Three "Lost" Shining Force Games Have Been Preserved | Time Extension (www.timeextension.com)

Ports of Shining Force Chronicle I, II, and III have been preserved by fans.

The original games were based on the Game Gear series Shining Force Gaiden titles released in Japan for mobile devices like Keitai phones before being ported to Android. They were available through the PuyoSega subscription service but are in Japanese, but were subsequently removed.

Thankfullly, Yeetdom101 has been able to recover the APK files and the games have now been preserved.

These games represent an important step in preserving Shining Force history, especially considering that Sega no longer supports these games officially.

What are your memories of the originals on the Game Gear? Have you played these mobile versions?

The Android versions could only be obtained through the PuyoSega subscription service.

Oh so Sega ran an Android App Store? Japan is wild, so much went on over there that I never hear about!
