A few new pickups today:
Alisia Dragoon is really one of my favorite Genesis titles of all-time. It plays like an adventure platformer with RPG elements. You have a set of familiars that follow you around and level up separately from you. The game gets brutally difficult but the graphics and music are great for a Genesis game.
Light(e)ning Force is the 4th game in the Thunderforce series. From a technological standpoint the game is absolutely incredible. I have never seen this many layers of paralax scrolling on ANY other 4th generation system, and that includes heavy hitters like the Neo Geo. There is some noticeable slowdown in places, but not near as much as you'd think by the amount of things going on. Plus the opening music is ****ing rad!
Peace Keepers is a side-scrolling beat-em-up which is pretty standard fare except that there are branching paths and multiple outcomes for each level. It's not as fun as say, Final Fight, but it's unique and getting quite difficult to find these days.
Tales of Phantasia. I can't say enough good things about this title. The game is hands down the most lush and gorgeous SNES game I have ever played. The graphics, animation, and voice acting (yep, on a SNES) are all quite good, and although I don't speak Japanese I can hear every syllable spoken clearly. This is my first Tales game ever (appropriate since it's the first) and so far I am very impressed. If I didn't know any better I would've guessed this to be a PS1 or Saturn game by the way ity looks, moves, and sounds. One of the best RPGs on the SNES, and it absolutely baffles me that it never made it to the US. This is a reproduction translated cart, which thus far works
