I had the demo for Alone in the Dark (1992) and I never tried it more than once. The first bit of gameplay has a zombie coming at you and that was more than enough for me. TBF I was 7 and also already pretty bad with scary stuff.
@whitegreyblack: Yeah I was gonna say EDF but looking at some of the games in this thread I have no idea what's considered a B tier game anymore. A lot of these seem pretty A comparatively.
The former is actually an incorrect reading of the title, and the latter, listed as an alias on the wiki page, is the correct and actual title of the game. Thanks!
I have a stack of games I've never put any time into, and I'm trying to go back and look at some of these old Japan only RPGs I have laying around. At the moment I'm playing Emerald Dragon for the PC-Engine and I'm really enjoying it. It's a real looker compared to a lot of the RPGs on the system, the story and characters are interesting enough and very importantly it allows you to save the game at any time (and also to set your walk speed as a menu option). The combat system is nothing else if not novel; it's a turn based system where you have free movement around the battlefield, and moving and attacking drain your meter. It almost feels like a very prototypical Valkyria Chronicles, although the enemy AI isn't particularly clever and there's not a whole lot of strategy going on. At this point I'm about 4 hours in and I'll probably stick with it.
Also I love how all these old RPGs come with physical maps
