Another influential early tactical RPG was Sega's "Shining Force" for the Sega Genesis, which was released in 1992. "Shining Force" used even more console RPG elements than earlier games, allowing the player to walk around towns and talk to people and buy weapons. It spawned sequels, "Shining Force II" for Sega Genesis and "Shining Force CD" for Sega CD, besides the Shining Force Gaiden 1, 2 and 3 for Sega Game Gear and Shining Force III for Sega Saturn. The game's creator, Camelot Software Planning's Hiroyuki Takahashi, cited Kure Software Koubou's 1988 tactical RPG, "Silver Ghost", as his inspiration. One game released solely in Japan for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), "Bahamut Lagoon", began Square's (now Square Enix) famous line of tactical RPGs.
