Figured I would drop my 2 cents here as well. My favorite Game is Shenmue. It's a Japanese Open-World Action-Adventure where the protaganist's family is killed by Chinese "gangsters" and he travels 1980's Japan trying to solve his family's murder. In facet, I am still waiting on Shenmue 3 to be produced so that I can continue my journey lol.

My 2nd Favorite is ZERO GUNNER 2

This is another Japanese import. It's an airplane style shooter with intense graphics and rapid gameplay.

I still play both of these to this day with my Dream Cast Emulator
