Shining Force kinda had a leg up on early fire emblem. I think Mystery of The Emblem may have been a better game overall but even that game had flaws and annoyances that weren't in Shining Force

Shining Force

Appreciating classic box art thread. Remembering the time when you'd go into a store and the boxes would catch your eye. Sit on your shelves for years like fondly remembered books.

I have embraced the digital world long ago now. I used to own boxed games but I grew up, moved around some and they got thrown out or lost along the way to save space and time. Maybe it is the not recession we're in, but part of me misses physical presence of products hallmarking their ownership, hell we don't even own anything now.

Anyway post box art, maybe a few sentences on memories of a favorite game. Or hell a game you fucking hated.

Love the first shining force, how many of the others are worth playing and what’s the best platform to play each one?
