HI
I was wondering if the shining force for sega cd is the same or different from the genesis version and if the game gear version is a different game as well?

The Sega CD version is an upgraded port of two of the three GameGear games. Namely Gaiden 1, and Gaiden 2 (release stateside as Sword of Hayja). It's not the same as either Genesis Shining Force game.
The biggest difference (and why it's my favorite version of Shining Force) is there's none of that "walking around town talking to people" b.s. So it's pretty much just pure battles. You have in-between sections where you can choose your fighters and equip them, etc. But aside from that, it's all fight scene after fight scene.
And of course the audio is a lot better.
it also has quite excellent music
It's also quite pricey, dammit. I've been watching ebay for it but I'll be damned if I'm paying more than $30.

I paid $60 and don't regret it. It's just a great game.Originally Posted by fishsandwich
As for the "walking bullshit" the gamegear games are also set up with no town roaming bits.
I found it at a game store recently for $30. How does it go for on Ebay?Originally Posted by fishsandwich
In the past Ive gotten several of them for $3 or $6 each at K-mart all brand new and sealed ! recent one was just cd itself for only a buck .
