... You did read how I've said repeatedly that shmups are the best genre on the platform, right? There's a good reason why the shmup lists in my list above are so long, the system has a lot of good shooters.
I guess you don't really like shmups, then... that's too bad, if you don't it will definitely affect your opinion of the system downwards. Honestly, what you just said there would be like saying "I want to play the SNES, but don't want to play any platfomers. No sidescrollers. What are the good games then?" I think that that's a good comparison.
People could come up with lists, sure, but they'd be missing a whole lot of the system's best games.
Oh, on a related note, I prefer to play console games than arcade ones, even in emulation. I'd rather play shmups in SNES and Genesis and TG16 emulators than the original arcade versions in MAME. I'm not entirely sure why it is (it's probably partially because of how I don't love MAME), but I just have more fun with the console versions for some reason... I like shmups, but don't play them in MAME very often. I'd rather play console (or PC) ones, either on actual systems or in emulation.
But anyway, I already did a pretty nice list above, all separated by genre and format (CD or card) so just refer to that. Do you want me to say which ones I like more and which I like less, or something like that, or do reviews of stuff before you attempt anything, and only play ones I like or something?
There are a good number of action-RPGs, as you can see from the list above, but there are only about three traditional RPGs in English, the two I listed and one with a fan translation, Startling Odyssey II (go to the link in the TG16 links thread, the translated download is available there). The PC Engine CD actually had a lot of RPGs, but very, very few were released here, and only the one has a translation (compared to the action-RPGs, where we got more titles, and two have translations).
