Topic: Retro recommendations thread

So..... does anyone recommend any Japanese imports for the Dreamcast?

Xexyz or The Guardian Legend?

FINALLY A QUESTION I CAN ANSWER!

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 is such an amazing game and a must own for the system!

The Guardian Legend. Xexyz is cool, but kind of archaic. The Guardian Legend has held up faily well, though.

But now I want to ask if anybody knows anymore cool Action-Adventure games for the NES? Stuff like Rygar would be cool. Though I still need to get Rygar...looks like such a fun game...

Thanks! Was leaning towards it because of the grander scale it seems to have compared to Xexyz but just wanted to be sure.

As for other good Action-Adventure games on the NES I'd recommend Conquest of the Crystal Palace. Really fun side scrolling adventure type game with RPG elements. It has a lot of personality too.

Super Nintendo recommendations!

from the top of my head Yoshi's Island (SMW2), the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Axelay, Castlevania IV, Harvest Moon, Illusion of Time, Secret of Mana, Uniracers and of course LoZ - Link To The Past.

Thanks man, it looks so cool! I'll have to check it out~

Across 360, Super Nintendo, and Wii U (so therefore Wii VC too I guess) what's the best Bomberman? I've been meaning to get super bomberman for years but kept getting side tracked and now the cart's asking price on eBay has gone up too much form me at the moment. Looking more for local multiplayer.

Edit: hm, maybe this would have been better in general recommendations. But most of the better bombermans do fall under retro.

^Hm, probably the import Bomberman '94 on the Wii VC. I mean, I prefer Bomberman Hero, but mostly for the singleplayer.

Does anybody have any PAL MegaDrive recommendations?
I bought a MegaDrive a while back with Sonic 1/2/3, super hang on, Mortal Kombat 3 and some other games.

Phantasy Star II and IV are both superb retro RPGs.

Just found this forum today. Grew up on NES and SNES so picked up a flip door NES 2 weeks ago and have been buying games fast and furiously. Up to about 12 so far. Amazed at how expensive many of the classics are now. For example Contra, Mario 2, Mario 3, etc...

Favorites were Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy. Want to pick up Dragon Warrior 2 and 3 but the price is keeping me away at this point.

Happy retro gaming!

So, um...are you looking for recommendations? (Or making some recommendations there? I can't quite tell)

wish there was a page we could post games we are selling with pictures kinda like craigslist setups

I'm also tempted to pick up either an SNES or a Retron 5. A Retron 5 might be of use to me, since it'd mean I could play NES and Genesis games on my HDTV, but at the same time, I'm not sure how reliable it is. I heard the Genesis port tended to grip the games too hard. My Front-loader NES already does that, and it's pretty annoying. But if they fixed that it'd be great.

An SNES would be much cheaper, though. Problem is that the games tend to be either on VC or super expensive.

So I guess I'll ask: What are some good SNES games not on VC that aren't ultra rare or expensive?

EDIT: Well, I found 7 games I could get for a decent price (under $30):

Phantom 2040
U.N. Squadron
Secret of Evermore (pushing it, though)
Illusion of Gaia (admittedly the worst of the "trilogy")
Super Ninja Boy
Xardion
Blazeon (Pushing it)

Anybody recommend any of these or, preferably, know of any other games? If I could come up with a few more, I might just get a SNES unless I can get a Retron 5 for a cheaper price by this time next year.

So I have been thinking of picking up one of those power converter thingy to play Sega Master games on my Genesis but I have a model 2 Genesis anyone ever use those on a model 2?

@Tasuki

Most genesis on the market are model 2 (including mine), it should work fine.

Where is a good place to sell some of my older games?

Ebay. Unless you have a retro game store in your town.
