Been playing console RPGs since the 16-bit era. Some of my favorites from that era include Lunar:The Silver Star, Chrono Trigger, Lufia II, and Final Fantasy 4. There's others but the list would go way too long

I thought the music in the first Lunar on SegaCD was done better than Lunar:Silver Star Story. Everything else in the PSX version though was done much better than the original. However I thought quite the opposite of Lunar: Eternal Blue for SegaCD. It seemed horrible in every aspect after I had beaten the game, but the PSX version made up for all of those flaws and came out with something very extravagant(sp?). I like how they kept the songs from Eternal Blue and basically redid them to sound like they weren't all muffled and everything like they had been on the SegaCD. Basically though Lunar is my favorite console rpg series out there. It was really what got me into console rpgs in the first place.

I've been playing pen and paper rpgs on and off since about freshman year in HS, which was quite some time ago. I've played a little bit of D&D, Vampire:The Masquerade(sp?), Mage:The Ascension, and Call of Chilou(sp?).

EDIT:Oh yes Ultima. I've played a couple of those games. The first one was Exodus Ultima on the NES. I was so young when I played it that I couldn't figure out what to do. The other one was Ultima:Runes of Virtue II on the SNES. That caught my attention but I think I got stuck at some point in it or something. I know there was something that prevented me from completing it even though I got kinda far. The Ultima series sure is interesting one. It has something that makes it seem unique to it, but I'm not sure what.
