/vr/ - Retro Games

Ok fellows. I have a request, but first a little background. I love retro games, but i've always stuck to the fast paced, high action sort of genres....fighting, action side scrollers, etc etc. The world of RPGs never interested me because i felt like everytime i started one i got bored too quickly and just turned it off for Megaman or something...but now i'm on my laptop with no gamepad atm (i can't play action games with keys) the only one i ever really played alot was the Pokemon franchise...which i've been playing but it's getting old. So i'm asking....what are some good classic RPGs for the SNES or Genesis? And not just good, but also good for somebody who really doesn't have any experience with whatever series the game is in...something one new to the genre should be able to jump in and learn the ropes quickly and enjoy it without looking up a strategy guide or something, halp?
