so I finally decided to hook my saturn back up on a more permanent basis (its been years since I play dreamcast 110% of the time

)
so now I'm looking for a list of hack n slash games on the system (I prefer side scrolling, but rpg-ish stuff a la Legend Of Oasis will also do fine)
I also finally picked up a saturn rgb scartlead today, so I'm hoping its gonna look at least half decent on my hdtv

Mayu,
I can't say that I know of any good hack and slashers, however, may I interest you in Shockwave Assault. (If you don't have it) It's a pretty good game, story-wise for a FPS.

Shining Wisdom? I don't play RPGs much, don't even know what technical terms like "hack and slash" mean. It's probably something really obvious, like your character having a sword, isn't it?

indeed, anything from Golden Axe to Diabolo is considered hack 'n slash

Hack & Slash = Button bashing, games like Devil May Cry & Ninja Gaiden.
Loot Driven = Diablo
Side Scrolling Beat em up = Golden Axe
From what I understand

true, however; all 3 are button bashers when it comes to battle & therefor hack n slash
I like the term "loot driven"

Well if you want a recommendation for a button masher, then Batman Forever is a fun game. Cheap and quite entertaining in a brainless way, especially in 2 player.
