Video Games
Hello all. I'm gonna jump right in, go out on a limb and say it: The SNES era is the pinnacle of gaming. I've loved no other console, before or since, like I loved my SNES. While my peers were doing what teenagers are supposed to do, I was locked away in my bedroom having the time of my life (insert masturbation joke here.) While they were dating, I was throwing the Foot at Shredder in TMNT: Turtles In Time. While they were learning how to drive, I was learning how to beat Goldie in Unirally (or Uniracers, as it was known outside Australia.) And while they were flipping burgers for minimum wage at McDonald's, I was raking in the big bucks in Sim City.
Of course, gaming progressed, and I with it, buying the original PlayStation, then it's younger brother, before moving on to the Xbox 360. But my love for the SNES never abated, and thanks to the wonders of emulation, I was able to not only relive my favorite gaming moments, (FYI,, my favorite SNES game, which is also my favorite game of all time, is Secret of Evermore.) but because we didn't have a lot of money when I was a kid, I was also able to play all the games I'd read about but could never afford.
Anyway, the purpose of this post is to ask for some recommendations. I've played through pretty much every game I wanted to, so I'm asking you to let me know of any relatively obscure SNES games that are worth checking out. I've done pretty much all the RPG's, and every available scrolling beat 'em up, so I'm looking for games that are 'pick up & play', i.e no obscure Japan-only titles, just games that are good, old fashioned fun. I'm interested to see what you guys can come up with, and if you'd like me to, I'll write a review of each of the titles I pick based on your recommendations, so let me know what I should be playing in the comments.
