[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 3517769, member: 22882"] If you're interested in the [I]genre[/I], rather than just the [I]name[/I], you really should look into a console. Turn-based tactics games with RPG elements comprise a staple, if niche, genre for all the Playstation line and the Nintendo portables. You definitely wouldn't be getting just one game in this genre on any of those systems. A Playstation 2 would give you access to about two dozen turn-based tactical games with varying degrees of RPG elements (and of course, varying degrees of quality ;) ) between PS1 and PS2 games. A GBA would give you access to at least eight that I know of, and I freely admit I'm not familiar with the whole GBA lineup; I've only played a few, and those on a Game Boy player because I can't see the screen well. ;) A DS or a PSP, not so many because they're younger systems. As with any portable that doesn't have a console player yet, I don't know the numbers very well. I do know there's an enhanced port of Final Fantasy Tactics coming to the PSP, so that and D&D Tactics make at least two turn-based tactical games. And to an earlier poster, no, portables are not considered consoles. The two are very much separate markets (Sony, for example, was said to 'dominate the console industry for two generations' while Nintendo's GameBoy and its kin remained competitive with or more successful than the PS1 and PS2). A console is a game machine that hooks up to your TV. [/QUOTE]
