Old-school role-playing fans will probably remember this name with a great fondness but unfortunately, nowhere near enough people played it back then.
Even if the Sega franchise strikes you as dabbling in old school gaming, it is well worth a look at the systems. Some of the original Sega CD (or Mega-CD in Europe) games have an astounding amount of appeal that lovers of all things gaming should consider giving a try.
Silpheed, Android Assault, Lords of thunder, Solfeace, flying squadron. That's why I own Mega cd.
Maybe one day Konami won’t be lame and they can release a Sega CD collection with Snatcher.
the only problem with owning a Sega CD is the hardware is less than reliable nowadays. I have an Analogue Mega SG which is an updated version of a genesis along with a Mega SD cartridge which allows me to play Sega CD games off of it. I have the entire Genesis / Sega CD library on the cart and it's great. Although many of these games do not hold up well, lol.
To be honest I own the original tech, but i also have a raspberry pi build with all Mega cd games I want. So the old tech doesn't die.
Every so often, a character in a video game - be it hero, villain, or NPC - will need to hide their identity. Maybe they’re infiltrating an enemy compound, attending a fancy ball, or just need to rent a motorbike. Sometimes their disguises are convincing, and sometimes they are 'so bad they're good'. Game Luster's Tim Jewett looks at ten of the best (worst?) examples.
think youve missed the best one of all! using chameleon in dark souls to troll other players....had some great fun with this
"When it comes to JRPGs, no console has as many top-notch experiences as PS1 so let's explore the 10 best RPGs for PlayStation." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
hmmmm I missed playing three of them and I would include what they included in the top 10 so I bet I would like the three I missed.
Why are turn based Golden? Isnt golden suppose to mean oldest>? Turn based came SECOND action rpgs came first. In fact Square release Dragon slayer 1 and 2 before filing for bankruptcy and right before it was final they released the first turn based one final fantasy(1). And was saved. Too bad they returned to action to smooth out earning for investors.

Personally, I believe the golden age for JRPGs would of been between the 4th-6th generation of consoles.
And these games are some of the strongest reasons why the original PlayStation is my all time favourite system of all time.
Xenogears...I felt the nostalgia reading from the site:
“Without a doubt, Xenogears has the best story out of any PS1 JRPG. In fact, it may just feature the grandest story in all of gaming. With a fictional history spanning over 10,000 years and a protagonist that keeps being reincarnated through time, trying to wrap your head around the plot is as exacting as it is engaging. Being able to battle in giant mechs known as Gears and on foot with a super-satisfying combo system is great fun and the soundtrack is one of the best scores ever composed in gaming. What could beat this?”
Solid list. Out of personal preference i might shift around a few of the ranked numbers.
I was hoping that it would have come to the ps3 with the ps1 classics but never did :(
Lunar series needs a sequel.. 1 & 2 were great
One of my favorite PS1 rpgs, where are my PSN releases?
Loved collecting that suit of armor (must be upgraded to be worth a damn.) and the Cockatrice.
Lunar: The Silver Star- This was my first JRPG that I really fell in love with and still play to this day. The Characters, Story, Music and Cut-scenes were wonderful. I have this on the Sega CD, PS1 and the PSP.
Lunar Eternal Blue- was another great new story in the Lunar universe. I was always hoping for a Directors Cut similar to Lunar Silver Stary Harmony.
I wanted this to be a huge series, like the scale of Final Fantasy, too bad that never happened.
