Still have the old Saturn game with manual, They used to make beautiful manuals back then. This game is fairly unique and detailed. The characters are interesting, well drawn and each faction you play as has a different storyline. Really miss playing this one.
I've played so many games. Almost everything from the Pong Console to present day. Dragon Force is one of those games that I keep thinking about, along with Snatcher for Sega CD but that will be for another vote. I own this for my Saturn but would love a PC port, and willing to pay for it again. For many who never played this game, it is easily one of the best Saturn releases. Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn stands out as a special title due to its ambitious blend of strategy, role-playing, and real-time tactical combat, a combination that was rare for its time. Released in 1996 by Working Designs, the game offered an expansive world with eight distinct kingdoms, each led by a unique monarch with their own motivations and storylines, giving players an unprecedented level of choice and replayability. Its innovative battle system, featuring massive clashes with up to 100 units per side, brought a thrilling sense of scale and chaos that set it apart from typical RPGs. Coupled with vibrant 2D sprite art and a sweeping soundtrack, Dragon Force delivered a rich, immersive experience that earned it a cult following. For Saturn owners, it was a showcase of the console's potential, pushing technical and creative boundaries in an era dominated by simpler narratives and gameplay mechanics. Do your thing GOG. Make this happen please!

The anime storyline set in a grand fantasy and the armies you could make with your defeated opponents made this one an awesome game. An updated version for PC would be awesome.

This is probably my favorite game ever made. I used to play this after school in Jr high and always ended up spending too much time with it. It was too easy to play for what felt like an hour but was often more like 3-4 hours. Its amazing that so few games even inspired by this one have released over the years. I'm surprised Sega hasn't done more with re-releasing it. If the opportunity ever comes up, GOG should work with them on bringing this game to PC.

Treasure Hunter G
Treasure Hunter GBrothers Red and Blue G. decide to leave their idyllic village in search of their long lost father, who left the kids years ago to go treasure hunting. Unfortunately, as soon as they begin their quest, they become entangled with a mysterious girl on the run from evil monsters who holds the key to the resurrection of a great demon. Now its up to the brothers to save the world if they ever want to find their father. Treasure Hunter G is a top-down RPG in which you control your party of four characters as they explore the fantasy/sci-fi game world in search for quests and grinding their stats while the plot advances. The game is divided in a world-map screen, a top-down "town" mode and a turn-based fight mode in which the characters are taken to generic tiled top-down arenas in which they select each character and move or attack depending on their action points. Enemies can be seen on the map instead of jumping at you at random intervals, and you can freely decide whether to engage them or simply circle them around. The game uses a combination of hand-drawn sprites and CGI pre-rendered one (mostly for the main characters) with a distinct cute or Super Deformed design (as usual for most console RPGs).
