All those who speak in hushed tones about Shining Force on the Megadrive should go for this, as should anyone who rated the Zelda series on the SNES.

It's the continuing adventures of the Weeble warriors as you play the wandering hero in this vast game. If you're curious about the meandering plot, have a flick through our epic guide over the last few issues. Suffice it to say that this will keep you busy for weeks, and is made all the more playable by the substitution of tedious drawn-out battle sequences for real time skirmishes.

The only flies in the ointment are the rather primitive graphics, but don't let that put you off. If you've got the brain for this sort of caper, then you won't be disappointed.
