One of the best 8-bit RPGs out there and one of the Master System's finest titles, period. Deserves to be actively available on platforms outside of the Nintendo Switch nowadays.

This game is the magnum opus of 8-bit JRPGs in my (any many others') opinion. Graphics, music, scope of the world, etc, was absolutely stunning for its time. Though it's been released in various console formats & complications over the years, it's never been ported to the PC - and definitely deserves this.

My very first RPG. Change my vision of games. Has history, choices, lines and lines of dialog. Itens, equipaments, spells and strategy. Maps, monsters, fellows and more choices. NPC... What was that in 1987? Save game... woooooooooow!!! Change everything in a cartdrige console... not a Amiga or a TK90X

Hourglass
HourglassIn Hourglass you can create a time-clone of yourself to solve challenging puzzles. You will play as Aywa, a young adventurer who is traveling to Egypt to find her missing father - an archeologist, who never returned from his latest expedition. Pyramids are the tombs of the pharaohs. This is what most people believe. But more and more studies raise doubts about this thesis. Scientists found indications for ancient egypt being far more technologized than we can imagine. Hourglass is set in a scenario in which those assumptions are actually true.. Besides offering an ancient world to explore, Hourglass is mostly about solving various puzzles with a unique core-mechanic. Your ability allows you to record your actings for a certain amount of time. After that, time winds back to the beginning of the recording and a time-clone of yourself appears, repeating the actions.
