- The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road (DS)
Inspired by a couple threads on Ree-Era, I decided to play this game. It's very mid. I have nothing much to say about it. I finished it.
- Monster Tale (DS)
A nice looking 2D metroidvania-ish game. Gameplay wasnt that exciting, and theres a lot of back and forth to progress to the point of annoyance. It's by the same people who made Henry Hatsworth on DS.
- Ancient Roman: Power of Dark Side (PS1)
This game was recently translated, and it is considered one of the worst JRPGs, at least on PS1. Maybe period? In any case, it really is bad, theres no "the internet is wrong!" about this. But thankfully it's pretty short - I finished it in about 20 hours. The game is completely broken, in many areas. You can buy a simple weapon (Sleep Axe) which literally puts anything to sleep and prevents them from attacking. Even the final boss!
It also has the coolest death animation I've seen in a game

My first Saturn RPG, and I picked this one. It's a pretty simple SRPG like Shining Force. You get a set cast of characters, and you traverse a simple world map and fight some battles, which recruit a few more characters for story reasons. From here you basically pick your favorite 5/6 and stick with them. I enjoyed this. It took maybe 20 hours to finish, it's not a long game either.

A simple game where you play as a shark and eat shit. It's very simple but chill game with cute humor. It's on GamePass
