Hey guys, I'm not requesting a ROM but rather I'm trying to figure out what it is (I'll explain).

There was a game my brother used to play a loooong time ago, and I don't know the name of it. I was going to download the ROM, but I can't download it if I don't know what it is, so maybe some of you could help me.

It was a side-scrolling action RPG, fantasy setting, and maybe had a slight anime influence (could have been a japanese RPG). I remember a boss fight with a large, red, snake-like dragon (a la Zelda: Ocarina Of Time).

Of course, I know that description isn't very precise, but if anyone knows a game vaguely like it, give me a shout and I'll test it out. Thanks for your time!

Well, I checked out the game you posted there, and thank you for responding.

It doesn't look the same as the game I once knew, but the game you showed me still looks bad-ass and now I want to try it out, ha ha ha.

I see how "King Of Dragons" is side-scrolling, but I was thinking in a different sense. If you could compare it to... Mario, the old Zelda NES game, or a modern example being Maplestory. Basically, side-scrolling 2D without the option of sliding up or down on the screen. However, seeing how I don't remember every aspect of the game, I could be wrong on that.

But like I said, I'm totally gonna try "King Of Dragons" simply because it looks cool. And once again, thanks for your time.

Yeah, I doubted that someone would figure out what I was talking about, ha ha ha. There are a lot of SNES games out there, afterall.

However, I played a round of King Of Dragons and it was awesome! Once I figure out how to properly connect with my buddies via ZSNES+Zbattle, I'm gonna be playing it with them for a long time.

Oh, and thanks for the welcome, aoikazemaru. I wouldn't mind contributing a little to these forums, but I'm afraid I only know how to play the ROMs, not find/dump/upload them, heh heh.

And uh... if you know of any other awesome games like King Of Dragons, lemme know : P

EDIT: I believe I've found it. "Ys 3: Wanderers from Ys." I found screenshots, and they look very, very familar. I just have to find the ROM now so I can actually play it. After checking the huge list of SNES games monkey666 posted, I realized that he stopped at the letter P (the whole list is in alphabetical order). Hmm, is that irony?
