A really good game

This game was a good overall role-playing game.
Summary-You're a prince called Ali and you have to save your sister from the black armlet. While you're on your way, you encounter all sorts of beasts and monsters. There are all sorts of "bosses" you might say, but they weren't really official.

Graphics-The graphics were pretty good for a 16-bit game system. Sometimes the monsters were pretty cool, but they aren't the best ever. But that's about all.

Sound- The sound, in my opinion, was great. The music would give me chills sometimes when you're walking in a freaky forest or something.

Controls- The moves you could make on this game were great. There were all sorts of tricks you could do and fun little running slashes.

Gameplay- It is extremely hard for you to get sick of this game(unless you're a really heavy gamer). It is a pretty hard game and a few puzzles you have to solve, but its not as hard as some games.

Overall: This game was really fun, but it was pretty redundant and boring sometimes. There are a few parts you wish weren't even part of the game, but it gets pretty exciting sometimes.

I would recommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs, has a Genesis and Doesn't already have Shining Force(s) or Phantasy Star series.

Beyond Oasis -- the definitive Zelda for the Sega Genesis

Barring Landstalker, which later gave rise to the Sega Saturn's Dark Savior, and influenced the EXCELLENT PSX title Alundra, Beyond Oasis is THE definitive Zelda title/action role-playing game on the Sega Genesis. I bought this used about a month or two ago from amazon.com marketplace and am thrilled with the game. Simple but illustrated black and white instruction booklet, along with the same cheap packaging of other late Sega Genesis games cannot hide the fact that a great game series was in the working. Colorful bosses, and challenging puzzles, in addition to a Prince of Persia-meets-Zelda theme give this game real personality, and elevate it head and shoulders over other Zelda-clones on the market. Too bad the game was only followed by one sequel (1996's LEgend of Oasis) before sega stopped producing game machines. All in all, I'm happy to be able to play this one from time to time, and Beyond Oasis is one of the last great Genesis games.

One of the last best Genesis games

Beyond Oasis combined action & adventure elements, hack & slash dynamics, and RPG elements to make this one of the last best games for the Genesis. When I play Beyond Oasis now it kind of reminds me of Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage for the Dreamcast, which is kind of weird considering the time lapse between the games. The graphics are pretty good; the animation runs smooth, some of the smoothest on the Genesis, but the control is rather awkward when trying to pull off some of the special attack moves. There are secrets abound in the game, many of which take a lot of skill to find, but you will find yourself engrossed in Beyond Oasis once you get used to it. If you have a Genesis and like action or RPG's then I strongly suggest looking for Beyond Oasis wherever you can find it. Also recommended are the two best Genesis games on the system; Phantasy Star 2 and Gunstar Heroes.

Overall great game
