I really miss strategy games these days. I mean the base building ones.
I have to do it with the remakes of old base building games like Age of Empires and Rise of Nations.

Link to the past isnt a RPG....

Anyways, you mean the adventure RPG genre? I still play the older games - I've played my 3rd playthrough of Terranigma last year and I'm thinking of playing Sword of Mana sometime in the future along with Secret of Mana sometime in the future.

None of the games I listed is an RPG. Except maybe Chrono Trigger a bit.

Secret of Mana, Terranigma, Illusion of Gaia are extensions of the RPG genre - they are adventure RPGs as I label them and some people label them as Action RPGs although I would prefer calling games like Star Ocean and Tales Of series as action RPGs.

So what is the difference between ALttP and Terranigma / Illusion of Time that you say they are different genres?

I miss puzzle adventurer's like Myst, the 7th Hour and the 11th Guest...though, I think the Witness will be kind of reviving that genre.

A new Myst-game is in the works: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyaninc/obduction

And have you already played the other Myst games? Riven, Exile, Uru, End of Ages. The "Masterpiece Edition" of "realMyst" (Windows + Mac + iOS) is also very good... much prettier than the old realMyst. "Outcry: The Dawn" also is very Myst-like.

The 7th Guest and 11th Hour were mainly puzzle games with a story arc and trashy video sequences. If you want good puzzle games connected by a nice story: all Professor Layton games (DS + 3DS) and Jacob Jones (PS Vita + iOS). If it's a funny story and trash FMVs: Tex Murphy - Tesla Effect.

"The 7th Guest 3: The Collector" is already planned, but they failed twice trying to crowdfund it.

My favorite dead genre is 2D beat em up's. Ah the memories.

Madoka : Grief Seed. More of a run and gun, but local mutliplayer up to 3 people. It's free and it's on pc. Only bad thing is the confign file is only in japanese, but there are a few extensive guides on the internet.
