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.

Super Mario World/Kart, Donkey Kong games, F Zero, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Legend of Zelda. There are loads.

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

petes

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]

rainbow kirby

Super Metroid
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

What's that? Street for Plok or something, right?

[/off to try out this Super Aleste thanks to dyslexic uncle TOM

Retr0gamer

And play Axelay while your at it, the best shmup of the 16-bit era imo.

Creamy Goodness

Unirally and Act Raiser haven't been mentioned yet, have they? I'll do that now.

Oh, and did anyone else only buy Plok because Smyth's had it for a tenner? One of the best surprises of my childhood, that game.

Retr0gamer

Few more I forgot to mention:

Pilotwings
Firemen
super mario RPG
Super Turrican games
Adventures of Batman and Robin
Tiny toons
UN Squadron

BizzyC

FF6, now that was a game.

Anyone else play Super Baseball 2020, I think it was called, where you had some teams of robots?

Mario Kart wins: No contest, it was awesome.

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.

monkeyfudge

Also.. did they do a conversion of Rock n' Roll Racing for the GBA?

Retr0gamer

I think they did. SNES version however is the definitive version thanks the the gorgeous Sony sound chip in the SNES.

petes

Jesus there are loads more here mentioned that I had forgot about. Super Turrican. Class. Super Tennis. Yes please. Actually there was a great shooter UN Squadron. Very good omo. And tough as nails.

Desert Strike????
Was that the one with the black hawk in Iraq?

dearg_doom

Today I'm gonna say STARWING.

The first (and so far best) 3-d interpretation of a shump, this game was class.

It was the first and last time I ever got worked up about polygons! THE SHIP WAS IN THREE-D!!! I think I had a cheshire cat grin for the whole first time I played through it:)

AH-64 Apache... great game too tho, a rare slice of innovation from EA

Another great game (but largely unknown, I think) was Shadowrun, a futuristic RPG, where you played as a guy who was trying to figure out his memories.

Great game..also, Donkey Kong Country was class!

Can you get Rock and Roll Racing Snes emulators? interesting. ill get on that case.

also, does anyone know what the hidden surprise was in Super Tennis when you completed the season and won the grand slam? i never managed it myself, being 13 and crap at the French Open.

Retr0gamer

Get yourself Zsnes, the best SNES emulator. Can't tell you where to get the rom. It's against charter regulations.

Draupnir

no worries mate, I just looked it up there a minute ago and found out that my cousin has a copy and i can download it from his personal webspace later.

ill check out zSnes so. listen cheers for the reminder retrogamer, i could be up all nite playing this if its as good as I remember.

although, Halo 2 Live might drag me away to snipe.

Draupnir

got it, and its whopper. i love this game.

Giblet

Doom

Earthbound and Yoshi's Island were my favourite snes games, playing through both of them recently actually. Yoshi's island is still one of my favourite games and I still get a chuckle out of running into those big fluffy white things.

CiDeRmAn

Loved Batman Returns, Super Metroid and Super Mario World. But the best was Sim City, probably the most enjoyable version of the franchise yet! Especially when Bowser tries to stomp the city, good days!
