| | Shining Force: Classic Gaming - The Armchair Empire |
 | | A year or so later, I was flipping through one of my game magazines, and noticed a new game called Shining Force, and it was apparently going to take place in roughly the same world as Shining in the Darkness, except it would be on a different continent. |
 | | The game was going in a different direction, deep-sixing the first person perspective in exchange for an overhead view, and the combat would be more akin to a strategy game, as characters took turns moving around the battlefield. |
 | | The day I learned that Shining Force was going to be making its way across the Pacific, I got on the phone and called Encore Video, the shop I usually bought my games from (boy do I miss the days when small, privately owned game shops were everywhere). |
