[1]***Included in Sega Mega Drive Classic Collection (Steam version)***Un clásico de los beat'em up, algo arcaico, lento y corto, pero entretenido, especialmente por las transformaciones y por algunos enemigos memorables.

6 de 10***One of the first games for the MegaDrive and the pack-in game which came with the first MegaDrive/Genesis versions. A decent arcade port with a problem. The arcade version itself wasn't very good. The game is too short and too slow. The graphics were very nice for its time but nowadays the bad gameplay becomes more obvious. Some call this game a classic, and they are right because this game has a certain significance when it comes to the history of the MegaDrive/Genesis. But calling this game a classic because of its gameplay would be doubtful.***Also included in Classic Collection (aka Mega Games 4-in-1), released in Europe in 1996 and published by Sega, rated ELSPA-3, that included [game=#9802]Flicky[/game], [game=#9845]Gunstar Heroes[/game], [game=#9535]Altered Beast[/game] and [game=#9530]Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle[/game].***When Zeus, the legendary Greek God, brings you back to life, you set forth on a mission to rescue his daughter Athena from the underworld. Along the way, collect the Spirit Balls dropped by enemies to increase your strength and transform into a variety of mythical creatures with powerful attacks.***Growwwwlllll!

Gnashing its way over from the arcades comes this super-cool scare game. Shares strong links (and the Chicken Leg!) with Golden Axe.

Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole  Sega (Climax Entertainment)1993Included in Sega Mega Drive Classic Collection (Steam version)***Un juego de RPG/plataformas, con un estilo muy similar al celda pero mucho mayor enfoque a la exploración y las plataformas, y con un protagonista que simplemente presta verlo andar, y un mundo tan colorido y alegre que hace que sólo De Blob podría hacerle oposición.

[cjlee001]***One of the best games ever. But... playing it though a emulator is real nasty, because of the games perspective and controls combined with the pc keyboard 3-key limit.
Get a real Megadrive and buy this game! Good!

This game rocks. Straight out. If you have a genesis and haven't played this game, play it. NOW.

Shining Force II  Sega;TecToy (Sonic Software Planning)1993Included in Sega Mega Drive Classic Collection (Steam version)***Similar al anterior juego, comienza un poco más sencillo en el combate, algo extraño ya que es una secuela, pero que no por ello ni mejor ni peor.

[20]***After Dark Dragon was vanquished, the land was peaceful again, until a petty theif stole the jewels of light and darkness which were used to seal an even greater evil, Zeon. The King of Devils is now loose and you must stop him.
Same style as the first one, but improvements on the gameplay here and there; some are subtles, like the improved menus, other are more obvious, like a much harder and longer game.
Probably the best music quality on the Genesis.

I really have lost count of how many times I've played through this game. It's as close as a non-FF RPG can get to being perfect.
[SamnMax]***It's a dark and stormy night in the kingdom of Granseal when a thief steals two jewels from the Tower of the Ancients. He sets in motion strange events that lead to the resurrection of Zeon, the Devil King. Granseal's king falls sick, the princess is kidnapped, and a door to Arc Valley, the Devil King's home, is opened. The young swordsman, Bowie, realizing the grave danger Granseal faces, must lead the Shining Force to find the Holy Sword and the stolen jewels, and protect Granseal against the invading armies of Zeon.***Directly from the game box (European version) :

An ancient evil has broken free, and is spreading over the land of Rune. You must lead the Shining Force into battle to recover the stolen jewels and seal the Door to Darkness. The Kingdom of Granseal is depending on you !
