I'm pretty sure that there is.
I wonder what the first one to get released in the STATES was.....probaly Warsong for the Genesis or one of the Orge Tactics games for the SNES.

I'm pretty sure that Warsong came before Shining Force, but I may be wrong.

What about Crystal Warriors for Game Gear? When was that one released?
Lords of Midnight came out on the C64 in '85. Earliest I can find with what I consider independent elements of strategy and RPG.
Underdogs has a freeware remake (http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?gameid=656) posted.
