Well, here it is. Time to vote for April's Together Retro. This poll closes in seven days. Choose two options. Here we go. The options...
1980s Genesis
Many of us were introduced to the Sega Genesis via 1991's Sonic the Hedgehog. But the history of the console goes back years prior, as the Genesis launched in North America in 1989 and (it's hard to believe) 1988 in Japan. This category is for all those wild early Genesis (and Mega Drive) titles: arcade ports, shmups, golf, Rambo, Hydlide, and so much more.
Games List:
Enix on SNES
Enix was always more of a publisher than developer. They achieved greatness on the Super Nintendo (and Super Famicom), releasing games by the likes of Heartbeat, Quintet, Chunsoft, Almanic, Quest, Produce, Westone, tri-Ace, and, uh, Manley & Associates. There's a lot to explore in this RPG-heavy category.
Games List:
HuCard RPGs
Discussions around the best TurboGrafx RPGs almost always center around the CD-ROM games, like the immortal Ys Book I & II. But what about those humble HuCard (or "TurboChip") releases? There are surely some gems lurking about here. Passwords or saves, it's your choice. Rest in Peace, Virtual Console.
Games List:
Classic Japanese Adventure Games and Visual Novels
Mystery, romance, horror, comedy. Japanese adventure games (and the closely related visual novels) have it all. Fall in love, solve murders, and above all else, get ready to read. We're keeping it retro here: third through fifth gen (or thereabouts).
