Had an itch to get back into the old school strat RPG's and the Shining Force series was one I've always loved to play way back in the day.

Found this site with the games so here I am.  Just got done playing the newest Fire Enblem game Awakenings and wanted to go "back in time" to replay the Shining series.

Cheers, I still had the original first game but not the others, so I think I'll start out with the SF's CD game to start here, any other strat gamers here?

I like strategy games, but I don't play them all the time. I do like the "Shining" series though. Started off playing "Shining in the Darkness" and enjoyed the evolution of the series on the Genesis, and the Game Gear back in the 90's.

Happy Gaming! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks for all the welcomes and if ya have any questions and help, just getting used to the site right now, but I did play a bit of SF CD for a couple battles already.

Ya, Fire Emblem as well as the Tactics Ogre, Ogre Battle, FF Tactics and pretty much anything else tactical I've had my hands on over the years

Really wish they made more games like them nowadays, but until the FE Awakening its been kind of dieing a slow death,

So any advise on any strat RPG games here that I might have missed?  Thinking some of the exclusive Japan release only ones I bet, and what other series would you all recommend for my taste in games?

Cheers

Tom

Thanks Dean, I can't quite make out some of your post as your background is white as well so the words don't quite come through.

But it gives me another chance to expand on my gaming interests besides Strat RPG's , I also like playing straight RPG's as well to.
I remember the first game I got for my shiny new Super Nintendo (ya, I'm that old, god forbid...LOL : ))

It was that First Final Fantasy game to come over to the US, man I can remember staying up for 24 hour periods when  first started playing that one,just being Mezmerized by it, bringing back the memories of my AD&D gaming from High School through College.  Then onto any type of RPG I could get my hands on.

Then following and buying any system that had the best (or most) RPG's and Strat/RPG's on said platform respectivly.  I was also and still am into WW II type gaming, in fact I just started replaying XBOX 360's Operation Darkness, a very under rated strat WWII RPG type game.
I think I also recall a Genesis game called Iron Storm I used to just LOVE playing, another WWII type strat game, but alass I don';t see that one here, but maybe sometime it might show up.

Cheers, time to strt up the Shning Force CD again I think!!

Tom

Thanks for the post and the Friend request as well, I'm slowly but surly trolling through the site forums and checking specific threads that interest me out, and some of the game needles to say.

Are you by chance into Strat/RPG's?

Cheers, there are more than a few here I can;t wait to get to play when I have the time!!

Tom

TRDG : Well, there's a new game series to start, it seems interesting and a break from my constant addiction to Pokemon and Zelda.

I've played fire emblem, it got kind of boring, since I'm not into war games. Anyway, I'm sure that when you're done, you may find another game series that you have never discovered before, I have I'm pretty sure I have myself. Have fun on this site, and remember: The forums and the people in the chat rooms are ready to help you at moments notice.

Thanks Hak, Just retried FE Gaiden and it is'nt quite like what I thought it might be, but onto the next one in the series to see if I like that one!!

Have you tried the Shining Force Series yet? Ya kind of a strat Fantasy war game like FE, but a bit different at least.

Cheers, thanks for the post andthe heads up on the chatt room

TRDG : Welcome to Vizzed! Do you like pokemon games? I am a huge pokemon fan, hopefully we can be friends. Welcome to vizzed, have a great time.

Welcome to vizzed. This site has lots of old school rpgs and
more so you'll definitely enjoy yourself here.

Thanks for the still ongoing welcomes, I love that compared to other sites!!  :  )

Not really into Pokemon, more so the "harder edged" RPg/Strat games, but I may just give it a try, what one is the most fun to play here that you would recommend DD?


Then for any other RPG, strat or otherwise what might be your recommondations on cool games I may have never seen but are bery fun to play?

I know it all depnds on what one likes, but still I think its worth asking here.

Cheers, now back to Shining Force CD for another round, or two!!  LOL
