    Talking Video games with archers/ bow and arrows?

    http://ofadam.com/macroidtoe/archives/22
    these are the ones I know of so far.
    and Shining Soul II for gba which probably doesn't count as retro at all.

    These are all I know of, add any you know of.

    Mainly looking for beat'em up or platforming games, though all are welcome. any game where I can shoot enemies with arrows...

    There's like a million of them. Final Fantasy 2, 3, 4, 5, Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Ogre Battle, Fire Emblem, etc.

    In before the lock. Because this thread is just like the "Video games with bananas," "Video games with Frogs," etc threads.

    Yeah, tons of these. All Gauntlet games. Avenger games. Lord of the Ring games.... I could keep going, there are so many, maybe it needs it's own sub-genre in fantasy games.

    An archetype in RPG games is the Ranger/Archer class. Almost any RPG with classical genre ties fits the description.

    Kira and Diego from Vandal-Hearts were badass. Amon and Darius were cool but had less charm.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    ^_^. Vandal Hearts is awesome. I actually change Kira and Darius into Hawk Knights though.
