynamite Headdy
Ecco the Dolphin
Ecco: The Tides of Time
ESWAT: City Under Siege
Fatal Labyrinth
Flicky
Gain Ground
Golden Axe
Golden Axe II
Golden Axe III
Kid Chameleon
Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom
Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
Ristar
Shining Force
Shining Force II: Ancient Sealing
Shining in the Darkness
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic & Knuckles
Sonic 3D Blast
Sonic Spinball
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 3
Super Thunder Blade
Vectorman
Vectorman 2

Plus it has save states and trophies/achievements. And there are a handful of Master System games you can unlock.

Shining Force CD, though, is another matter. An emulator is probably your only option.

Shining Force Series and Golden Sun Series were 2 of my favorites.

Also as much as it would piss me off when I would lose a character and have to retry a battle I loved the Fire Emblem Series.

I replayed Xenogears last fall after running through XS 2 and 3 (I have played XS 1 around three times and had not yet played 3). Anyways, the itch to re-play XS has been rising of late. This might be my games to play before Skyrim comes-out this fall. Also thinking of busting-out TIE Fighter on my PC as well, such a good game...
