For the record, this is the old games thread.

Nay, tis the SNES/NES game suggestion thread.

[jared]

So, I'm planning on getting a SNES soonish. Probably this one, which is a SNES/NES hybrid:



I've always had a NES, but the SNES is something I never grew up with. I don't regret being a Sega kid, but I do regret not owning the SNES, which is home to a lot of my favourite games that I only managed to play on emulators later in my life. But now I'm bitch-slapping emulators in the face and getting the real thing.

See, there's having a digital copy of a game...but then there's having something you can look at on your shelf and say "THAT'S MINE" whilst pounding your chest and doing an interpretive dance. I consider this the start of my retro collection, which will be a collection of most things retro-game related. It's something I wanted to do for a while, but I never managed to get around to it.

So, for this first step into my retro collection, what SNES and NES games do you suggest I get? I already have some for NES (I'll have to clean those hookers off though), and know a lot of SNES titles. But I'm sure I'll see some that are unfamiliar to me, or some that I forgot about. I'd like to hear about ones that are great but not well-known, as well as the more known ones.

You know you can plat NES games on the SNES right?

Erm. No. You can't. Cartriges are completely different.

[Yutrzenika]

Yeah, they wouldn't have made a console that can play both of them if the original already could.

For some reason, my XBox 360 game CD won't fit properly into my Game Boy Advance port. Halp?

I have the same problem with my Amiga.

Maniac Mansion (A must if you like puzzle games )

Not to mention the humor. Though, I wasn't really laughing when I realized that I had inadvertently gotten Razor tentacle-raped to death.

Yes. This happened.

[Log!]

Maniac Mansion is one you'll want to get for the PC, nintendo kinda messed with it.

[TeeZee]

Just download Maniac Mansion Deluxe. It's freeware and looks tons better anyway.

I'm playing it now ^^ I'm not letting Razor near Green Tentacle anymore though...

SNES
Doom Troopers - For old school M rated fun
Monopoly - Awesome party game, no cheating bankers!
Nobonaga's (sp?) Revenge - Old school strategy RTS in feudal Japan
King of the Monsters 2 - what Godzilla games should have been

BTW, I know it's already been said, but Kirby Superstars: 8 Games in One is outstanding and Super Mario RPG is ineffable (which I thank the Nintendo gods that I still own)

NES
Super Dodge Ball - the only game you'll ever need, just came out in the Wii Arcade I believe
Serpents and Sorcerers - REAL old school dungeon crawling with location based damage and spells!
Battletoads - soo hard
Spy Hunter - gadgets, shooting, and driving
Fatal Final Fight - kinda like chibi final fight but still epic

Oh gosh... nostalgia...
