The Mega RPG Project was an initive by Sega of Japan to bring more role-playing games to Sega systems. It can be reasonably assumed that it was to counteract the vast library of RPGs for the Super Famicom at the time (although from a genre categorisation perspective, some action RPGs are classed by Sega as "action" games, not RPGs).
The Mega RPG Project began in mid-1994 and applied to a small handful of first-party Sega Mega Drive and Sega Mega-CD until early 1995. This branding was only used in Japan and fell out of use as the company began to focus more on the Sega Saturn - later RPGs such as Light Crusader were not considered part of this movement.
