There was a time, I think from the very late 90s until the early 2000s, where that exact same logo with the shield was used on RPG covers or official websites to mark games as RPGs. I don't know if this was an Atlus only thing, but it definitely was a thing for a bit. I remember the GBA Tactics Ogre game having the same logo, for example.

My best friend and I both had it but we didn't know anyone else with Sega CD back then.
He and I kept telling each other all the various little 'secrets' and shit we found in the game on our own, like training a shinobi, how to defeat Karmak, finding Sharktan items etc. He and I must've beaten it at least a dozen times each.
We also were the only ones we knew who even heard of, never mind actually played, Lunar, Lunar II and Popful Mail back then. In fact, he was such a huge Popful Mail fan back in the day, when he first played Earthbound (another game popular now that we only knew each other to have actually ever owned), he named all the characters after Popful Mail characters. The dog got named MH for Muttonhead and his fav thing PSI was Popful.

I've yet to encounter anyone but me who owned TG16/PC-Engine, so literally all those games are games only I played.

Castle Quest for Gameboy. Port of an ancient Famicom game and was only released in Europe.

Imagine chess, but with Advance Wars-esque combat scenes where your pieces fight by playing War with a standard deck of 52 cards (though certain pieces can attack outside of the combat scenes using magic). You can also upgrade your pieces, and they all have their own unique battle cries.

The original has a fan translation, but I prefer the port. A few of the classes were buffed so the game isn't quite as unforgiving, and an extraneous system whereby lower classes have fewer cards to choose from was removed, making for a fairer game.

It's not really a trick per session, but I found out those lich monsters (the skull you run into near the beginning of the game) can't be recruited, and they're low level that can only be obtained by fusing two monsters of the same family together iirc. However if you get one and fuse it with another monster, the result will be the next highest level monster in that particular lineage. So getting liches and fusing them to monsters will be able to get you strong groups of monsters if you powerlevel. Helps if you feel like you can't progress because not getting the right monsters recruited
