What other games are similar to Final Fantasy Adventure on Gameboy

[majinbuu]

I'm about halfway through this game and really enjoying it. After I am through with this game I would like to play another that is like this one. It doesn't need to have rpg elements like stat levelling, so games like the original Legend of Zelda for the NES are fine too.

The systems I am looking at are NES/SNES/GB/GBA/SMS/Genesis/PCEngine.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Well, that's a big can of worms to open.

For starters, that is the original Seiken Densetsu, and has sequels, like Seiken Densetsu (Secret of Mana) 2 and 3 on SNES, and several more in the series.

Some other solid ones:

SNES:
The Illusion of Gaia
Terranigma
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Brain Lord
Lagoon
Road of the Paladin
The Secret of Evermore
Ys V
Soul Blazer

Genesis:
Beyond Oasis
Crusader of Centy
King Colossus

Master System:
Golvellius
Golden Axe Warrior
Ys

PCE:
Ys I, II, & IV
Neutopia
Neutopia II
Legend of Xanadu I & II

NES:
Zelda
Faria
Spiritual Warfare
Crystalis

There are loads more, but there's a start I guess.

GBA has a remaster of the game called sword of mana. I have it not a fan as much of the original been trying to ditch it. Shining Soul 1&2 on GBA is fairly similar with light Diablo PC elements to it too.

Celerystalker covered most of them for the systems he mentioned. I'll also second Tanooki that Sword of Mana is pretty bad. Graphically it's great, but I'd only recommend playing it if you're ready to fall asleep, because it's gameplay is boring as hell. Not at all as good as the original. I'm getting tired just thinking about it, although that could be because it's 1AM right now also.

I've heard about Monster House and Boktai for the GBA. They both look like fun so I'll put them on the list along with the great suggestions I've had so far from celerystalker and Tanooki.

Is the remake Sword of Mana that bad huh? Thanks for the heads up!

It's not bad, I just found it boring and unnecessary is all. I could never actually finish it either, best run was like 2/3 of it. They get gender PC in the start, you get to be a boy or a girl to be all inclusive and they name them I believe unlike the old where it was just how it was with you playing it. The general plot is still there, but it's a lot more long winded and overly explained all over the game with text sequences in chat boxes and stuff. The combat has been bumped up so it's more complicated, it's not as straight forward as the GB title or even really Zelda on GB or SNES either, just a slight bit too much into the unneeded category for expansion. While as beautiful and audio as nice say as SOM on SNES, it's just kind of boring. They gussied up the game beyond what was needed into a level of cosmetic, menu, and textual bloat that was not necessary and in a way diminishes the quality of the original game.

You may like it. If you want a little more complication with it so it's more on the level of SD2 or SD3 as far as foofoo goes and more to read it should be a blast.

I got it back in the day, maybe a year or two ago I got it again and tried playing but got side tracked, but I wasn't bored. I've had it sitting in a shipping bag with the manual and Nintendo official guide up for sale for awhile but I've never like strongly pushed to get rid of it either just in case. It's solid, but I'd call it a B vs the original being an A+ which I preferred over Link's Awakening.

I think it's a fair statement to say there's a reason the game sells regularly at the $10 level WITH the manual for it on ebay and that the guide is on the lower scale of 1st party Nintendo guides too ($10.)
