Planning, I suck at it. :-(
I'll give this thread a shot.
15 or so years ago, I was watching a family friend play a game on what I can now guess was almost definitely a sega system of some sort. The console was black or a really dark grey and too big to be a turbo grafx but not box shaped like my NES, it was definitely NOT a jaguar.
The game seemed to be an rpg of some sort, top down view. Good guys were on the right side of the screen in formation and 2 bad guys were on the left and there was some sort of dialogue, all his guys died in the scene, I think there was some sort of special effect when his characters were killed but I could be wrong. He said that was supposed to happen and then turned the game off for whatever reason (frustration?). Everytime I play FF2 and get to the end scenes before the final bossfight I am reminded of this game I watched so long ago as the scenes are very similar but the layout and character sprites are all wrong. It is worth noting that the game sprites sort of remind me of the ones used in the Lunar games but it definitely was not Lunar.
Any ideas? This game has been eating at me for the longest freaking time, and I have no way of contacting this kid or I would have asked him what the game was a very long time ago. I would love to finally figure out which game this was so I can play it.
