The (SRPG) Langrisser series certainly qualifies even if only the first game received a proper localisation as Warsong on the Mega Drive. By rights it should be up there with Phantasy Star 1-4 and Shining Force.
Also I'd say 8bit home computer games are a rather unknown quantity on the net (that tends to focus on the NES) especially those on UK home computers like the Spectrum that spawned the whole 8bit UK bedroom indie boom creating such action adventure classics as Lords of Midnight, Mercenary, Great Escape, The Sentenel and Where Time Stood Still besides Elite that is known.
The 8/16bit Lucas Arts puzzle platformer Night Shift is another one to thrown on the pile.
