Best SNES games

[Prometheus]

What a great title to spend your first post on! (Welcome, by the way.)


Unirally is sadly lesser-known than it deserves to be, partly because of a lawsuit from Pixar, which halted the production of the game. Apparently they thought that they owned the rights to all CGI unicycles - and won. As a result, the game was limited to a production run of only 300,000, and no more.

Oh well, I guess I should consider myself lucky to have had the cart in the first place.

I have one, too. Fantastic game.

Wait, what?! So... If it's a CGI unicycle, it belongs to Pixar 0_o!? Oh crap, I need to go smash my hard drives, I've created CGI coffee mugs, I've seen CGI coffee mugs in Pixar films!!!

Right now I'm hooked on Breath of Fire and planning to play through the whole series! Love the first one!

OMG - How did i not mention Harvest Moon

Probably the game most directly responsible for face-books' farm-ville, Harvest Moon is one seriously addictive game. Based on min/maxing efficiency and taking advantage of certain aspects of game design (while also tuning some of the local ladies), this game is ideal for the perfectionist/OCD within everyone. I think Harvest moon is now on at least 4 platforms.

I can't believe no one mentioned these this game:


Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World: Includes the original Super Mario All-Stars AND an IMPROVED version of Super Mario World (namely, Luigi actually has his own graphics).


Star Fox is great, but a certain other SNES game that has the number "2" in its title is even better. It was supposed to be a sequel to another great SNES game that was released before, but it had quite significant gameplay differences that end up being very fun. Now what is that game I'm thinking of? Hm...

I have never had more blisters on my thumbs than when playing Uniracers.


And I can add NHL 94. I don't think I've played any simulation sports game more since that game.

[PeeZapp]

My list of ones that i thought were really good but haven't been said include


Bubsy - kind of the answer to sonic on the snes


Lost vikings - Puzzle Platform game on genesis too but worked way better on snes (shoulder Buttons What up)


Fifa 95 I think the one with 5 a side


Cannon Fodder - Army game haven't tried it on the pandora yet but used to love it


Earthworm Jim - was an awesome cow launching platformer


The NHL games - Mostly because you could throw down in them isn't that the reason American's & Canadians like hockey


Shaq Fu - Jokes that game sucks worse than a dyson


Super Punch out - C'mon gotta love this game


Zero the Kamakaze Squirrel - was a pretty cool platformer from what I remember have't played since I was a kid(I spent some pocket money on hiring this one out)

Ah, of course! Now I remember! It was right in my face, too! I mentioned the game that came before it right before I brought up the game I was talking about!


Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Yup, the game I was thinking of was Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and NOT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pda2jBcUBWg, which I've never played in my life as it's impossible to play that game legally, having never had an official release. It's illegal to download Star Fox 2 and you should NOT search the internet for ROM images and then apply this patch to it in order to have a fully playable version in English.

Wow, I will certainly be playing that game soon. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, that is.

^ There are some competition carts that sell for tens of thousands. (because you could count the number produced on one hand). I've forgotten what the most expensive one was, though.

 

[ZXDunny]

Does anyone know of any really rare titles?

The Rarest cart I know is Donkey Kong Country 2. It is an excellent example of a Rare game.


D.

 

[milkshake]

for my snes I had killer instinct, donkey kong country 1 and 3 they were my RARE games, dont know how "rare" they are now though.


I only have 2 "actual" snes games to my name right now they are:


zelda: a link to the past


super probotector (contr3 but with robots)


both boxed and complete in great condition.


I will try to add more to my collection by the end of the year.

I've found what would have to be the rarest SNES game (assuming that the website is correct) simply because there is only one in existence -several more were made, but all others were destroyed here.


As for the rarest retail game, I have no idea.

HA! i also had international superstar soccer deluxe

Metal Marines is one of my favorite mech games of all times.
