the sega master system was one of the most underrated consoles in history, but the one that more than any other was a symbol of my childhood. I still remember when we bought it with my father, who told me that for my birthday I could also have a game. I chose Kenseiden because I was struck by the illustration on the cover with the samurai going with his head bowed against a flaming skull and other demons. Sometimes I was scared of having to face the bosses of the game, and I made my father defeat them, it is one of the best memories I have of the time spent with him, even now that I am 38 years old and he is no longer with us. Please GOG team, bring back this game.
I remember playing this game. Liked the action, the monsters and the soundtrack is solid. I still remember some of it. This is a game deserves a revision. Sadly, only available in ROM format (internet) or Sega Master cartdrige. Wish there's a PC version with better graphics and sound (don't get me wrong, game is great, but deserves better treatment).

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New WorldSet two years after the events of the award-winning Tales of Symphonia for the Nintendo GameCube, Dawn of the New World follows the journey of two new young heroes, Emil Castagnier and Marta Lualdi, as they seek to uncover the mystery of why their world has fallen into ruin. In their quest, their paths will cross with the original cast of Tales of Symphonia including Lloyd and Colette, as well as a summon spirit known as Ratatosk who claims to be the lord of all monsters. Advancing the combination of story, characters and real-time battles of Tales of Symphonia, Dawn of the New World introduces a new monster recruitment feature in which players can capture more than 200 unique enemies and train them to actively participate in battle. Players can then feed these monsters to make them more effective, and even evolve them into several new fearsome forms. The game also features an updated real-time battle system that lets players move freely in all directions around the battlefield, execute powerful unison attacks and take advantage of a new elemental alignment system for even more strategic depth. Dawn of the New World gives players complete control over a full roster of Tales of Symphonia characters and ally monsters, letting them customize their adventure party into hundreds of unique combinations.

Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano
Alfa Romeo Racing ItalianoAlfa Romeo Racing Italiano, known in Europe as SCAR, is a Gran Turismo-style racing game. It is similar to the Gran Turismo series except for the role-playing game elements. The game was lauded for having artificial intelligence superior to Gran Turismo 4. When compared to Gran Turismo 4, Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano has far fewer cars and tracks. All the cars in the game are manufactured by the Alfa Romeo motor company. While most of the tracks are in Italy, a few are in other countries like Germany and the United States. A distinguishing feature of the game is that it models driver development using a system almost identical to a role-playing video game. In addition, cars get damaged, both visibly and in performance, by collisions or by driving off course.
