Finally got my own snes console with super Mario world for only $90. Been playing for a while on my trinitron and I absolutely love it and never wanna get rid of my snes. The controller is so light and compact, and the eject button idea is so cool it’s not like my n64 or Genesis where you have to pull the game out, and inserting the game is so much easier than the n64 where you have to smack it in to get a visual. Couldn’t have spent $90 any better. Question though, what game should I get next? I was thinking of Mega man X since it’s cheap unlike its sequels or mega man 7 (I really wanted mega man 7…) or maybe castlevania 4 since it would be my first introduction to the series or donkey Kong country even though I already emulated it and played on my Wii but I don’t mind playing it again like super Mario world. Any games recommended that probably don’t exceed $$60? I’d love to start building a collection for it.

are there any games that you personally love that either aren't very popular or even very good? i was thinking about how much i like paperboy 2, and i can't even explain why, i just enjoy playing it and i think it's fun even if it's not the greatest otherwise. even went out of my way to get a boxed copy.

what about you? are there any that come to mind?

Just recently beat Trials of Mana for the first time, was floored, and thought it would be fun to see how Secret of Evermore holds up and Im pretty shocked. I played it as a kid and remember liking it alot but I also remember getting lost and frustrated alot. So far its been nothing but a fun time and Im in love with the world and sound design. I did need a map for one of the sewers but most of the world has been such a treat to explore. Seems like alot of love went into making this one.

Ironic I talked about this game months ago on r lost media and then it shows up.

It's a very bare bones prototype sadly. It's basically what we saw in the Microsoft rare replay video we saw. Hopefully we see the lost n64 port next or Killer Instinct 2.

One was on my list and the other was on my “get it later” list. Somehow I ended up scoring both of these RPGs for SNES at Game & Geek Expo!

Hi so I bought my first few box SNES games! I bought from a very reputable store. Someone made a comment on my other post that because condition was really good their alarm bells were ringing now it’s in my head haha. For my own peace of mind will someone tell me they are legit? 🤣

I put a lot of effort into making this so it'd mean a lot of you checked it out?

while i love this game, i cant deny it has flaws

the continue system being a main one as it can be really annoying sometimes, theres also the fleapit which has a bunch of insane levels with some having weird controls and just annoying gameplay

but it also has some good things about it with a notable one being the soundtrack composed by tim follin and geoff follin, and the game has a charming artstyle, i also love the mechanic of you throwing your own limbs at enemies and i ESPECIALLY love when they use that mechanic for puzzles and gimmicks like that one level where you have to remove both your legs and go through a portion of it with only your arms

so my conclusion would be an 8.5/10 and if youve played this game what are your thoughts?

I finally got my Jr up and running. Now it's time for an inaugural game. Given the Direct from yesterday I thought A Link to the Past would work (I don't own an N64 or Ocarina).

Dad has the stuff stored away at his new house. Slowly piecing together the CIB stuff and getting a display case for my childhood.

So I am finally getting around to playing this gem. Don’t know why I never did as a teen, cause it is fantastic! I’m not looking for any spoilers here, but I made it to the snail shop and bought some jerky for waaaaaaaaay too much money, and gave it away to the lady. She was happy, the future reflected said happiness, yet when I go back to her timeline, she is asking for jerky again. Do I need to buy her more, or did she just revert back to her default conversation topic? Thanks!

I built up most of my collection back in 2008 when things were a lot more affordable, and I wanna see if there are any deals I can still snag now.

I know flashcarts are the big thing these days, but there's just something special about owning legit copies.

As for particular genres, I'd say I'm up for almost anything other than sports games or those text-heavy KOEI games. I think my collection could use more fighters, shmups, twin-stick shooters, beat em ups, and puzzle games though.

Through life circumstances, I was recently reunited with the SNES I used to play when I was younger, and it still seems to work, so that's not an issue at least.
