mmertes Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 This was a fun video to put together, though it was a bit time consuming. I was re-organizing my games this weekend and I thought it would be fun to choose my top 5 boxed SNES games from my library. It recalled a lot of fun memories as I went through them: If you had to put together a top 5 of your boxed or loose SNES games in your library, what games would be in the list? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Fox is a title that made me really made appreciate technology for what we had to offer in the early 90's. Such a great game that really made me think as a boy what other possibilities can we do with video games in the future. We were in for a wild ride that's for sure. Thank you as always Mike. Keep up the great work as always bro. Anthony... Edited December 5, 2016 by fdurso224 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Refreshing to see/hear such a nice and calm video game reviewer for a change! The SNES was a big part of my gaming life as a young adult in the early 90's and sometimes miss not having one today. Top 5 games for me might look something like this: Act Raiser Castlevania IV Contra III NBA Jam (best, most playable version of them all IMO) Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts Really want to place Chrono Trigger and FFIII up there, but when thinking replayability (which they sort of still do for RPG's, they're that friggin' good), have to give the nod to the others I'd still want to play. Might get bored trying to play an RPG today. Yeah, pretty sure of it. Military Strategy games I can still do, but RPG's not so much. Would rather listen to their soundtracks on the HiFi. Honorable mentions off the top of my head and used to play the living shit out of, include these: Super Mario IV Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball MLBPA Baseball or Super Bases Loaded (forget which now) Rampart Pilot Wings Super R-Type Axelay Gradius III Populous (though I played a lot on the Amiga, still liked this version) Super Smash TV Super Tennis Joe and Mac TMNT: IV Final Fight Mortal Kombat II Side Pocket Super Pinball Behind The Mask Street Fighter II Turbo (excellent BITD but today, I prefer playing the PCE version) U.N. Squadron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squadron Thank you! I always try to keep a calm demeanor in my videos as its what I prefer to watch as well. Too many angry people out there. Just a few thoughts on your top 5: Actraiser - What a great game! I loved the different elements the game provided. Both the simulation and action elements were fun and didn't seem like a chore. Fantastic music too. Castlevania 4: I'm a huge Castlevania fan and just revisited 4 a few weeks ago. Challenging levels, great control and a soundtrack you could never forget. Contra 3: I will never ever forget hearing the baseline from the first stage pumping out of a Super Nintendo display kiosk at Venture. This was one my little brother and I spent a ton of time playing together. NBA Jam: My brother and I were both huge Bulls fans when the original NBA Jam came out and we played it like crazy. We'd often interject the commentary from the game into our real life street court games. Wish we had a 4 player adapter back then to play it! Super Ghouls N Ghosts: I love the series, but now that I think about it I don't think I've ever really finished a game in this series! I may have to fix that before the end of the year! Some great choices you've made for the honorable mentions too. I've had a great time with most of the ones you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Charlie Cat Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thanks for always watching man! You're welcome bro. Can't wait to see more on what you do best. Maybe thinking of doing a holiday special for Christmas and New Years? Anthony... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
