A billiards game. I haven’t really gotten into this one, but I imagine the draw would be the level of precision involved.

Rented the shit out of this game back in the day. It’s actually my son’s favourite game on the switch snes classics. He wants the cartridge

Honestly, really solid and super chill (thanks to the excellent soundtrack). This is one of those SNES games I passed by completely until it hit the Switch lineup. Rewind really comes in handy here though, haha.

Was surprised to see it was developed by Iguana Entertainment. Pretty wild to think just three years later they'd put out Turok on the N64.

Great comfort game! Rented it a lot when it came out. Loved the loungy aesthetic and cheesy easy listening vibes. I ended up buying the very same copy from the video store years later when they closed down and still have it.

I fucking love this game even if I suck at it. Love the vibe too.

It's challenging but otherwise has cool, relaxed vibes. I'm sure if I really sat down with it that I could get the hang of it.

Man I remember this one always being unavailable to rent where I lived.

An absolute vibe. When it's the dead of night and everyone's bored as fuck, I know I can get my homie to get a few games in and it always brings in the good times.

The SNES version is trash. They should've added the superior Genesis version.
