RPGs In English

[Monster Bonce]

Does anyone know of a complete list of TGCD RPGs? I have a PCE Duo so I can't play US HuCards but I'd still like to track down some CD games.

Cosmic Fantasy 2
The Legend of Heroes
Dungeon Master
Might & Magic III

That's it.

[Monster Bonce]

That's grim. What about Ys Books I & II and Ys III? If they don't count then I'm being unclear - it's those kinds of games I want. I'm currently playing Ys I & II in Japanese but would prefer to get it in English.

[FM-77]

Oh, I thought you meant RPGs.

[runinruder]

For action-RPGs, you've got Ys I & II, Ys III, Dungeon Explorer II, Exile, Exile II, and if you stretch the boundaries of the genre, Shape Shifter. 

[Monster Bonce]

My bad, I wasn't clear. Both kinds are fine by me. I'm struggling with Out Live and Necromancer looks like it would be pretty grim even if I could understand it.

Stretch how far? Stretch as far as Dragon's Curse or not quite that far?

[runinruder]

Yeah, it's a side-scrolling hack-and-slash quest game.  Take Legendary Axe and make it into a Simon's Quest style game, and that's basically what Shape Shifter's like.

Seldane forgot Order of the Griffin.

[Necromancer]

Seldane forgot Order of the Griffin.

No he didn't, that's a HuCard and M.B. wanted disc only games.

[Keranu]

Whoops, my bad!

Though actually was it possible to play Order of the Griffin on a Japanese system or was that Night Creatures of all games?

[Necromancer]

I don't recall, but whichever it was I believe still required a converter but didn't require the grounded pin.

[kenomac78]

i always considred beyond shadowgate to be an RPG, unless you come from the school of though that RPS must have hit points.i am not. with that you can add loom to the list. and some others

[FM-77]

Beyond Shadowgate does not contain a single RPG element. Even FIFA '07 is more of an RPG.

[Monster Bonce]

I had Shadowgate on the Mac and, waaaayyy back, on the Atari ST. How does the TG version differ?

Edit: I agree with Seldane, it's not an RPG, it's an adventure game. I suppose it's an RPG in the sense that every game has you playing a role. Still, I'm not complaining, I like adventure games.

[Keranu]

Technically practically any game can be a RPG since you role play in them.
