Does Diablo count? ...nevermind

Valkyrie Profile.

Oddly, quite a few games that do not seem too similar share enough characteristics for me to lump them into adventure. I do not call any of them RPGs because they do not use exp to make your character grow.


RPG
Secret of Mana
Crystalis
Castlevania SotN
Castlevania AoS
Castlevania CotM

Adventure
Alundra
All Zeldas
Metroid Prime
Super Metroid
Metal Gear Solid

Genre header is far too nebulous

Action RPG and RPGs are too different to put in one category

Hmm, top 5 Action/Adventure/RPGs?

Madden 2k5
Tony Hawk Underground 2
Tech Romancer
Guardian Heroes
Tengen Tetris

It's really just ARPGs... I threw in "adventure" so as to potentially add games like Castlevania and Zelda for stat sticklers.

1. Castlevania SotN
2. Zelda A Link to the Past
3. Secret of Mana
4. Star Tropics
