One Of The Greatest RPG's

Lunar: The Silver Star is a must-have game for any Sega CD owner. It was probably the single best experience I had on my SegaCD. I hope you get the same experience out of it too.
PROS:
-Storyline is second to few
-Gameplay is in the tradition of standard JRPGs like Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger
-Diversity of weapons and armor pickups are enjoyable
-Audio is first-class and done in Q-Sound...a function of having a CD drive in a 16-bit era
-Characters are interesting
-The summation of all keeps you coming back for more.
CONS:
-Like most JRPGs, after you beat it once, there's little to go back for. It's like watching a good movie. It'll be awhile before you want to watch it again.
-Nothing else that I can think of.

Of all the games that I played for Sega CD this is my favorite. It has a cool plot and a bunch of off humor that is a blast (like the dragon diamond heh) Nall is a riot.
The playstation remake is nicer looking but there is just something about the writing of the Sega CD version that is better.

I haven't actually played through the entire game yet, but what I like about it is that it's a good game for my sega cd. The other cool thing about it is the cartoon scenes, which load faster than the ones on my Turbografx CD games, like Cosmic Fantasy 2. Also when you walk into a town, the world map scales in like you are zooming into the town. I decided to buy it because I don't have that many good games for the sega cd, as stated before.

Lunar the Silvar Star that never dies!Review created: 10/05/09

This Classic was so popular it was the only reason people bought the sega cd at the time. It was so good they remade it for ps1 along with the sequal. This is some of the 20th centuries best gaming experiences. If you own a Sega CD you owe it to your self to own this title.

Many of the games for the sega CD are considered by most, pretty bad. After all, this was new technology 20 years ago. This game, however, is worth having if you love RPGs. Sega sticks to the basics when it comes to this game and that is what makes it good. A classic, turned base RPG with a good storyline. Enough said. If you are a classic RPG gamers who loves the Phantasy Star series, then this is for you.

IS THIS GAME GOOD FOR YOU AS A RPG?Review created: 01/04/07

This game is base in the dark ago, where dragons roam the world and heros is still need it. The game is set after the heros has pass alway and who will follow in the heros foot steps. When there is no heros to be found evil is rosing up once again from the darkness in people heart!
When you play this game you could use magie, fight and run. Just like a real RPG. It have anime sence and it talk in the import part of the game or you have to read it.
This game is the frist of the LUNAR serios for sega cd and you could do alot of thicks in this game to win. It is easy or hard depant on how you play and if you use any thicks at all. The thick you will find out when you play this game for sega cd.
The remake of this game had taked the tricks out and it is so hard to win and to get money and other things. But they had add the story on in the remake and it is easy to solve the clue and whos whos the sega cd don't tall you whos whos you need to find out your self. You only could do the tricks On the sega cd!
In a few more years 2 come this game for the sega cd will became ( VERY RARE GAME ON THE SEGA CD) In the out door market this game cost about $100 dollar to buy and it is hard to find any of the game with out a sreatch on the cd it self. If you are luckly to win this game on E BAY around $25 to $50 dollars with light sreatch it very good.
I hope you like this game LUNAR as a RPG because when i play it the frist time i fall in love with the RPG game. I do not like RPG at frist because i have to read and it was no fun at all but i start playing it i start liking the RPG game more and more. Now I try alot of RPG games and it start me on read books.
I think that RPG games help people to get into reading. I got into reading books because of RPG games. And this LUNAR SILVER STAR for sega cd is a good RPG to start for your Kids or you and i will get you into more RPG game or reading books also well!!!
So asked you self is this game is a good RPG for you or not!
it is easy in some way but the story line is very hard to find out whes whos. If you get the remake one for saturn of PS 2 you find out the easy alway by the story line they tell you and it loose it the fun to find out what happen to the person in the past!
IF you love to slove clues get the sega CD luner silver star than if you con't solve the cule buy the saturn or the ps 2 one they tell you flat out in your faces!
Thanks for reading this I hope you like what i type up. I will review more things as the time comes
Thanks again

There was a time in my gaming history where I saw only a bleak future as far as RPGs go. This was during the Playstation, Saturn, and N64 era. The bleakness seems to have been brought on by the trifling disappointment known as Final Fantasy VIII. Most of the RPGs released in this time seemed to be lacking a certain pizazze that you just couldn't explain or describe. This is when I gave a little game known as Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete a try. Within just mere hours the game had total control of me, and quickly became one of my favorites, ever. After this, I sought out the original game,...

Lunar: The Silver Star (Sega CD) Well, amidst my Sega CD collecting craze of early 2004, I snagged up an ex-rental copy of Lunar: The Silver Star. I have previously played Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete for the Playstation and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I figured I would play this game out of respect for a classic. I thought to myself, Well, this is it. I have the RPG that has been praised as groundbreaking for the genre. Did Lunar live up to the hype? Well, kind of. The game centers on the main character, Alex, who wants to become the Legendary Dragonmaster. To do this he must go to the...

Buy this if you can find it, it is beyond a great game. It was released again on the Play Station, but good luck finding it, they are almost equally rare. I can't find words to go the game justice, if you like Final Fantasy you won't be disappointed with this game. The plot line is set way after the first game. It has a love story at the core about an android girl who is beginning to feel emotions for the first time, and all the ups and downs that go with that. Truly a special experience and an excellent role playing title. Even if you hate love stories, there is still enough game play to...
