God vagrant story, if they distilled anime convolutedness and made it not only a games plot, but mechanics and battle system.
Brave Fencer Musashi? PSX
As a PS1 game was mentioned
Although I'm not sure if they hold up well, I quite enjoyed Clockwork Knight 1 & 2. Played them a lot at a friend's house back in the day. I'm disappointed that I've never gotten my hands on a copy of Sonic Jam, although I can't complain too much since I do have Panzer Dragoon Saga (which, incidentally, I've never played...).I look at my shelf and realize how many Saturn games I have yet to play. I'll not submit one though because I doubt many of us have a Saturn and apparently there is no good emulator for it, so... yeah.
As a PS1 game was mentioned I'll add another to the list: Valkyrie Profile.
I primarily had the 8 & 16-bit generations in mind, partly because there's a lot of shared nostalgia there but also because it's ridiculously easy for anyone to get access to pretty much any games from that era. I didn't set any rules, though, as I figured we could see how this evolved organically and accommodate the tastes of the majority. If you want to nominate a PS2 game I'll allow it. So far all the winners have been NES, SNES or Genesis games so far, though.speaking of, did we ever decide where our line is? PS1 games are "retro" but PS2 aren't maybe? how far back do we go here?
Heh... that was the game I was about to submit, though I have the significantly cheaper japanese version (bought $20 - I think you need to add at least one zero for a US version and maybe at least three for a EU version?).[...], although I can't complain too much since I do have Panzer Dragoon Saga (which, incidentally, I've never played...).

Oh the Saturn would prove plenty tricky for me, too. I know the battery is dead (my brother put a good half day's effort into Panzer Dragoon Saga, only to lose all his progress the moment the console shut down, and that was ages ago) and I'd have to go wire fishing to find the right setup.Heh... that was the game I was about to submit, though I have the significantly cheaper japanese version (bought $20 - I think you need to add at least one zero for a US version and maybe at least three for a EU version?).
EDIT: Now that I think of it, playing a Saturn game might prove tricky because I probably need to change the battery in my Saturn... on top of that I have a EU Saturn with an adapter, but I think some japanese games worked oddly on it and I have never tested the JP Saturn that I have (and I am not sure if I can use the EU video cables with it)!
