What have you been playing and hows it going? Anything got you stuck? What high score are you going for? is this the first, second, (n+1) play-through?

I’ve been slowly getting through Shadow Run for Genesis when i have free time. thanks to some feedback from this community i restarted the game but I’m on a lot better footing. still on my first play-through. Sadly my free time has come to a halt as my child is going through a sleep regression. Looking forward to getting back into it soon.

Hope everything is well!

Shining Force is putting me to sleep. But... that's why I wanted it, so it's good? (-ish:-D)

Before that I played Shining in the Darkness (I made a post about it to help that community get started, although it is too highly specific so I don't expect it will survive).

I wonder if I should follow up with Shining Force II, but I tend to not want to finish it. All the extra stuff you want to do to level up your characters just leads to really long battles and then you Egress and do it all again and again - it feels too gimmicky, rather than natural.

But Shining Force is so simple and easy and short and fun so that one I enjoy:-).

i have a copy of shining force on Saturn waiting for me to play it. idk why I’m getting more into RPGs when i have almost no time for them. interesting reason to play a game. though whatever promotes healthy sleep habits haha.

This one can be really short, and even if you level up your characters (which you don't really need to, especially if you limit yourself to only use the ones that you think you'll want to keep and set the others aside, only using as carriers of medical herbs and perhaps to take a bit) it still is short. Plus each battle is short, so it's a good candidate if you don't have so much time right now, very unlike the vast majority of RPGs.
