Really limiting your options there. Retro game prices are fucking retarded currently, however Illusion of Gaia is great and somehow not that high yet last I checked. Its more of an action RPG though.

Illusian of Gaia was one I was looking at. Is Illusion of Time any good? (I think that's the name)

>>343695740
Never even heard of it but I shall look into it

I think Time is just the French localization.

Ultma VI is a good game, but an inferior port of the PC version.

Ultima: Runes of Virtue is a retarded spin-off game, made for consolefags because the publisher thought that consolefags couldn't handle a real Ultima game. The Gameboy version is superior to the SNES version if you must play it.

Also, just emulate Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger.

Earthbound
Super Mario RPG, which has button timing combat (contextual?)
Secret of Mana is good solo, just a fun if you can get a buddy to play
Secret of Evermore is pretty good

Mana and Evermore aren't related, right?
