There's barely anything of note. Only thing I can recommend is The Granstream Saga on PSX (which was developed by Shade, a division of Quintet). For a 5th gen RPG it's remained relatively cheap.

Note wrote:Thanks, Bone! I love Quintet stuff on the SNES! Their games have been some of my favorites on the console. I'd like to try and track down their other offerings on the system. Does anyone have any recommendations on later Quintet titles, after the SNES? Just curious if any of their releases that came out after the 16-bit generation are worth checking out.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Granstream_Saga

I played The Granstream Saga a couple of years ago. It's an interesting action RPG that feels like a mixture of Dark Souls and a 1-vs-1 Fighting game when it comes to the combat. It wasn't great, but it is an interesting game that you may want to look into.

Note wrote:Nice pick-ups, Markies! Dragon's Crown and Bangai-O are also on my to get list. Dragon's Crown seems like a fun couch co-op play through. I think my partner and I would have a good time with it.

Also, that's cool you found Tengen Tetris! I think that's a hard to find game, IIRC. Doesn't that version include two players head-to-head?


It's not like an insane amount or super hard to find as other really expensive NES games, but it is fairly rare. It's more based on the Atari Tetris Arcade Cabinet that they made. But, yes, it does have 2 Player Head to Head, which is very interesting and unique as the NES version did not. It also has 2 Player Co-Op, where I think one player places a piece and then the second player places the next piece. It is a very interesting game and a unique footnote in Tetris History.

Hey Bone and Markies, thanks both for the tip about about The Granstream Saga. This game looks pretty fun, I enjoy RPGs with action elements and the battle system here looks unique. I'd like to check it out for sure.

Markies, I didn't realize there was also a two-player co-op mode on the cart as well, that's pretty awesome. Hope you enjoy some two player Tetris soon!

Let me know how The Eternal Cylinder is. It sounded interesting.

I've never heard of Jinks. Is it exclusive to 7800?

It's actually on several computers; 7800 is the only console port. I'm pretty sure it's of European origin.
