Best SNES games in my opinion:

Super Metroid
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy IV (Japanese version)
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Zelda III
Street Fighter II Turbo*
Super Tennis
Breath of Fire
Breath of Fire II (Not as good as the original.)
Sim City (The only Sim game on any platform with excellent music. Unfortunately, the game is slow.)
Super Mario World
Super Mario All-Stars (The original NES games are better, though)

*The best fighting game on the SNES, but practically worthless when compared with Tekken 2 on PlayStation.

I've never played Earthbound, so I can't comment on it.

I didn't know so many people liked the game, I tried it, it was

I never liked it. But, I know it's a popular game.

Either EarthBound or Uncharted Waters. gewd stuph

I'm torn between super metroid and link to the past, but I chose link to the past.

All excellent games, however.

You know...just because modern consoles have the bandwidth to crank out 3D environments, doesn't mean all games have to be in 3D. I wish games like the ones on the SNES were still being developed.

NM...I forgot about the GBA

Yep. There is a lot to be said for 2D. I can't stand 3D platformer games like Spyro and Mario 64. I don't like Metroid Prime.

But, I'm not anti-3D. I really liked the game Cybermorph on the Atari Jaguar. I was one of the few who bought a Jaguar when it came out, even though I figured it wouldn't do well in the market because it didn't have a huge company behind it. It was also $300. But, its graphics and sound were far better than the Genesis and SNES. It's unfortunate that the platform got very few decent games, and nothing truly. Cybermorph is very good. Tempest 2000 is very good. Atari Karts is good for kids, although somewhat bland. Alien Vs. Predator is nice if you're into that sort of game. I've heard Rayman is good. But, the system was saddled with a lot of mediocre and awful games. It's unfortunate that its potential wasn't realized. The controllers were really comfortable. They were actually designed for adult hands, unlike the horrible controllers for systems like the GameCube. But, the PlayStation controller is still the only one that's decent for fighting games, and it's more precise than really any other controller. (I don't like analog joysticks, and I use the original PlayStation controller.) The PlayStation controller's directional button gave me blisters, though.

Harvest Moon.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors!

Harvest Moon.

You, sir, have not lived.

You, sir, have died.

I only own and have played three:
Donkey Kong Country
Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart

Out of those three, I've had the most fun with Donkey Kong Country.

Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Earthbound
Mario Kart

Harvest Moon.

It's an anime thing, isn't it? Anything with "moon" in the title seems to invoke "Sailor Moon".

Must be. Cause I don't get it.

No, it's actually a game where you farm. I started to play it, but it too long to get started.

Also the #1 game is Chrono Trigger. I've had the flu for the past 5 days and decided to start playing it again. 25+ hours well spent when all you can do is sit in bed feeling miserable.
