What about Millitary Madness/Nectaris? Dune (SegaCD)? Was there a console version of Dune 2? </strong><hr></blockquote>

There was a Dune game for the Genesis as well.

I'm partial to Risk and Pirates! Gold, though.

So far, I've only played a handful of this genre, including the two I referenced above;

SO what's everyone's favorites in this genre? And no, I'm not including US programmed RTS PC games like Starcraft/Warcraft.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Yes, and it was awesome. It was only about 20 hours though, but I'm starting to appreciate short RPGs though. Since it was only 20 hours there was no point that it got boring or tired or that I lost the urge to play.

I got bored with it 20 minutes into it, that and it was way to freaking easy, I had to die on purpose cause I wondered what the game over screen looked like. Then there was the theme song, "Magic Son Goku", WTF!?!?!?!?!?

Well, I can't really give any particular reason that you didn't enjoy it. FFT was way too easy too, and had one of the worst turn based strategy systems I've ever used, and the story wasn't any more exciting thatn Saiyuki's, but everyone seems to like that. I definitely think that Saiyuki is one of the better games listed in this thread.

I agree. That's the most crap I've ever purchased for 10 bucks.
