I have incredibly fond and nostalgic memories of this game. I first played it in the 7th grade , I fell in love with it, I burned through many AA batteries since i did not have a charger.
Eventually is was too expensive to keep playing i returned both GG and game to their respective owners.
Are there any other RpGs for the system????
You mean Defenders of Oasis :p. Yes there are others but most stayed in Japan I think. If you like Strategy RPGs the Shining Forces and Royal Stone are excelent. There's also a Lunar game I haven't played and at least 1 more RPG. Then there are Sylvan Tale and Tails Adventures which are also very good.
oops yup, defenders.
Sylvan tale is more action adventure. the shining force games i enjoy on the sega cd . I am only interested in English versions. i will check out tails adventures
It's also action adventure, but I like it a lot. One of the best GG games.Quote:

PS Gaiden is pretty poor (original PS is so much better).
I've heard good things from Golden Axe Warrior.
Golden Axe Warrior is good is PS Gaiden a traditional RPG? Gaiden means Side Story is it a completely new story?
It doesn't take place in Algol and there's no Dark Force (hence the gaiden), but you can meet Alisa (though she's older than in the 1st episode, has purple hair, and has nothing to do outside of Algol, but the game states she's the same person, and there are dialogs in Phantasy Star Generations 2 that seems to be related with PS Gaiden).
It's a traditional RPG.
Merican release? -either way I'm on board and I want it
Sorry there is no such game for Game Gear. Maybe you confused it with Ax Battler or you mean the Master System?Quote:

Personally I grew up with Defenders of Oasis and loved it. That and Shining Force are really the best of the US library, and Shining Force was better remade on the Sega CD. I always wanted Crystal Warriors, but it's not as great as 10 year old me had imagined. There's some good stuff on the translated front, Royal Stone and Final Conflict are excellent. I've been playing Lunar lately, it's weird at first but seems to be an excellent title as well. You start off on an abandoned island with very little instruction on where to go: and there's a ton of buildings to explore with nothing in them. Once you get past the awkward and boring introduction phase the story picks up and things get silly/fun.
wow , very informative post. I always thought that GG was a barren wasteland for all things role playing except for Oasis , I wanna play PSgaiden first though. Im a sucker for little known traditional rpgs
So I looked into Tail's Adventure, and it looks amazing. Sort of a Metroid/Vania type game. Not much of an RPG though. But still a cool platformer I'd wish I'd had as a kid (instead of Chakan or Dracula at least. Eeech.Quote:

I REALLY wish that Sylvain Tale, Defenders of Oasis, Ariel and a few others had been on CD. I ESPECIALLY wish that Phantasy Star Gaiden and Tail's Adventure had been remade on the MCD or Saturn. I will never forgive SEGA for no new Phantasy Star on the Saturn!
Ooops, I forgot about Golden Axe Densetsu!! I wish that had a 16-BIT version, much like Golden Axe Warrior.
Why CD ? Isn't MD sufficient to hadle them ?
