Must play SNES games?
« on: August 06, 2015, 12:34:11 PM »
I'm starting to build a collection of SNES games, right now I only have a few.

What Would you guys say is a game that I have to try? 

Got extra games you want to sell...or donate?  :P

Thanks, Phil.

Super Metroid is definitely my favorites SNES game and one of the best games of all time. It always scores towards the top of the 'Best 100' lists with good reasons. This game along with the PS1's Castlevania: SOTN took the whole exploration / platform genre to new levels.

Super Star Wars / Empire Strikes Back / Return of the Jedi - This games are stupid unfair at points but the graphics, sound and mode 7 scaling effects were really cool at the time. This is one of the games that really showed up the Genesis.

There's tons of others. Of course there's Super Mario World and the original Mario Kart, plus a host of other 1st party Mario games that are worth playing. Tons of good arcade ports and things like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV.

I was always a Genesis guy first but the SNES has a bunch of great stuff.

I don't know why I didn't think about Link to the Past, also one of the best Zelda games.

OK...Here's a quick update.

I got a Zombies Ate My Neighbors....Cool game.  I'm enjoying it.
I Bought a Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 on ebay for $15.00 each shipped.  I'm waiting for them to get here.
Now I'll be on the hunt for a Super Metroid.

Thanks for all the advice and please keep them coming.

EWJ is one of my Favorite series Ever! I had them on Genesis, so my brain doesn't even equate them for SNES!

Some others:

TMNT - Turtles in Time, Final Fight (Any), Captain Commando, (RPGs - Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, FF6, Breath of Fire, Secret of Mana, etc.... too many RPGs on here), Any of the Donkey Kong Country Games!

Yeah Earthworm Jim always reminds me of the Genesis more than the SNES for some reason.

The Sega CD version is the best for the original game, extra levels and better music.

You can find cheaper games on average at racketboy.

Not familiar with "Racketboy", looked on racketboy.com but just got:

Sorry, the Racketboy store has been shut down.

I've bought stuff on their forums for as little as a dollar per game. usually spend 3-5 on average per title. Personally i collect for the sake of having them and buy from stuff in lots. Games on the list in this thread will obvious garner a premium but you can still find them all the time there.

I agree with the above.

Also check out:
Super Ghouls and Ghosts
Stunt Race FX
Super R-Type
Act Raiser
F Zero

Stunt Race FX can be had for really cheap and it's quite a fun game in my opinion.
