This and Evermore were awesome, it perplexed me as a child when I got online and saw people bashing them, until I figured out they hated them for being American-made games not developed in ~glorious Nippon~ and that's how I learned about otakus and weeaboos :3:


Mystic Quest isn't American made, it's made FOR Americans. Itls done by more or less the same team which made Final Fantasy Legend III though, I love the music for both LIII and MQ.

It's treated poorly for the fact that it's kind of an insult that it was so simplistic by comparison, when the reason it's dumbed down is because Square thought that kids might have trouble getting into big games like Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II (IV) so they made a kid-easy game. As for Evermore, it's just plain awesome, though I never heard anybody say otherwise personally, I've heard people prefer Mana over it, but not hate it.

As far as cult games, I guess I'd go with Space Quest or Legend of the Red Dragon

I'd also consider that Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath possibly both count.
