It's been nearly 20 years since the first Final Fantasy, but it seems the fan base is still strong. Epic Battle Fantasy shows this well with its high ratings on Newgrounds.

Epic Battle Fantasy has a very simple storyline. Taking place after the events of the first game, the world has become filled with mutated creatures and entities that the characters must fight. Meanwhile, the humans have gained the ability to use magical abilities and spells. You take the control of two primary, unnamed characters.

The gameplay mimics that of the Final Fantasy games. Players can attack, use special abilities, spells, and items. The only difference is that of the characters, storyline, and revamped graphics. If you're a fan of cartoon graphics wielding swords bigger than themselves, then this may be one of your favorites. There is little to dislike about this game unless you don't like Final Fantasy style RPGs, or jokes the characters may say during battle.

There are also minigames for one to enjoy in between the main gameplay. Be sure to try it out!

Even older than Final Fantasy, and more famous, perhaps is the Mario series. Everyone's favorite red plumber is back, but this time without the golden seal of approval. Though this fan based game may not be of Nintendo origin, it sure has the quality of one of the great originals.

The graphics, unlike the standard 8 bit style, has the cartoonish remix similar to that of Yoshi's Island for the Nintendo DS. It's a great game to pass the time, and its save system ensures you can come back as much as you need and continue on. It's all the Mario without the cost!

The gameplay carries everything you'd think that could be missed. The triple jump, pounder, and even spinning actions are all capable. It's an all-in-one hit for any Mario addict who's looking for more.
