nope.

Kings of the dragons?

Stanktopus, checkout this link: http://www.listal.com/list/rpg-world-snes-edition

It seems to have a pretty exhaustive list of US Super Nintendo RPGs.

Perhaps, one of the screen shots will look familiar.

not a hack'n'slash, turn based fighting only.

br1an, thanks for the list, its a good list too. sadly, none of it is "ringing any bells" though.

You sure it's not Dragon View?

Pretty sure Dragon View was not turn-based.

DEF not dragon view. ^^^^what king mike said.

Could it have been an import?

i HIGHLY doubt that it was an import. however, i suppose anything is possible lol. i am saying i doubt it because when i was that age, i rented this mystery game from a tiny little convenience store in chillicothe, illinois.....which happens to be "the heart of the midwest". so basically, the most boring area of the united states. this is why i doubt its imported-ness.

Don't think it was one of the Breath of Fire games, eh? Wasn't really side scrolling but does have a similar part like you are talking about. Or Earthbound lol

nope, not breath of fire, at least i am pretty damn sure. i also lol at your earthbound comment.

^not even close. TURN BASED FIGHTING ONLY!

It was all just a dream.

lolol, KAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

seriously though, i have thought about it being some weird fever dream for a LONG time. i, also for the longest time, was convinced that i had fever dreamed the "howard the duck" movie. but that one was a thing.....soooo yeah.

no dinosaurs involved. although, dinosaurs should probably be involved. dino's rule.

The 7th Saga?

that.....is a possibility. i dont think its the 7th saga, but that is the first suggestion that has made me not sure. i am gonna watch the 21345234 hours of walkthrough on youtube to see if it rings any bells....will be back in 21345234 hours!

Secret of Mana?
