I wasn't sure if they were or not, but the basic design at least is pretty similar in terms of movement, combat, etc.

Well, for what it's worth, many classic games & series (ie Ultima, Wizardry, Lode Runner, Boulder Dash, Chip's Challenge,even Cave Story) started out this way so can never really tell know how good a game will be until you or someone else plays it. ^_^

I see your point though - playing Teh Adventures of Brockli Bleck probably wouldn't be too satisfying in comparison to, say, Eternal SaGa or Fetish Fantasy 0, particularly if you paid $5, $10 or even $30 for it. -_-U

Hidden treasures are part of the reason that I don't mind exploring the internet - (re)discovering well-made/innovative (indie) games can be rewarding in more ways than one. ^_^

I'll give Kindered Saga a try, one day, but I'm hoping that a well-written crossover RPG (read: bigger & better than Kingdom Hearts) can be made (available), as well. ^_^

There are lot of stories that can be told (including ones where poor TV series are erased from existence) in game form, particularly when fanfiction sites are no longer accessible, for whatever reason.

This was so good back then, especially because it was done by only one person.

Undertale was made in GameMaker, not RPG Maker.
