I was looking for some recommendations of games I missed when I was in the military. I've looked through the old games recently and noticed I missed some real gems, like FFVII and Golden EYE. I mainly looking for games for the PS1 and PS2, or even some good PC games from the years 97-02. I'm an RPG nut when I have time, but in the early years I was addicted to shooters for the Genesis/MegaDrive and the SNES. Does not matter what kind of game as long as you think it is good, thanks all who reply.

Nice list, Alundra looks like a fun game but, does it have a story? I love the Ratchet games, I have both for the PS3 and I played Grandia 2 on the Dreamcast while in the military.

The military?! You have earned my instant respect. Metal Gear Solid is awesome for the PS1. Chrono Trigger, FFVI and a bunch others are good RPGs. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance, but I wasn't a big RPG person of that era.

Alundra is a decent game but be sure to keep a walkthrough ready. Some of the puzzles are really difficult. Story is fine. Atleast to me lol.If you still have a Dreamcast I'd recommend you look for Shenmue 1 and 2 and Skies Of Arcadia (RPG). Some of the best on the DC.

Oh and I tried checking your profile as to whether you own some games like Metal Gear Solid, but its put on private. So in case you don't have games like Metal Gear Solid (PS1) , Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 (PS2), you should really get them ASAP.

If you still own a Gameboy Advance, I'd highly recommend Advance Wars 1 and 2, and Golden Sun 1 & 2 (RPGs) and also some of the Pokemon games (series may be childish but the Pokemon games are solid RPGs.)

Also, Military? That's awesome! :)

Shogo: Mobile Armor Division is a good PC game that was really overlooked:

Hundred Swords is a good Japanese RTS developed by Smilebit (developers of Jet Set Radio and Panzer Dragoon series) that was ported from the Dreamcast and was only localized for PC:

FFX, Persona 4, Persona 3, Shadow Hearts Covenant, Disgaea, Shadow Hearts, Xenosaga (you gotta play the whole series so I'll group them together), Dark Cloud 2, Suikoden III, Suikoden V, Rogue Galaxy, Dark Cloud

Also, I've never played Odin Sphere or Atelier Iris but I've heard from many people they are good.

Wow, I didn't expect this kind of response :o. You guys/gals have given me allot of great recomendations, many of which I have already ordered. Now I just need to find the time to play all these games. Guess I was right about missing some great games. I just wish more games like the Sega Classics Collection (30 freakin' games for 18$) would be realeased. Now I have to compile the rest of this list. Thanks for the feedback.

I actually picked-up this great little gem for the PS2, and it came with Final Fantasy 4..I believe. I love those compilation games, they save you so much money. If only Sega would make a RPG compilation, or better yet, make a decent non mmo P.S. game.
