Shining Force 2-For the Genesis (Mega-drive)

Not my first, definately not the last.

It blew me away, it was the first time I was engrossed in a story, the first time I genuinely cared about characters. The first time I felt like I played a pivotal role in the storyline.

I felt like I was exploring a new world, not some Mushroom Kingdom or Hedgehog-esque techno nightmare. The battles were exiting, required thought out tactics, they punished poor decisions and rewarded good ones.

I bought the game after 7 years of not playing it this year (I had orignally rented it at least 13 times from my rental store as they didn't have it in any of the stores here), nothing in my gaming experience has come slightly close to this game.

This is my favourite game growing up...and now!
