Genesis Aladdin for shizzle

Slipheed for Sega CD maybe baby?

Beyond Shadowgate

8bit. ILLUSION CITY for the MSX by far. 1989 cyberpunk epic of an RPG. (sega CD version ruined the music)

Does this one require a six button controller?

It'll work with a 2 button controller (like any other vs. fighter will), but who'd want to?

Indeed. I have a copy of SFII' and it doesn't get as much play because of that.  Need to fix that in the near future.


This thread is pretty awesome, there are some 8 bit titles that still rock it on the animation front. Sure they may not have as many colors but DAMN, look at the things move..


What's the Ernest Evan like game on the PCE? similar graphic style to Flashback/Prince of Persia?

You sir, read my mind. I've only played the game for a little bit, gets some time to get started but I had fun. I need to get back on that one again. Lots of text at the beginning was almost a turn off.

Phantasy Star has better 3D dungeon animation than any 16-bit game and every enemy is huge and well animated.

I'm assuming you mean SMS Phatasy Star?

The Mega Drive version also counts.

Not that it's a good game but Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure for Genesis and Sega CD has really nice sprite animations.

Seiken Densetsu 3 on the Super Famicom(Secret of Mana's Japan only successor) has some of the most amazing 2D graphics/animation on the system, with barely any slowdown. Unfortunately it's also riddled with bugs, but what Square game isn't?

For some reason, this game never had any form of re-release, even on the Japanese Virtual Console.

Tomna's death animation in Legend of Hero "Tonma" is exemplary.
