Dracula's castle has risen from the mist and the Belmont heir is missing! The open-ended gameplay mixed with RPG mechanics in this installment of Castlevania platformers set the template for later games in the series (coining the term "Metroidvania").
Super Metroid is the third game in the Metroid series and the only Metroid game to be released on the Super Nintendo. It has become widely revered for its gameplay, atmosphere, and environmental storytelling, and continues to inspire many action-adventure games.
The third installment in the Zelda series makes a return to the top-down 2D gameplay of the original. Link must travel between the Light and Dark Worlds in order to set things right in the kingdom of Hyrule.
A top-down dungeon crawling action RPG originally released for the NEC PC-9801 in 1991 and was later ported to the SNES and released in North America.
Shion and his Monster World Companions go on a quest to defeat BioMeka and his army of monsters, to restore peace to the land. Shion must make use of the special abilities of his companions in each world. Combines platforming and RPG elements, similar that in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.
A sidescrolling 2D platformer/RPG hybrid in which the protagonist, Wonder Boy, must regain his human form after having been cursed by a dragon. Released under the name "Dragon's Curse" on the Turbografx-16 with slightly improved 16-bit graphics.
Ys Book I & II follows the adventure of Adol Christin, a traveler who embarks on a quest to locate the fabled lost floating continent called Ys. The game is a enhanced compilation of the first two Ys titles and was one of the first games to demonstrate the potential of the TurboGrafx-16's CD-ROM add-on.
The third game in the Ys series developed by Nihon Falcom that introduced a new side-scrolling perspective and allowed the player to directly control Adol's ability to attack and jump for the first time.
Sorcerian, also known as Dragon Slayer V: Sorcerian, is an action RPG released by Nihon Falcom in 1987. It was considered unique for its party-based action combat, magic combination system, and open-ended multi-scenario system that could be extended with expansion packs.
Side-scrolling, Metroidvania-style, action RPG, released by System Sacom in 1987.
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is the second entry in the ground-breaking Zelda franchise. This controversial follow-up ditches the original's top-down perspective for 2D side-scrolling exploration and combat. The 2D towns, dungeons and combat arenas are tied together by a top-down overworld.
