What's your favorite snes game?

Very tough question, as there is sooo much good and diverse stuff out there.

For overall quality and versatility, I'd say Parodius. Your life isn't complete if you have never experienced it.

Congrats, you've found the only game so far that I don't have on here.

This library is so immense I assumed it was every SNES game, but you've proven otherwise.

Edited

Parodius is very worth tracking down if you like side-scrolling space shooters, quirky Japanese humour and overall great games. And yes, it is a bit obscure.

FF games are good but my favourite is Starfox, closely followed by the Super Star Wars games. They're hard as shit but they got the controls spot on. Super Castlevania IV is also great for the same reason.

man thats hard, i have 1 ones in genres. I guess if i had to choose only one, it would be FF3

I never played FF growing up. But I know I tried like 4 or 7 a few years ago when I initially got this old fucker crackered. I gave up after a few hours when I got lost and grew tired of wandering/grinding.

I'll check to see which ones I have and if that save state is still there.

The game is so good, it had to be listed twice?

I was always find of Super Ghouls and Ghosts. I didn't have it, but my friend did.

After that, probably Donkey Kong Country. The sequels were good too and all were fun to play with 2 players.

Have you ever finished SG&G? I never have, not even later with save stats. That game puts the Hard back into the Nintendo Hard.

[–] E-werd 0 points (+0|-0)

Never. Especially given that you have to beat it twice in order to beat it. Fuck that... still fun, though. I've watched play-throughs, it doesn't really help you.

Had to check it was for SNES, as I didn't play the original release, only re-releases.

Chrono Trigger.

It remains one of the best RPGs ever made, in my estimation. Great graphics, music and sound is truly excellent, interesting "tech" system that lets you combine the skills of different characters for more powerful effects, a battle system where you had to take positioning into account at times, along with an interesting story that forces you to travel to many different time periods in the world to figure out the truth.

I still think it's the best J-RPG I've ever played. And I loved Final Fantasy X, but I think in terms of quality CT just barely edges it out. Bonus points for the extra content in later releases, particularly the DS version, which included the cutscenes included in the PS1 port, as well as extra side-quests and a new boss you can fight that gives a different ending to try and tie together Trigger and the sequel, Chrono Cross, a little bit more.

I never played Trigger, but I loved the shit out of Chrono Cross. I should probably play Trigger some day

Super Mario World

Either Earthbound or Mystic Quest. I always enjoyed Final Fight, Ren & Stimpy, and Beavis & Butthead too even if the last 2 were novelty games.

[–] PhunkyPlatypus [OP] 1 points (+1|-0)

I'll take a look for the first two. I tried briefly playing beavis and butt head, but quickly grew bored of dying from skateboarders.
