have heard of it, but never played it. didn't own a genesis back in the days

I think I've heard of it in passing but never played it

nope

Yes, I remember my best friend in primary school had one of the games on the Mega Drive

I hadn't, no. I don't have that much of a video game culture really

The only Shining I’ve heard of is the movie.
🔪 🩸 REDRUM

No. Is it about mirrors?

No

I remember those games, I'd compare it more to Fire Emblem than Mario. There was a spinoff called Shinning The Holy Ark on the Sega Saturn, although it's a standard RPG than turn based strategy game.

Sorry, nope.

yeah i’ve heard of shining force! i never played it but i’ve heard of it x3

I've heard, but never played.

My boyfriend does.

That's one of those games I only know because it turned up in a giant ROM collection I totally got legitimately by ripping all the cartridges myself with the ROM dumper I definitely actually have.

I might have it in my store, probably should check.
