38. Bahamut Lagoon (SNES)



I'm a dead sucker for strategy RPGs and raiser sims, and since Bahamut Lagoon is the former with hints of the latter, it's like it was custom made just for me. The story follows a group of dragon knights in exile as they attempt reclaim their homeland from the Granbelos Empire, and naturally a lot of interpersonal drama ensues along the way. Just as important as the relationships between your characters, though, is your relationship with your dragons, and taking the time to raise them properly (including feeding them lots of healthy food, like porno mags) will allow you to reap the rewards on the battlefield. Bahamut Lagoon drips with SNES-era Squaresoft charm, with beautiful spritework and a suitably stirring score from a young Noriko Matsueda. Unfortunately, it is also one of many SNES treasures that Square never bothered to bring out of Japan, but thanks to the magic of ROMs and fan translations it was finally made available to western audiences some years later. Rejoice!
