in Collector's Corner

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.

    It's easy, just buy a complete SNES set and check out which ones are RPGs image.
  • srh201srh201

  • arch_8ngelarch_8ngel
    I don't think I've seen a complete list by genre.

    Lufia I and II spring to mind, don't know if you count Zelda style stuff, if you do there's LttP (naturally) also Weaponlord and Brainlord.



    Shadowrun is another, and Might and Magic III:Isles of Terra is a personal favorite of mine.

    tall guy, are all of the games you mentioned zelda-style games?



    i am more looking for true rpgs. maybe there arent even that many... i have no idea!



    i know brainlord and robotrek are made by enix... are they rpgs?
  • arch_8ngelarch_8ngel
    Super Mario RPG

    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
  • arch_8ngelarch_8ngel
    Brainlord is more of a puzzle/adventure game.



    Robotrek is a straight-out RPG.

    Robotrek is a straight-out RPG.

    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.

  • srh201srh201
    okay guys, i just threw everything on the list and alphabetized it. so i guess the list will include zelda-style games too. let me know if you disagree with anything and i will remove it.



    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.
  • pompeyparsonspompeyparsons
    Spike McFang is definately iffy but IMO I'd leave it on there.
  • weaselofdoomweaselofdoom
    well don't forget the best RPG of all time... Earthbound.

    edit: beaten to the punch.
  • srh201srh201
    damn, i think i still need 23 of these! haha... i better get to work! image im sure there are some more hidden ones out there. any more additions from the masses?

    yeah, really if your list only had Earthbound on it, you really wouldnt need anything else on that list to keep you happy image

    Nope, just Brainlord and Weaponlord.
  • arch_8ngelarch_8ngel
    Arcana plays kind of like Might and Magic, but is thematically based around cards and tarot.


    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).

    you guys dont think harvest moon qualifies as a rpg
  • arch_8ngelarch_8ngel
    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.
  • maximus_cleanmaximus_clean

    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.

  • arch_8ngelarch_8ngel
    Huh. I guess I completely overlooked that series back in the day. image
  • srh201srh201
    list updated with harvest moon! anymore that we are forgetting?



  • srh201srh201

    young merlin
    populous
    rise of the phoenix
    sid meier's civilization
    sim earth
    sim ant
    liberty or death
    aerobiz
    inindo

    nobunaga's ambition
    nobunaga's ambition: lord of darkness
    operation europe
    PTO
    PTO 2
    might & magic II: gates to another world

  • DazzDazz
    Incantation is considered an RPG.
  • srh201srh201
    incantation added to list... what about the ones on the list 2 posts up? anyone know?
  • the tall guythe tall guy
    Might and Magic II should be.



    The Koei games (Romance of the three kingdoms, ect) are historical simulations... not really RPGs in my opinion.

    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.


  • DariaDaria
    Your master list is missing Obitus (dungeon crawler), Addams Family Values (Zelda Clone), Super Ninja Boy (two player ARPG), Inindo (KOEI made traditional RPG), and Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (why is that missing?).



    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?
    Edit 2: I also googles Weaponlord but it appears to be a Conan styled 2D Fighter. Not sure what gives on that one, but it plays nothing like Brain Lord.
  • srh201srh201
    i dont really count zeldas and the dungeon crawler games as rpgs. i like more traditional rpgs... this is an old thread! you breathed some life back into it. i will update the first post tomorrow with your additions, even though i have no interest in getting them! image



    by the way... final fantasy 1 on the list is mystic quest
