good SNES rpgs?

[Das98]

Why are there SO many sites with the exact same roms? There should be like, a master site for getting roms. This site maybe
And I don't understand the whole number-title game thing. Like, the [U] and [J] and [Insert game here]-10975. And stuff like that. What are the numbers for? I know the letters, like for what country and laguage, but the numbers.. Shouldn't there only be ONE version of any game? And if there is only one version of a game/rom, then why are there lots of numbers in the titles sometimes?

The roms are named after the Good Tools naming format.

Here's the rom codes.

............. STANDARD CODE NOTES ............

[a] This is simply an alternate version of a
ROM. Many games have been re-released to
fix bugs or even to eliminate Game Genie
codes (Yes, Nintendo hates that device).
-------------------
[b] A bad dump often occurs with an older
game or a faulty dumper (bad connection).
Another common source of [b] ROMs is a
corrupted upload to a release FTP.
-------------------
[f] A fixed game has been altered in some way
so that it will run better on a copier
or emulator.
-------------------
[h] Something in this ROM is not quite as it
should be. Often a hacked ROM simply has
a changed header or has been enabled to
run in different regions. Other times it
could be a release group intro, or just
some kind of cheating or funny hack.
-------------------
[o] An overdumped ROM image has more data
than is actually in the cart. The extra
information means nothing and is removed
from the true image.
-------------------
[t] A trainer is special code which executes
before the game is begun. It allows you
to access cheats from a menu.
-------------------
[!] Verified good dump. Thank God for these!

............. SPECIAL CODE NOTES .............

**** SNES ****
(BS) These Japanese ROMs were distributed
through a satellite system in Japan
known as the Broadcast Satellaview.
They were transmitted along with a TV
show which was connected to the game in
some way. These games were only playable
during the show, and thus stop after an
hour, and many were timed so that only
certain time periods were playable.
-------------------
(ST) The Sufami Turbo device allowed two
GameBoy sized carts to be plugged into
the SNES. Certain carts combined into
new games much like the Sonic & Knuckles
lock-on technology by Sega.
-------------------
(NP) Nintendo Power has been known to release
games only available to its subscribers.
Most of these ROMs are Japanese, as this
practice occured mainly in Japan.
-------------------

**** Genesis ****
(1) Carts with this code will run on both
Japanese and Korean machines.
-------------------
(4) While this code is technically the same
as a (U) code, it is a newer header
format and represents that the cart will
run on USA and Brazil NTSC machines.
-------------------
(B) This country code indicates that the
cart will run on any non US machine.
-------------------
[c] This code represents a cart with known
faulty checksum routines.
-------------------

**** GameBoy ****
[BF] Bung released a programmable cartridge
compatable with the GameBoy which could
hold any data you wished to play.
However, many games do not function on
Bung v1.0 carts and have to be 'fixed.'

Look at this post for PSX title info.

Robotrek is a good game, I used to own it for the real SNES console. Front mission is good, but it got too repetitive for me so I didn't finish it and I finish almost every game I get into.

This site might help you pick some games http://www.rpgclassics.com/, just check out the shrines.

alright i have both games and just played a little of both... robotrek's robot doesnt seem that good... when you customize him can you see the weapons and stuff? and for front mission, i like the customization alot so far, i wonder about other games that have FM's kind of customization

i'll look at that site soon

Yeah, well, aside from ToP and all that, I'll say Bahamut Lagoon. Pretty good tactical RPG.

[pgfreak]

i duno.. i MIGHT try bahamut lagoon, looks a bit weird though, although it seems like there are alot of characters which is a + for me. who is that in your avatar?

[Gare]

Bahamut Lagoon is a good game, not the best tactical RPG around, but still good IMO. You can train dragons and stuff to help you in battles. . And I have no idea who's that in my avatar... just some random anime pic I found after a bit of searching.

[pgfreak]

are there alot of characters in BL ? like people you can get on your team?

[Gare]

are there alot of characters in BL ? like people you can get on your team?

Yeah, I guess so.

Anyway. http://www.rpgclassics.com/shrines/s...aracters.shtml

[Lucullus]

Bahamut Lagoon is actually pretty good, since you can feed your dragons stuff and they evolve and become more powerful (or less if something goes wrong) The story line is a bit straight forward so you can't really go where you want to but most RPGs from that time was like that. Still damn good tho
Secret of Mana is excellent as you can actually change which character you want to play while they are in your party and also the battles aren't turnbased as FF.
God I miss SNES... I think I'll devote my life to get all games for it and a good stock of SNES boxes just in case and lock myself in a room for the rest of my life LOL.

[Stoned Stoner]

Yeah Lucullus i know what you mean, i have so many games on my modded xbox

it plays snes,nes,gba/gbc/gb,n64,psx,kawa,mame,neo pocket,megadrive,mastersystem
+xbox games!! theres over 1000 games that you can play on your tv with the great xbox controller

you could lock yourself in your room and have years of gaming!!!

Soul Blazer is known by few but it's a very good RPG for SNES.

[pkt-zer0]

Soul Blazer is known by few but it's a very good RPG for SNES.

I found that that game had to much slashing around... even more than Zelda, and that's an action-adventure game.
Or maybe I just suck at action games.
