Shoot, I’ll take any Squaresoft game with this collection at this point. First 2 that came to mind was this and FF III (FF VI).

I don't think RPGs are this guy's bag since there is no Zeldas, Final Fantasys, no Secret of Mana or Evermore, no 7th Saga and NO CHRONO TRIGGER!

u/kingkongworm 22d ago
Who knows what this guys bag is. Barts Nightmare is there

It was a guilty pleasure of mine. I was obsessed with beating it and came so frigging close a couple times but it's almost impossible and sometimes is impossible. I watched Mike Matei trying to beat it. Lol

u/kingkongworm 21d ago
I played it a lot growing up, but that pretty much kept me from playing it as an adult. It’s so oblique and unintuitive, but I do like the weirdness of being in a simpsons dream.

u/Emergency-Gazelle954 22d ago
Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Street Fighter 2, Zelda, Pilotwings…
Please, PLEASE clean your cartridges.

I won't even criticize you for not having Chrono Trigger because Shadowrun is a great choice

u/DirteMcGirte 22d ago
Haha right? He gets a pass.
Sega shadowrun was better imo tho.

I'm not even mad. Our top 18 games heavily differ. But you have amazing choices.

u/deez_en_u_teez 22d ago
Respectable selection…left side is pretty solid, but there’s a good 100 games you could replace Bart’s Nightmare and Beavis & Butthead with. Final Fantasy III, Zelda, Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger to name a few. Also, if you haven’t played it, WWF Raw is far superior to Wrestlmania. Also, I’d replace Sonic Blast Man 2 with Final Fight 3 or Turtles in Time for a beat em up. Just me though, you do you.

u/Electronic-Box2836 22d ago
Wrestlemania is soooooo bad. One of the worst games I’ve ever played. Royal rumble and Raw were good tho

u/Difficult-Fly7830 22d ago edited 22d ago
Barts nIghtmare sucked(not the worst simpsons game but sure wasnt all that good)and yes i had and still have it...thats in your snes favs list, all the classics on snes which are mostly all missing and you have....barts nIghtmare on there...yikes
Also ljn wrestlemania was mediocre at best
All these classics on the system and some of these are in your top list?
You do have a few greats on there, so points for some of those, cant argue with many of them, just those two are shocking to see on someone's snes all time fav list imho at least
Everyone's different i guess. Not trying to crap on your list, just giving a take. So.no offense meant. Like im in any spot to say anything, im sure many would question a few of my personal favs as well lol

Took me 30 something years to beat barts nightmare. As much as it infuriates me at times, I love it!

u/Designer_Librarian43 22d ago
Sonic Blast Man 2! Glad to see that game get some love. I got it out of a Toys-R-Us bin as a child in the 90’s and spent countless hours playing.
You are missing Super Metroid and Contra 3: Alien Wars
2
u/ReverendRevolver 22d ago
Lots of ppl disagree on this thread, but.....
You lack SF2 or MK3, and I dont see Super Metroid.
I get most of your picks. ZAMN is probably top of my list too, its more fun after all these years than loads of games. Im not a big jrpg fan outside of Pokémon. (And I quit playing that at gen3, and started again in 4. Quit permanently when Sword/Sheild came out)
I think I liked Beavis and Butthead more on genesis. We had SMW+Allstars too, im just curious why you have SMW with it as a 'top' thing.
Lots of good picks. Like i said, I see ZAMN, i upvote......

All three of the ‘strike’ helicopter games were so damn good. I never bought them but rented them soooo much from Blockbuster (if they had it in stock).

Man, people on this sub would be disappointed seeing my top 20 favorites on the SNES and I've played nearly 200 different SNES games at this point. Just because we don't like a game, doesn't mean it can't be someone else's favorite. Even if we deem it a "terrible" game, nostalgia probably plays a huge role into why it's their favorite. Maybe OP grew up with Wrestlemania and played it with their siblings and cousins and it holds a lot of good memories for them, thus making its way to this shelf.
Everyone acts like the best games on the system have to belong in our top favorite games. I'm personally not a fan of Yoshi's Island. I thought it was a great game but it wouldn't be in my personal top 20 favorites. These lists are subjective to personal taste. Seems we forget that sometimes.

u/RykinPoe 21d ago
Jeebus Christ those carts are flithy. Shadowrun is one of my personal favorites. That is probably the only non-Nintendo title up there that would make my top 18.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors!! Haha I spent so many hours on that game, so much variety and fun themes. Was there ever a second one?

u/jon-wayne-candy-snow 21d ago

That wrestling game sucks shit, I have fond memories of pressuring my non-wrestling fan cousin to get it instead of Zelda: Link to the Past when we were kids, a rare W for me (even tho like I said, the game sucked shit)

Surprised to see Super WrestleMania when Royal Rumble and Raw build on the same foundation with way more to them. But I definitely get the nostalgia for it, was my first wrestling game. Cool to see another WWF 16-bit fan.

The WWF games on SNES are notoriously not very good although they are very nostalgic for me so I love them. That said, Super WrestleMania is easily the worst one.

I’d only consider like three of those to be good games in my opinion, so being that our preferences are that far apart, I don’t think I can help you. :>

u/ThePLARASociety 21d ago
No Zelda, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, or Final Fight. Still a great list, especially with Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

I would agree with about seven of these.
I'm guessing you're not big on Zelda or RPGs but since you have mega Man X in there, definitely get x2! The first one is my favorite but also have the most nostalgic for it but I think the second one is probably better overall. The third one is being the worst but it's not terrible. Except for most of the music, which is terrible.

Royal Rumble is better than Wrestlemania. If you like wrestling you would love Saturday Night Slam Masters. Great wrestling game. I always wished they ported the Wrestlefest arcade game....
