Best Snes Games

BizzyC

Simple Question.

What do you think were the best games on the snes.

My two favourites were;

Super Metroid, great game!

The Legend of Zelda, by far the best!

Mr E

Apart from the 2 you mentioned (obvious classics) I adored the Donkey Kong Country games.... Super Castlevania, Mickeys Magical Quest and Super Ghouls and Ghosts were great platformers too.

I'd also have to say Chrono Trigger as it's one of my favourite games of all time.

Forgot about secret of mana. It bloody brilliant.

Terranigma. Probably my favourite game of the 8bit and 16bit era and all too often overlooked because it was released at the end of the SNES' life and never made it to America. It's still the best RPG I've ever played - just edging out FFVII and technically stunning too.

Zapp Brannigan

ah yes Terranigma, i never played it on the SNES but i do have it on rom and its a great game.

BizzyC

PLOK! I forgot about that game,it was deadly.

I thought I was the only one who had it!

Lord Oz

Earthworm jim 1 and 2 - greatest platformers ever.

deadduck

mario kart, no question

grimloch

Yoshi's Island lads, no question.

[edit] meant to say super mario world I think, not too sure which one is which.[/edit]

Havent seen Sensible Soccer mentioned yet, another classc, it was one of the first soccer games out, highly addictive & plenty of scraps with the brother after last minute winners. Ah the memories :-)

Rock n' Roll Racing

Well said Retrogamer, Id pay a princely sum to be able to get my hands on a SNES and this game. Loved it. Rented it everyday for 3 months from my local Movie Magic when I was 13, then they stopped stocking it

Had a great soundtrack too, and good graphics from what I remember

You should just try emulation.
