Ever played an action RPG that feels like Zelda but with its own weird charm? Story of Thor (or Beyond Oasis if you're in the US) is one of those hidden Genesis gems. You play as Prince Ali, diving into temples, slashing skeletons with a dagger, and summoning elemental spirits to solve puzzles—like having a water genie freeze enemies or a fire spirit melt barriers.

The combat’s simple but satisfying, and the sprite work still holds up—lush jungles, creepy tombs, all that 16-bit goodness. First time I played, I wasted way too long figuring out which spirit to use where (hint: fire’s your best friend early on). It’s got that "just one more room" vibe, especially when you stumble on a secret passage stuffed with loot.

If you missed this back in the day, it’s aged way better than most Genesis RPGs.
