Shining Force was one of the greatest strategy RPGs for the Sega Genesis entertainment system. The story involved a villain called Kane, who was actually a good character before he was controlled by an evil force, who tried resurrecting the Dark Dragon who of course planned on destroying the Earth, and a hero who had to collect the swords of light and darkness to create the all-powerful Chaos-Breaker. The battles were turn-based, yet turned into a Final-Fantasy-type battle when a member of your team met with an enemy. It was released in 1993 by Sonic. A sequel to the game was created in 1994 in the same style by the same company.
