Wow this was a fantastic list I especially loved that you included Duke Nukem and the Oddworld series. Not many people these days Duke Nukem started off as a 2D Platformer before Duke Nukem 3D and I absolutely adore Strangers Wrath.

Will never be forgotten. My first,big rpg that had magic, science, technology, flying to other planets, catchy tunes from the limited master system, etc. It was awesome. And the sequels after were just as great. Including 3.

Still wish to this day that sega cared to update those games or a remake or sequel to skies of arcadia. But the sega I knew is gone. Such a shame. Just sitting on their franchises doing nothing.

Phantasy Star is a classic.

Wish they'd remake 3 and like... fix/finish it. I love the generation concept but man the game was so bland otherwise. Still loved it as a kid even though I got nowhere.

Wish they would release phantasy star online 2 over here.
