snes RPGs... only ntsc...
i am looking for a list of snes rpgs, not SFC or PAL though, just NTSC games. does anyone have a list of all of them? i dont know a whole lot about the snes, but it is my favorite system to play, i am an rpg lover, and i am trying to gather up all of the rpgs for the system.
i looked at lists online, but they are all pretty crappy, and i can look at lists of all the games for the snes, but the problem is that i dont know which ones are rpgs and which ones arent.
can any rpg geeks / collectors help out a fellow geek / collector?

Final Fantasy 2
Final Fantasy 3
Arcana
Eye of the Beholder
if you count Zelda-style stuff include:
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Illusions of Gaia
Equinox
Robotrek is a straight-out RPG.
Brainlord is more of a puzzle/adventure game.

Its always tough to put a label on stuff like Brainlord. You're probably right though about it being a puzzle/adventure game it always kind of struck me as RPG like though in may respects.
so would brainlord be removed? what about arcana, brandish, dragon view, drakkhen, dungeon master, equinox, lagoon, twisted tales of spike mcfang, weaponlord?
the others at least sound like they can be rpgs! haha, i dont know anything about those above.
edit: beaten to the punch.
well don't forget the best RPG of all time... Earthbound.
edit: beaten to the punch.
yeah, really if your list only had Earthbound on it, you really wouldnt need anything else on that list to keep you happy
tall guy, are all of the games you mentioned zelda-style games?
Nope, just Brainlord and Weaponlord.
Equinox is the SNES sequel to Solstice. It's sort of a puzzle/adventure game as well. There is some fighting, but it's mostly exploring and finding keys or solving puzzle rooms.
Also, if you're interested in the gameplay (as opposed to the straight-out collecting) you should consider getting translations of Dragon Quest 5 and 6, as well as Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Densetsu 3).
I don't think Harvest Moon was on the SNES, was it? I thought that was N64.
Harvest Moon was on the SNES as well. I'd say put it on the list as its not the traditional sword and sorcery thing but you are assuming a role as a farm hand.
yes, Harvest Moon ins on SNES. It is common, but always in demand so it is usually $50+. Kinda like the market for Chrono Trigger.
I can't quite remember, but wasn't the SNES game Ardy Lightfoot an RPG?
*** EDIT: Ardy Lightfoot is a platformer.
guys, what about the following games... are these RPGs?
young merlin
populous
rise of the phoenix
sid meier's civilization
sim earth
sim ant
liberty or death
aerobiz
inindo
romance of the three kingdoms II
romance of the three kingdoms III: dragon of destiny
romance of the three kingdoms IV: wall of fire
aerobiz supersonic
gemfire
ghengis khan 2
nobunaga's ambition
nobunaga's ambition: lord of darkness
operation europe
PTO
PTO 2
might & magic II: gates to another world
The Koei games (Romance of the three kingdoms, ect) are historical simulations... not really RPGs in my opinion.
Might and Magic II should be.

Definitely correct.
Gemfire is pretty cool as its exactly like the Romance of Three Kingdoms games only with a Fantasy Setting instead of Ancient China.
Might & Magic II also belongs as a dungeon crawler, and I include Young Merlin in my own collection.
Edit: I googled Incantation but it appears to be a generic (although pretty) platformer. What am I missing?
by the way... final fantasy 1 on the list is mystic quest
