I played Shining in the Darkness when we had a Genesis. I never finished it then, but I imagine that's because I was about five and I wasn't very good at video games.Originally Posted by Beelzebub
Yeah, I've found it hard to get into a game long enough to beat it. I'm surprised Dead Island has held my attention for as long as it has. I'm determined to complete that one though.
Another one that Atlus published that is very similar to EO is Class of Heroes. Although that's for the PSP.
Another good dungeon-crawler, is for the Sega Genesis, and goes by the name of Shining in the Darkness. It has really detailed sprites for the time, although they're static sprites. As well as being the beginning of Sega's "Shining" series of games. Also it lacks an automap and instead has a map spell. Which definitely adds to the overall difficulty, unless you have your graph paper handy.I also really like D&
Warriors of the Eternal Sun, which had a bird's eye view perspective on the overworld, but a first person dungeon crawler view in the caves and dungeons and such. Finally beat that at one point with the past few years using an emulator.
Particularly the title screen and the map music. I will remember those fondly for pretty much ever.That's a bitchin' soundtrack. For a NES game, I mean.(I'm sure there are some much more interesting tracks, but those are the most familiar/nostalgic to me. Probably because I died constantly.
