Still a little too cartoon-like for my taste, and kind of difficult for me as well.  I've never beaten it, but I do intend to revisit it eventually.

TFH!!!!!!  (Too F'n Hard)!!  Both releases!

I first played this on the Genesis. 
I can't get any further than the third or fourth stage for any version.

I still prefer Raiden II.

Final Fantasy Legend (Saga) 1 and 2 on GB were nice.  The third one had it's problems, though.  Final Fantasy Adventure was good too, and actually has been colorized, among other things.  The FFL 1 port for the Wonderswan Color has been translated, and is a nice upgrade to the original.

I'm still not finished up, but I'm close (heading to tiny town).  Such a fun and cute game.

For less stat heavy RPGs, I'm sure Ys was the first for Turbo, seeing as it came with the Duo.  As a young robot of limited means, I didn't have a ton of games early on, but eventually added Ys 3, Dragon Slayer, Order of the Griffon, Theron's Quest, and the aforementioned M&M3.

Prior to the Duo, it would've been the Final Fantasy games on GB.

After I spent eons with the HuCard version the extra sound effects of the Super CD version was very cool.

Super Raiden

Shooter Time! A good one as well. Super Raiden! It's a really good arcade conversion that is quite a bit better than the HuCard. Raiden is one of those shooters like R-Type or Gradius. Everyone knows about them and everyone plays them. Super Raiden has really nice cd tunes and some extra levels not in the HuCard version. Also, the sound effects are a little nicer. Not sure if I will 1cc this but I will try. I can come close, but it's been a while. Hope you all will be able to play this one this month. Enjoy!

  MM3 was long and tough, especially if played hardcore style!  I think the graphics actually look better on the Turbo than in the original PC version!!

  How about action RPGs, then, like Ys, Daggerfall, Fallout 3, or even Diablo?  As long as there's enough of both stat progression and NPC interaction, it will count.

I don't know for certain what would've been my first, but I've never been a fan of trying to wrangle a bunch of stats.  Might and Magic 3 on Turbob was likely the first game that I put much time into, though I never finished it.
