This game is a very amazing and underrated game from Konami. People usually know them for Castlevania, but not me, this is the game I know them for.

The Final Fantasy most people never heard about. Origanally released on The Super Famicom(SNES in Japan) only in Japanese.

A very good Super Mario game, considering Gameboy doesn't have very many to offer.

Super GnG is the SNES incarnation of this tough-as-nails series, and is surprisingly a little bit easier than the NES ersion. While it's still considered an astronomical feat to pass the whole game (requiring you to go through all the levels TWICE), the levels themselves do seem easier than before.

Grandia II (USA)
Sega Dreamcast ISO

Grandia 2 is spectacular. The magic effects are brilliant especially Millenias special spells. As one of the few rpgs for the Dreamcast, it did very well having being ported to PC and to the PS2.
